Set in rural Dublin (15 mins from Dublin Airport) on 365 acres of parkland. The original owners, the Cobbe family, continue to work alongside the local County Council (its new owners) to maintain the property and its contents. Our tour guides will bring you through three centuries of Irish History, from the opulence of a Georgian House, to a Victorian family home, through to rural life in the 20th Century and the world of an Irish Country House today. The house is world renowned for its unique collection of Irish furniture and the family collection of Old Master portraits and landscapes. Visitors enter the farm via an 18th century cobbled courtyard, where there is a vast array of animals ranging from Shetland and Connemara ponies, piglets, goats and baby chicks. One of the few working farms where visitors can see animals reared in an environment where they can move about freely and express normal patterns of behaviour.We are very committed to the preservation of many Irish and rare breeds.
