Meath Country House

Holiday Rental Description

Home to the St. Oliver Plunkett Family Church, the central six-acre expanse was restored by generations of designers leading back to Charles Robert Cockerell, an innovator of neo-classical architecture. Today, we can marvel at an array of alluring routes through this planned-landscape. An impressive avenue of yew trees dominate the main walk, surveying an elegant parterre.

Extensive lawns and terraces are encased by a physic and herbaceous border, with a canal and water gardens to be found further on. A medieval motte and walled garden also occupy a place in this diverse canvas. Beyond the gardens are a panorama of hills and an extended walk through an oak and laurel forest to Lough Croabh. The lake makes a remarkable scene with its crannog, and its reflection of the steep forested hills surrounding it.This surrounding country is also home to some of Ireland’s oldest archaeological treasures, and a site of enormous historical and religious significance.

The gardens provide a breathtaking spectacle, steeped in historical intrigue. This expansive Boutique Estate can be booked for a stay in which the guests can enjoy free reign over the entirety of the House and grounds.
