Ashbrook House

Out in peaceful countryside, Ashbrook is a quiet oasis, yet very close to Phoenix Park and the city centre. Given its proximity to urban life it comes as a delightful surprise. Imagine arriving at night by taxi to a city address, and waking up in the morning to birds singing, surrounded by fields and gardens, and not a building in sight!

Ashbrook is a beautifully maintained Georgian house, on a more manageable smaller scale than some, decorated in bright welcoming colours and with comfortable furniture. The spacious bedrooms have telephones. The two sitting rooms have rounded ends, as does one of the bedrooms; and the dining room, where breakfast is served, easily seats twelve people. The grounds include a grass tennis court and walled garden. Ashbrook is popular with business people, and Eve Mitchell, who is a delightful hostess, runs a busy establishment. No pets and no smoking. Visa, Access, Mastercard accepted. Suitable for children.

To reach Ashbrook exit the N3 at the roundabout with the Halfway House Pub, cross the railway line, and turn on to River Road. Obtaining directions might be advisable.

First class guide to Ireland's bed and breakfast lodging

Bed and Breakfast Ireland reviewed in Chicago Tribune
Maybe you'll stay in the place described as a pre-Famine wisteria-covered farmhouse -one of several overnight options in Westport, County Mayo. Or maybe you'll opt for the large Georgian mansion just beyond an iron gateway in Ballymote, County Sligo. Maybe you'll stay in one of the other 400 or so accommodations in this revised and expanded version of the book (Bed and Breakfast Ireland) that first hit the United States in 1991. Only an occasional line drawing interrupts the text; and in the back of the 319 page book, regional maps-which include ferry routes-cover the whole of the Irish Isle, from Derry and Belfast in the north to the Dingle Peninsula and Cork in the south. Each lodging entry ends with the names of the owners, season of operation and number of rooms. This review refers to an earlier edition of Bed and Breakfast Ireland as is the extract above. The latest edition of Dillard and Causin's Bed and Breakfast Ireland contains even more entries.
