  We had a wonderful stay in Dora & Liam's beautiful countryside retreat.

The cottage is luxuriously decorated, with thoughtful touches and high end finishes. From the Belfast sink, to... read more Nespresso machine to Ritual products and a walk in shower, every moment felt like a 5 star experience.

We arrived late, and Dora had baked a beautiful selection of treats to welcome us. Our breakfast was in the fridge ready for the next morning including a freshly baked loaf. Dora & Liam were so welcoming, nothing was too much and we really felt completely at home.

Just a short stroll away was a lake and the Greenway by the canal - a cycle and walking route through the heart of the countryside.

I can't recommend this beautiful getaway highly enough.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!

  Booked 5 days in 'The Stables' and 3 days in 'The Cottag'e in July so all of our family could spend some time together. Both accommodation were fantastic, exceeded our... read more expectations and to top it all the weather was on our side.
I dont want to spoil the surprises but I can honeslty this is one of the best accommodation we have stayed in worldwide. Both Dora and Liam are amazing hosts and should be congratulated on what they have achieved.
So whether you want a short break or longer time to relax, I can only recommend booking either of The Stables or The Cottage. You will want to return just like us.Enjoy.

  This beautiful cottage is located just outside Mullingar but in a really rural setting just down the road from the lake. There are lots of lovely walks nearby. Dora and... read more Liam go above and beyond what you would ever imagine for hosts. The styling of the place is impeccable and they have provided everything you could ever need for a stay. its so cozy and idyllic. Couldn't recommend it enough!

  The most wonderful stay. We were well and truly spoilt with home made bakes and our hosts Dora and Liam were always on call for anything we needed. The Stables... read more is a beautiful place to stay. Immaculately clean and beautifully decorated with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are many wonderful walks around to suit everyone and Mullingar town is a 5 minute drive away for food shopping etc. The Stables really is a home from home stay and we wish we could have stayed longer. We cannot recommend this property or the hosts Liam and Dora enough. Thank you so much.

  We were staying at The Stables as we were working in the local area. The cottage is lovely, with great decor and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Dora is the... read more perfect host and left us a selection of yummy baked goods and a decent amount of breakfast staples in the fridge and cupboards. We hope to stay again on a leisure basis when coronavirus restrictions are lifted to allow it. Thank you Dora!

  This beautiful property is undeniably the perfect luxury retreat, but when you add in the genuine hospitality of the owners (Dora & Liam) who live close by, the experience takes... read more on a whole new dimension!

We rented the newly converted stables along with our best friends, to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and from the first contact I had with Dora, I knew we were were in good hands! She was so helpful with the planning of our visit, and even before we arrived I was confident we had made the right decision in booking here.

We were blown away when we arrived to see the trouble she had gone to to make the occasion special for Alan! She had made a fabulous Victoria sponge cake with fresh strawberries, the table was decorated with a 60th Birthday Balloon & sparkles, and there was even a card and a personal gift for him that was truly unexpected.

The attention to detail and the hospitality continued throughout our stay. Although they kept to themselves we knew that Liam or Dora were on hand if we wanted any advice, and if we needed anything we only had to ask and it appeared!

I loved the quality of the furnishings throughout the property, and you can tell that no expense has been spared to make this a really luxurious home away from home. The beds are so comfortable, as are the pillows and duvets. The bedlinen is of excellent quality and of course the decor/style is just perfection in each and every room!

On a practical level, the house is very well insulated so it is cosy and easy to heat. Every radiator is thermostatically controlled so you can adjust the temperature in the different rooms and if you prefer your bedroom cooler at night just can turn the heat off altogether. The Velux roof windows keep the interior lovely and bright during the day, but with electrically operated blinds you can plunge the bedroom into almost total darkness at night, which makes it perfect for a long lie on a sunny morning!

There's plenty of hot water for the shower (which is pumped, so plenty of pressure!) and that was with 4 of us getting spruced up in the evenings!

The area outside has been designed so that the people renting The Stables have lots of private space to enjoy. There's a place to park, and a choice of areas to sit, either in the wooded area or beside the house if you want to enjoy the sunshine.

The road outside is very quiet, so lovely for a stroll from the house down to the nearby lake, or if you have bicycles (as we did) it's very pleasant to cycle around the country lanes and only about 10-15 minutes if you want to go into town without your car. We spent every day accessing the wonderful Greenways that intersect Mullingar, with choices to ride along the Old Rail Trail or the fabulous Royal Canal that runs for almost 150kms from Dublin to Longford.

To summarise, I would say that The Stables is the perfect place to stay if you enjoy your creature comforts and want to relax in a beautiful rural setting, which is still only a few kilometres from the charming town of Mullingar. It is definitely the best property I have ever stayed at and I really do hope to return again.
