"Everything was wonderful, except for the flushing of toilet."

We had a great stay. Please stay in touch. The cottage was in a perfect place within close distance to Dublin and the wedding place at Kilkea Castle. This was an amazing time for us.

"The property is obviously very traditional, but with modern touches."

It had everything we needed, and provided a comfortable base for our short break close to Dublin. Thank you.

"What a great cottage in a great location."

Far enough from Dublin to feel rural yet close enough to the Luas train (Red Cow Station) that you can get into the city in no time - without the grief of dealing with traffic and parking. Friendly owner, cozy cottage. Lots of nearby grocery stores and restaurants. If you're tired of staying in a hotel and just want to feel at home this is the place for you. I'd highly recommend Borahard Lodge for your stay.

"The owner and her family couldn’t have been kinder."

They were extremely helpful with directions, as well as helping us navigate trains, buses etc. We had a toilet seat that was loose and her son came and fixed it immediately. We needed more towels, Bridie brought them immediately. We felt safe there and would take walks on their farm. We even met their sweet dog Dora who we would always look forward to being greeted by when we returned home. I highly recommend their homey farm cottage.

Paddy was very helpful. And the kids loved our daily visits from little Dora the Jack Russell. House was very clean and had everything we needed.

"Borahard Lodge is clean, well-equipped, comfortable, and homely."

You can hear the traffic from the nearby main road, but it did not spoil our stay or prevent sleeping. It is an excellent base for exploring the Wicklow Mountains. Newbridge and Naas have all the shops and excellent restaurants.

Thank you Property Owner

"This is a gem of a property and made for a wonderful 8 night stay."

It is well equipped and beds are comfy and easy to get anywhere. We even took the green bus one night to Mooney’s Pub in Monasterevin and back and bus stop is in close proximity. Hosts are very accommodating even when our plane was delayed by 12 hours and we checked in at 2 am. Patrick came out to greet us. Highly recommended this purpose built cottage. We will book again for sure. Kate & PJ (from Canada)

So many places like Glendalough, Russborough House, Kilkenny, etc. within 1 to 1 1/4 hours' drive away. The house was cozy, and the beds were comfortable. Our hosts were very pleasant and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Recommend this place and expect we'll be back next year!

The property

Newbridge 2.8 miles.

Resting in Borahard in County Kildare, on a working dairy farm, is this single-storey, detached cottage, Borahard Lodge.

Lying less than 30 miles from the city of Dublin, Borahard Lodge is a fantastic base for city trips as well as rural adventures, with two bedrooms accommodating up to six guests, it's ideal for families.

Spend time together after big days out in the open-plan living space; while someone is rustling up a delicious dish in the fitted kitchen, the table dining table can be set for all to gather round before toasting to your holiday, afterwards retiring to the homely sitting area before the TV.

Settle down in either of the two family rooms, both hosting a double and a single bed, with one featuring an en-suite shower room, and the other enjoying use of the family bathroom.

Take pleasure in sitting out in the enclosed patio on a fresh morning before you begin the day, or end the evening here with a refreshing drink.

Enjoy a day out at The Curragh Racecourse, a famed thoroughbred venue, with other equestrian events in the area including racing at Naas and Punchestown.

Spend a peaceful afternoon fishing in Robertstown, or practice you swing in one of the several golf courses nearby.

Newbridge is home to a range of shops, pubs and local businesses and is just under three miles away, whilst less than a mile down the road is a petrol station with a SPAR shop and a restaurant and bar, perfect for picking up any essentials or grabbing a bite to eat.

Over the border into Wicklow is the Russborough House and Parklands, with an ornate 18th century Palladian villa to explore, home to collections of porcelain, furniture and art, with beautiful grounds surrounding it too.

Delight in a leisurely walk along the Blessington Greenway linking the town of Blessington with Russborough House, passing the shores of Blessington Lakes through enchanting forest and woodland too, stopping to appreciate the magnificent scenery and wildlife before you.

Families will surely love a trip to Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park, Wallaby Woods Donadea, Clonfert Pet Farm, and The Kildare Maze.

Reserve at least one day for exploring Dublin too if you've not been before, with attractions including Dublin Zoo, Dublinia, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum and plenty more.

Enjoy a fun-filled break to Ireland at Borahard Lodge.

Note: This property has a refundable Good Housekeeping bond of €50.
