Lawcus Farm

Top choice in Counties Wexford, Waterford, Carlow & Kilkenny


Bought as a thatched ruin, this 18th-century farmhouse 3km east of Kells has been rebuilt to create an enchanting place to stay. Rooms typically have stone walls, rustic antiques and quirky curiosities, while breakfast features the farm's own eggs, sausages and ham. The property is bordered by the Kings River; fishing is available for guests, as are free bikes.

Hidden in a small copse away from the main house, its two-person timber tree house has a small kitchenette and veranda but no TV or wi-fi; the minimum stay is two nights (€250 for the first two nights, €100 for subsequent nights).
