About this property

Delightful village retreat in the heart of Multyfarnham - 1 hour from Dublin

Right in the middle of a quiet rural village and situated in the lake county, (good fishing area) an hour from Dublin, this is the ideal spot to relax or use as a base to travel from. Golf is big, with 5 golf courses within half an hour travelling distance. The house, once the village bakery, is to the rear of Weirs Bar & Restaurant, our award winning Gastro Pub. Our restaurant open's Wed-Sat 12.30 -8.30pm & Sunday, 12.30-8pm. The house is decorated quite modernly and we will do our best to help you enjoy your holiday.
We have just received a Bridgestone Award 'Best in Ireland 2022' so we are delighted with that.

'While too many bars serve peanuts and Sky Sports, this rural pub does fine food instead' writes TOM DOORLEY - IRISH TIMES
'not serving rare and exquisite dainties, it's serving the sort of food that most of us eat on a daily basis, but it's doing it very well. If we've arrived at a point where wholesome, well-made food can be found in pubs in small villages and towns around the country, then we have a reason to celebrate. IRISH INDEPENDENT

Exactly what you would want if you had a cottage in Ireland

It’s perfectly located for day trips, right next to an amazing pub with great food and good beer. The owners are friendly, helpful and informative. It has all the amenities that you need for an extended stay. The WiFi is great, it has a nice kitchen, a good sized comfortable bed, wading machine, access to a dryer. It was a great to relax between day trips and we had a fabulous vacation. We would definitely visit Una and Pat again!

Cosy cottage an hour from Dublin

We had a lovely stay at Una’s property. We were two sisters on holiday with our mother from Canada, who traces her ancestry back to multiple location in Ireland, so Una’s rental was a perfect choice as it wa more central, yet still close to Dublin, giving us the best of both worlds. Una was a wonderful host who immediately made us feel at home. The house had many amenities and clearly was prepared with thought and care, and we loved visiting the Weir’s restaurant next door, and particularly appreciated that they had vegan options! We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful

We contacted Una and let her know we were going to be in town earlier and asked for things to do to fill our time until we arrived and she instantly offered us to check in early. Una and Pat were so friendly. They visited with us and that aspect of getting to know each other was wonderful. We used this home as home base to go to The cliffs of Moher and Kilkenny Castle. Ran into Mulingar to grab lunch and shop, which was only 15 minutes away. Mulingar had a great Pub, Danny Byrnes, I would highly suggest going if possible. Una and Pat’s pub was through the roof, the best food, company, service, atmosphere and wood stove! Una brought us brown bread and fresh butter at the home. Pat suggested TullyNally castle and it is a must! It’s nearby and is still occupied but an older man, amazing. I truly could not ask for better hosts.Thanks Una & Pat. Jesus bless you

Home from home - 10 star!

The most wonderful stay - the property was absolutely spotlessly clean, lovely comfy bed, extremely well equipped and fantastic bits (tea,coffee etc) to get you started. Quiet friendly village with fantastic local shop and The Weir is fantastic for a drink and food. Pat and Una are both fantastic hosts, the best property we have ever stayed in. Will definitely be back without a doubt, and thoroughly look forward to our next visit! Thank you!!

Great Stay

Loved our stay here, wonderful little town! Would definitely stay again. The home was very comfortable and the owner Una was very kind and helpful. Restaurant next door also run by Una is an added bonus and very good. Recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a quiet peaceful place to stay with access to many attraction within an hour or so driving distance.

Irish Hospitality

My husband and I couldn't have been happier with this rental. The property was charming and near the excellent restaurant/pub run by the owners. I could enjoy live pub music one night, and the next, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious meals served to us. Best of all, Pat and Una went above and beyond the duties of hosts. When my car unexpectedly -- and suddenly -- developed problems with its clutch, Una immediately contacted a friend, a mechanic, who was able to repair the car within a day. Meanwhile, she had lent us her own car to enable us to carry out our plans to visit a dear friend in Sligo. They were so friendly and kind! I hope we can return someday and meet them again.

City access, at a country pace

We stayed in Multyfarnham for easy access to Dublin, and found it to be just that. Close enough to be convenient, but far enough out to be a quiet little village, which is much more our speed. Dinner at Weirs was SO GOOD, and it was nice to have it right there. All the staff was very welcoming and helpful, we could feel that they were truly happy to host and take care of all their guests. The house is so roomy and was a great place to land after a day in the city.

Surpising Gem

We stayed in 6 different VRBO rentals all over Ireland this past month. Of them all, this was the best of all. It was very clean, had an attentive host (managing the lovely restaraunt in front), it was quiet and secluded, the grounds were beautiful...and best of all, the Multifarnham area was astounding. I took a short walk and found the Abbey in town that included a botanical garden with cafe (and tea houses scattered around the grounds), and an amazing park and walking paths around the Abbey. We went to Trim and th Belvedere mansion grounds south of Mulliganar, and spent an easy day in Dublin, all from this location. An easy last drive to the airport from here.

Multyfarnham

Owners Una and Patrick "Pat" Weir are the warmest and friendliest hosts we've ever encountered. We arrived from a late flight at 9:00 o'clock and were welcomed immediately by Una as we parked our car in front of Weirs Bar & Restaurant. Even though the kitchen had closed, she handed us menus and made us comfortable while a lovely meal was prepared for us. She then showed us our comfortable accommodations and we quickly felt at home. It was a wonderful week for us as we enjoyed several tours that the Weirs suggested. We’ve just left to visit another part of Ireland and we miss their friendly smiles already!

Best bolthole

We loved staying here! Not fancy but has everything you need. Best part about it is Pat and Una Weir- great hosts, incredible food in the pub and the best bunch of “regulars” who hold court in the bar. Great location to go and visit Dublin- close without being in the crazy! We hope to visit again someday!

WONDERFUL STAY

We stayed her for 3 weeks as it was close to being central in the Republic of Ireland. Wonderful hosts, wonderful meals in the pub, great meeting some of the locals and in a few short days we felt like locals. The accommodation was clean and everything that we needed was at hand. If we ever come to Ireland again we will certainly stay here. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Even the cat came to say hello. Yes a great stay

We had a wonderful time staying at the Weir's property. It is a perfect amount of space, and a lovely place to come home to at the end of the day. We also ate at the owner's restaurant, and the food was amazing! Note: the restaurant and pub are closed (at least currently) Mon-Wed.

Best decision possible

Excellent hosts, very comfy house + enormous garden, very friendly dog (my daughter's favourite part), perfect location if visiting different locations in Ireland. Nothing is ever too much hassle for the hosts, oven decided to stop working on our 3rd day and it was fixed the following morning. Best pub food ever (home cooked, delicious, great variety). Will definitely consider repeating on our next visit to Ireland!!

The Real Ireland

We had hoped to experience "the real Ireland" and that goal was achieved. This apartment gave us a great central location for visiting the Midlands and East to Dublin. Pat and Una gave us such a warm welcome - we really felt like part of the family. Additionally, we spent some lovely evenings at Weir's Bar and Restaurant for great food, great drink and, best of all, Irish hospitality.

Excellent place to stay while exploring Ireland

This comfortable, well equipped property is tucked away behind the main street in the quiet village of Multyfarnham. The central position of the village allows for extensive day trips, including to Dublin, Galway and Sligo as well as being well placed as a base from which to explore central Ireland. The hosts are very helpful and welcoming, there are delicious meals on hand, available at their bar and restaurant and supplies for self catering can easily be obtained from stores in nearby Mullingar. Would thoroughly reccommend it as a place to stay and hope to revisit in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Una Weir

Host profile image
The house is in the family since sometime in the 1800's, and until about 60 years ago it was a bakery for the local townspeople. The picture is us, the family with Johnny Depp, he came for lunch in November 2013. This was major excitement for us and the national media also. He said he'll be back because he thoroughly enjoyed his lunch and the relaxed atmosphere. When you sample a little of our life and ways you will understand the attraction to our village and our house.

Why they chose this property

Originally the house was a bakery but when we came to live here, the house was a store for the beers for the bar. It took three refurbishments to make it what it is today. It is cosy, yet spacious, and decorated in a contemporary style but has some of the features of the old building. The view out the back window is the yard and gardens. There are old stone barns with red painted doors.

What makes this property unique

The house is at the back of the restaurant and bar, so you don't have to leave the property to get to bed after your dinner or spending time with the locals in the bar. The atmosphere in the bar is unpredictable in the sense that it might be quiet with just the turf fire to keep you company or there could be stories from one of the locals to entertain you. On Friday night (most weeks) there is music in the bar, where you are welcome to join in if you wish. It is a mix of sing-a-long, country, blues, pop and some Irish folk songs also.
