Spring Cottage stands alone in the countryside, surrounded by nature. It's a house to unwind in: thick walls, an open fireplace, and nothing to hear in the evening. And yet you're not cut off: Dublin is an hour's drive away, mostly on the motorway. You can leave after breakfast, see Trinity College and the Book of Kells, walk through Temple Bar and Grafton Street, and be back by the fireplace in the evening — it all fits into one day. Dublin Airport is about the same distance away, so if you're flying in, you can drive straight through to the house. Closer by, you can explore Westmeath and Meath — Mullingar and Navan are nearby, and the area is full of historic monuments, forests and lakes. Inside, everything you need is there: three bedrooms with beds, two bathrooms, one with a bathtub, a kitchen, washing machine and dryer, and a 55-inch TV with Chromecast for evenings when it's raining outside. You check in yourself, using the key box.

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!

We stayed for almost a week as a family of four. The house is set in the countryside with only a lovely herd of cows as neighbours ;-) It was a great base for trips to Meath, Westmeath (Newgrange, Hill of Tara, Trim Castle…) and even Dublin.

We had wonderful days in this really lovely little house. Everything was spotless and immaculate. The surroundings are wonderfully peaceful and pleasant. And yet Dublin is just a short distance away, and there was so much to discover. Thanks Saskia for having us stay with you. We recommend this little house 100%.

We rent out a house and three apartments in Albir, two of them with sea views. We also have a house in the Irish countryside, in County Westmeath: quiet and peaceful, with plenty of sights nearby and ideal for walkers. We manage the rentals ourselves.
