The Smithstown house was off the beaten path, which is exactly what we were looking for. An easy drive from the Dublin airport and to other places that we visited. The home was as described and even more character than we were expecting. James was very responsive to any questions that we had and provided recommendations of places to go and eat. We hope that we get another chance to visit Ireland and if that happens would definitely stay at the Smithstown house again!

A great property is a location that has you near many site of Ireland. We loved the rural feel.

Family Vacation and this was a great start. James was a great host and the rooms were perfect for us. A great rural feel with small towns close by the property. Visited Dublin Howth and Nevan. All great times. The best was the hill of Tara on the summer solstice at sunset. Great location!

Beautiful location in the country 40 mins outside of Dublin

The property is a nice place to stay. James is a easy-going and friendly host. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a spacious living area and kitchen. It has everything you need for an extended stay. It's in a beautiful area close to tourist attractions, such as castles. I am happy we stayed there.

Look no further: this is the ideal Irish countryside retreat. Watch the sun rise over the misty fields and treat yourself to a homecooked breakfast. Drive to Dublin or any of the countless sights within an hours drive of town. Then spend your nights sleeping in a house with history on a real Boyne Valley farm. My friends and I had never left the country before so we didn't know what to expect, but James made us feel right at home. If I ever go back to Ireland I know where I'm staying!

Lovely stay at Irish farm house

We had a wonderful stay at this Irish country house!! Spent the week with my family exploring Ireland. Smithstown house is in a quaint little countryside town outside of Dublin. You are in the country but never felt too outside the city. James is a lovely host!
