Reviewed Jun 21, 2026We arrived late on a Friday evening and were greeted by Mary who showed us to our room, providing us with information about what was available locally. The room was a really good size with a good double and single bed. Kettle, cups with tea and coffee were provided along with a bottle of water each. The bathroom was enormous with a huge, hot shower with great water pressure along with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. The setting is in beautiful countryside so extremely restful but with Athy less than 10 minutes away with plenty of eateries and entertainment available. We were staying overnight before an event in Carlow which was really convenient too. Breakfast was very tasty with a selection of porridge, cooked breakfasts, toast, cereals, drinks and eggs on offer. The dining room again is very bright and spacious. Again Mary wasn't short of conversation in the most comfortable sense, a lovely host. Late breakfast and checkout are a further attraction to top of excellent service and accomodation.
Absolutely nothing. I genuinely feel bad that they weren't charging more for the service they provide. We'll be back

Reviewed Sep 7, 2023I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Ballindrum Farm. My room was clean, nicely decorated, and had a beautiful view. Mary (the owner) was very welcoming and even drove me to town because I didn't have a car. To top it off, guests are allowed to watch the cows being milked every day from a viewing gallery (yes, Ballindrum is also a working dairy farm). I highly recommend it.
10/10
Reviewed Sep 5, 2023We vacationed in Ireland for 10 days, and of all the b & b's we stayed at, this was our favorite. Mary was a sweet and welcoming host. We got to walk around their farm and watch the cows being milked. There was a large selection for breakfast with homemade baked goods and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Many places claimed to have homemade baked goods, but this was the real thing. I highly recommend Ballindrum Farm.

Reviewed Sep 4, 2023We had a really lovely stay. The location was so quiet & peaceful but yet well connected to motorways etc. Very comfortable room with a big shower room. Breakfast was fantastic with a wonderful choice of fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts & home baked breads & scones, cheese & jams along with an extensive cooked breakfast menu which was delicious. Mary was very helpful & made us feel welcome. We will be back!

Reviewed Aug 20, 2023We were a family of 8 adults and 5 children aged 11 9 6 5 and 2. The farm was great for children there was a room with toys and games that suited all ages which was a bonus to keep them amused. Breakfast was amazing and Mary couldn't do enough for us. She went above and beyond.
The kids were disappointed that they didn't get to see any animals as we had thought with it being a working farm there would be cows, sheep etc.. and we didn't see any.

Reviewed Aug 18, 2023When we arrived Mary offered us tea and coffee with home made scones. Her home is very welcoming. Nothing is no bother to her. Very very helpful person. Her home is very clean and tidy with good shower facilities. She is very accomodating with breakfast times and when we were leaving she printed us out a route planner for our next destination. The range of food she supplies for breakfast was excellent and you would definitely not leave her home hungry. She can cater for people with gluten free allergies as well. All in all it was an excellent house to stay in. I will call again. Its just like home from home.
