Martinstown House

Originally part of the extensive estates of the Dukes of Leinster, Martinstown was completed by the Burrowes family between 1832-40 in the charming "Strawberry Hill" gothic style as a cottage orné. Many interesting people have stayed her. And today’s visitors enjoy old-fashioned hospitality but with modern day comforts. The house is beautifully decorated and has an informal elegance with a most welcoming atmosphere.

Outside there are wonderful trees, a well-maintained walled garden with a hard tennis court, an old icehouse, cattle, sheep and a donkey and proper free-range hens.

Nearby racecourses include the Curragh, Naas and Punchestown. The National Stud and Japanese Gardens are 4 miles away. For golfers there are several challenging course within 30 minutes, Dublin is 32 miles and the Wicklow Mountains are reached well within the hour, as is Dublin Airport.
