The Pump House - cosy farm cottage for two

The Pump House is a traditional style cottage, which overlooks a beautiful Victorian lawn with native and exotic trees to the front, and a cobblestone yard to the back. The cottage is tastefully decorated throughout, bright and spacious, with the guests' comfort and enjoyment in mind. It has oil fired central heating and a solid fuel stove as well as a range of extra complimentary amenities. It is located next to our 18th century house, in the middle of 35 acres of farmland dotted with ancient trees, shrubberies, and a wide variety of wildlife and domestic animals-yet only 20 minutes walk from the historic town of Athy. The Barrow runs adjacent to it and is ideal for coarse fishing. We pride ourselves on the gentle hospitality we provide our guests and look forward to welcoming you soon!


About Athy: - a heritage town in south Kildare, situated on the intersection of the River Barrow and the Grand Canal. The town developed from a 12th century Anglo-Norman settlement and has many beautiful landmark monuments. The Heritage Centre, situated in the main town square, provides a wealth of information to all visitors and doubles as a local history museum. There are several important festivals in Athy throughout the year, namely Tri-Athy (early June), Gordon Bennett Vintage Motor Rally (June) and the Shackleton Autumn School (October). Tuesdays are market day in Athy. There is also a number of quality restaurants in the town, as well as traditional Irish pubs and a good selection of shops.

Activities on our farm: FISHING - The Barrow runs adjacent to our farm and offers fishing enthusiasts enjoyment all year round, with plenty of pike, bream and roach available.
FAUNA AND FLORA - ours is a visitor friendly farm and guests are welcome to roam through the fields and enjoy the countryside at close hand. There are many beautiful old trees dotted through the farm and a wide variety of wildlife and domestic animals to be seen: pheasants, rabbits, hares, hens, sheep, cows and horses. And while you're at it, don't forget to close your eyes and enjoy the magnificent bird song, particularly if you didn't get up to hear the Dawn Chorus at day break.

Other local activities: All of these and many more are available either in Athy or within a short distance drive: GOLF - see details below. FISHING - the River Barrow and the Grand Canal offer fishing enthusiasts enjoyment all year round, with plenty of pike, bream and roach available. HORSE RACING -The Curragh, Naas and Punchestown are the nearest racecourses and host monthly meetings. GREYHOUND RACING - a cheaper and exciting alternative to horse racing. Races take place in Newbridge every Friday and Saturday night. MOTOR RACING - for 'would-be Verstappens' at Mondello Park Racing Circuit. SOMETHING WE DIDN'T MENTION? If there is any other activity that you are particularly interested in, just ask and we will be happy to make enquiries for you!

Small, cozy and perfect

This place was in the perfect spot for all our travels. We toured almost all of Ireland and this was just in the perfect location. The owners were just so sweet and I loved their dog Rocket, he was the sweetest. It was so much better than staying at a hotel. It was a more home like feeling. I recommend this place to everyone

Pump house review

My boyfriend and I stayed at the pump house in December 2008. It was a wonderful stay. The house was very warm and welcoming and Claudia made us feel very at home straight away. The fire made it so cosy and perfect in the cold and rainy december weather and having shops nearby made it so easy to cook in the evening. I only wish we could'v stayed longer.

Great place, great hosts

We loved Athy and this cottage! Claudia and James were excellent hosts. They were there for anything we needed but also allowed us space and privacy. We did not rent a car for 3 of the 4 weeks we were there and relied on public transportation. We were able to walk to town, grocery stores and the train station from this property. With a car, everything in town is mere minutes away. The cottage provided everything we needed and was comfortable, clean and spacious
.our home away from home. The town has plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops to choose from and plenty of sites to see. You can enjoy the quiet of the countryside while still having amenities close by with this property. A true place to relax after a day of exploring all that Ireland has to offer.

The perfect getaway

We had a fabulous weekend in the Pump House, the decor is beautifully done and the wood burning stove a real treat, the cottage is extremely cosy in a late October chill. A fantastic hideaway set in beautiful surroundings, with the donkey coming to visit in the mornings. The surprise bottle of wine, the flowers in the room and the excellent amenities really added to our already surpassed expectations. Thank you so much to Claudia and James for making us so welcome, we would love to come back and enjoy more of the river and the local golf when the weather is more amenable. We enjoyed learning about Shackleton in Athy town museum and a trip to the farmers market provided us with an excellent dinner. The bed was a pure joy... I want one. Congratulations on getting it all right!

Erlebnisreiche Woche rund um Athy

Geschmackvoll eingerichtetes HĂ€uschen, sehr ruhig am Rand des StĂ€dtchens Athy gelegen. Sehr nette Vermieter. Guter Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr AusflĂŒge nach Kilkenny (unbedingt lohnend), nach Dublin, in die Wicklow Mountains, zahlreiche GĂ€rten rund um Carlow und Pferdeliebhaber kommen im Irish National Stud & Gardens auf ihre Kosten

Romantisches HĂ€uschen mit tollem Flair

Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienhaus in Irland. Die Einrichtung war sehr schön und trug zu einer ruhigen AtmosphĂ€re bei. Das Haus war gut ausgestattet und bot eine komfortable Unterkunft fĂŒr unseren Urlaub.Besonders hervorzuheben ist die gemĂŒtliche Gestaltung, und die herzlichen Willkommensgeschenke der Gastgeber. Die RĂ€umlichkeiten waren sauber und gut gepflegt. Die Lage des Hauses ermöglichte einen erholsamen Aufenthalt in einer ruhigen Umgebung.Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war unkompliziert und sehr freundlich. Der Check-in und Check-out verliefen reibungslos.Insgesamt können wir das Ferienhaus fĂŒr Paare aber auch kleine Familien wie uns (ein Kind) empfehlen, die eine ruhige und komfortable Unterkunft in Irland suchen.Vielen Dank fĂŒr den Aufenthalt.

Charmantes Cottage in idyllischer Lage

Claudia und James waren tolle Gastgeber! Das Cottage ist sehr gemĂŒtlich und liegt abseits, an Ende einer Schotterstraße, und hat viel Old-world-Charme. Rund um das Cottage stehen einige sehr alte, beeindruckend große Baeume, es gab frisch gebackene Scones zur BegrĂŒĂŸung, Tips fĂŒr AusflĂŒge und Restaurants. Leider waren wir nur fĂŒr 3 Naechte hier, aber wir haben es sehr genossen!

Wonderful family run farm.

The pump house is located on a multi generational family owned farm. The house could not be any cleaner or nicer. Claudia and James are wonderful hosts. We did some fishing along the banks of the river on their property. It’s very tranquil. This is a great home base for those looking to do day trips. Easily accessible. We’d highly recommend.

Oasis in Athy

We were absolutely delighted with this charming cottage and our hosts Claudia and James were extremely welcoming. Their attention to detail was very impressive and they thought of everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The animals were an absolute delight to see in the morning and evenings when we came home. It's our dream retirement cottage! Thank you, most sincerely to Claudia and James.

Ein wundervoller Ort

Wir waren leider nur von Donnerstag bis Sonntag im Pupmphouse - sehr sehr gerne wĂ€ren wir lĂ€nger geblieben. Das gemĂŒtliche HĂ€uschen, die mĂ€chtigen und eindrucksvollen alten BĂ€ume auf dem weitlĂ€ufigen GrundstĂŒck , die lieben Tiere in einer Umgebung, die man allen Tieren dieser Welt wĂŒnscht und vor allem: Claudia und James und ihre Familie, die uns herrlich unkompliziert, unglaublich hilfsbereit und sehr sympathisch in ihr wunderschönes Anwesen zum Erkunden und Sich-WohlfĂŒhlen aufgenommen haben. Ein ganz besonderer Platz mit ganz besonders offenen und freundlichen Menschen. Wir können diesen Ort nur wĂ€rmstens empfehlen.

Lovely little country house

Staying here was a good experience for us. The hosts were very pleasant and prompt with response to our questions and needs. The property is clean and well cared for. We enjoyed watching the dogs, chickens, horses, sheep and mule roam around. It is in a quiet country location about a mile or so from Athy town where there were shops, restaurants, and several supermarkets. Our favorite experiences were walking a number of the river and canal paths in the area. We also enjoyed a visit to Burtown Gardens and their excellent restaurant. The bed in this house was an American king-size and very comfortable. Be aware that the house is very compact and any noise in one room travels throughout. The kitchen was adequate and we cooked and ate our evening meals there. All in all a fine place to stay for our last week in Ireland that put us within easy driving distance of Dublin airport for departure home.

Schönes Cottage, tolle Lage, nette Vermieter

Das Cottage ist toll gelegen auf einem Hof mit Tieren, am River Barrow und sehr gut fĂŒr AusflĂŒge in die Umgebung geeignet. Egal ob Dublin, Waterford, Wicklow Mountains - alles ist innerhalb einer Stunde erreichbar. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was fĂŒr einen Ferienhaus-Urlaub notwendig ist (u.a. auch SpĂŒlmaschine, Waschmaschine) und schön eingerichtet. Die Vermieter waren sehr nett und immer zur Stelle, wenn Fragen waren - vielen Dank dafĂŒr! Schön war auch, dass wir uns auf dem Hof ĂŒber die Pferdekoppel ungestört zum Fluss bewegen und dort gemĂŒtlich den Abend verbringen konnten. Alles in allem eine perfekte Unterkunft, die wir sehr gern weiterempfehlen.

Außergewöhnliche, gemĂŒtliche Unterkunft und sehr nette Gastgeber

Das Pump House ist liebevoll und gemĂŒtlich eingerichtet und im Vergleich zu den anderen UnterkĂŒnften auf unserer Rundreise nicht nur wegen der Esel, Pferde, Hunde und HĂŒhner auf dem Hof etwas Besonderes. Claudia und James sind super nett. Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten und haben uns direkt wohl gefĂŒhlt. Claudia spricht sehr gut Deutsch und hat uns gute Tipps fĂŒr unseren Ausflug mit Auto und Bahn nach Dublin gegeben. Schade, dass wir nicht lĂ€nger bleiben konnten. Many Thanks and all the best to Claudia and James

Great find

The cottage was a great location for us. The bed was so comfortable, and the wood burner very cosy. Claudia and James were lovely hosts. The only downside was the noise of the water pump every time the toilet flushed or the shower/ taps were in use. I would stay again though
