County Westmeath, Ireland

An hour from Dublin, and in the evening you hear nothing

A detached house near Ballynagore, County Westmeath: thick walls, an open fire, three bedrooms for six. Dublin is an hour away, motorway most of the way — a day in the city and back by the fire that evening. The key is in a box by the door, so you arrive whenever suits you, from €98 a night.

Spring Cottage

5.00· 24 reviewsAn hour from Dublin, with nothing to hear in the evening

Among the fields of Westmeath stands the house alone, with thick walls and an open fireplace. Three bedrooms, six people, two bathrooms one of which has a bathtub. There's nothing around the corner — for a shop or a pub you get in the car — but Dublin is an hour's drive away, so a day in the city is possible without having to relocate. The key is in a box, so you arrive whenever suits you.

There's no one in between

We let our own houses, with no middleman. That's why no platform service fee ever appears on screen: what you watch add up against the dates is what you pay.

We look after them ourselves

The four houses in Albir sit between 4.94 and 4.97 on Airbnb, across 222 reviews between them; the Irish house is on 5.00 over 24. We've renovated them all and we look after them ourselves.

Arriving without paperwork

The day before you leave, you fill in who's coming on your phone; a photo of your passport fills the fields for you. In Spain that registration is a legal requirement, in Ireland it isn't. Either way, there's nothing left to do when you arrive.

Very quiet location at the end of a little country lane with friendly cows as neighbours! The real human neighbours were friendly too, just waving as they passed by, not that anyone passes by often. We had a great stay

Staying at Saskia's home was great. It's a spacious family house where absolutely nothing is missing. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, the living room has games and books,.....we felt very comfortable and at ease in the house. As for Saskia, she was a great host, she gave us clear instructions, tips about sights. This house was definitely a great choice.

Really beautiful and peaceful. Wifi didn't work. That was the only problem.

Saskia's house is simply perfect and they're the perfect host! Saskia communicated often, clearly and was so friendly. The house was spotless and cozy. We booked it so we could be in Ireland for Christmas with our family. It was twenty minutes from Mullingar - an easy quick drive. The house was so spacious. At no point did we feel like we were on top of each other - like in a hotel room. I really loved waking up every morning and stepping out the front door with a cup of tea to enjoy the fields. The area is so peaceful and typically Irish. I would recommend this property to EVERYONE!!! When we go back to Ireland we're booking Saskia's house!!! WE LOVED IT!

First line here is literal: there's no street between the apartment and the boulevard. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a shared pool.
