About this property

The Groom's Cottage Brownstown Kentstown Balrath

  • Stone Cottage that once was the head groom's house in the old stone stable yard that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth's bloodstock manager. The Cottage has been renovated in a tasteful traditional style. In a rural location but just 35 minutes from Dublin airport. It lies in the Boyne valley midway between the megalithic monuments at Newgrange and Tara, the traditional hall of the Irish High Kings.

Quaint, historic, beautiful

We loved this place; historic, quaint, beautiful setting. We enjoyed the feeling of being “in” Ireland, instead of a hotel setting. There were 6 of us and we were very comfortable. The host was very accommodating with our changing plans. Thank you!

Cottage in the country

The Grooms Cottage was a rustic wonderful stay. It is in the country but really not far from shops. Having only 1 bathroom was a little difficult in the morning with 5 adults but they are working on an upstairs one, it just wasn't ready for our stay. I definitely would come back to the Grooms Cottage!
