Flower arrangements and fresh produce from the garden and eggs from the farm makes it homely. Extensive grounds with mature trees and views over the river to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Newgrange. Walled garden, farmyard fowl, and beautiful BBQ area and pizza oven area hidden away in the ancient Yew wood. Walks by the river, dogs to accompany you on a riverside walk and maybe come across one of the residents who live on the estate, who can tell you the many stories and legends of this beautiful area and its history which dates back to the 6th century makes Rossnaree House a memorable place to spend a week or a few days and an ideal place for families.

Beautiful property and location
The beauty of Rossnaree House, the grounds, and its views of Newgrange cannot be overstated! Aisling was absolutely wonderful to meet and converse with, and her property manager helped us get our heavy luggage to our rooms upon arrival and to our vehicle when we checked out - this was so appreciated and helpful, especially for my older parents. Aisling left us fresh eggs, bread and strawberries in the kitchen for our arrival which was amazing. Word to the wise that we had some issues with the WIFI and fitting our large adapters in some of the older outlets close to the floor, but that was minor. Just want folks to be able to plan accordingly. There are WIFI instructions on hand and the property manager said he could help with any issues, we just didn’t have time to meet up with him due to our schedule and shorter stay. It really made no difference, because it was minor in comparison to the history and beauty this home and grounds have to offer. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and hope to be back! I’d recommend you bring smaller plug adapters and work with the property manager early on if you have an issue connecting to the WIFI - it could have been our error. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, Aisling! I hope to return someday soon!!

The house and grounds are beautiful and the view is spectacular. The owner is gracious. We did not understand from the description that a car is a virtual necessity for a pleasurable stay here. Nothing is within walking distance and there is no public transportation. Again, the setting of the house is fantastic and the house is suitable for a large group. We were seven and had room left over. The experience was priceless.

We felt as if we were characters in a Jane Austin book
First of all, Ainslie was a warm and wonderful host and we thank her! She stocked the kitchen with fresh breads, cakes, milk and butter. The home is magnificent and you can read its history in one of the books in the drawing room. The grounds are ample and gorgeous with views of rolling hills with sheep and cattle atop. There were 10 of us and we all had our own rooms and bathrooms. We could see Newgrange from the window. The kids were enchanted by the chickens, peacocks, geese and ducklings. It was a 40 min drive into Dublin but that suited our purposes. The only reason I didn’t give a perfect Cleanliness score was because it’s impossible to keep such a large country home immaculate. There are bound to be a few bugs or cobwebs. To be clear, we were very happy with our stay

Stunning historic house with beautiful views
It was amazing waking up and looking out my window to see Newgrange and Knowthe. What an experience to be in such a beautiful and historic home. The grounds are amazing, took a long walk along the Boyne with a couple of donkeys joining in. Aisling was welcoming and generous. The library with the with the large screen projector was perfect for us to watch Downton Abbey and pretend we were there!

Birthday treat at Rossnaree
The house and location way exceeded our expectations.The house itself is absolutely stunning crammed with beautiful artwork and furniture. The views and location were absolutely incredible. We fished in the private stretch of river with great success. Aisling was always on hand to offer advice and tell us about some of the history of the property. All in all it was a magical stay . Thankyou Aisling from my family and I , and I very much hope we can come back to your magnificent house and country again . Nick &family.

Magical!
Our stay at this historic home and property was a pure delight. Our host and her family were so welcoming and the area is a fascinating place. Adults and children alike enjoyed the zip line behind the house and wandering the fields along the river with the local animals. Everything was perfection!

Lovely old mansion, a unique experience
This is an 1850 mansion (or manor house) with lots of rooms, staircases, peacocks, swallows, and character! We had a lovely visit for 3 nights. The grounds are spectacular, you can see Newgrange, Knowth, and the Boyne River Valley (and can walk right down to the river). Aisling was a delight, very responsive and friendly. A great visit, recommended for large groups!

Magical Rossnaree House
We received the warmest Irish welcome from Aisling, complete with a brief tour and history of the property, home, and to top that all off, we had fresh bread, fruit and jam to enjoy. What a welcomed treat after our long travels! There is so much rich history to learn about the home and surrounding property. It was truly a magical experience in every way. Aisling arranged fishing and kayaking on the Boyne River for our family and two lovely dinners on the property, one at the house and one in the magical forest. The location is perfect for trips into Dublin, Slane and Newgrange. Aisling and her team were the perfect hosts and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was lovely and memorable.
