Monthly Rentals in Leinster Lodge

Staying at the Bog Man's Rest was a wonderful experience. Brian was away during my stay, but his Dad, Paddy, who runs the pub next door, was a friendly and helpful host, helping with questions on how to lock the AirBnB door, answering questions about Irish culture, and pouring the best pints of Guinness I've ever had. The bed was quite comfortable, the water heater was easy to use, and the surrounding countryside was beautiful. If you're looking for a home base in Co. Kildare and want to experience a living, breathing, family-owned pub and grocer loved by the community, stay here! One note - I think the accommodations are sized for an individual or couple (or maybe with one small child). The guest house is grand, but it might be tight for a family, and I only say that as I would stay with my family if we could fit (I was by myself). You won't go wrong here! Plus, Kildare town is only a 10 min drive away, so you're near the old historical town, shops, and more.

We felt right at home in Fran & Claires. From the moment we opened the front door, the warmth hit you. The comfort of the whole house was excellent. Well equipped with everything you needed. A welcome basket to get you started. Only five kilometres from Athy, it was perfect for us as we were attending a wedding. Lovely big garden with outdoor seating and bbq. Could not have asked for more. Home from home.

Mary is a fantastic host! This is our second time staying here and it was as good as the first. House is fab, lots of space, beds are very comfy, spotlessly clean. There’s a lovely cafe (mad hatter) and restaurant (bread and beer) located just a short stroll away and lots of things to do in the vicinity (kilkea castle, Irish national stud and gardens and burtown house) too

Pat was so kind and his place is beautiful! It’s was within perfect walking distance to the Greenfields festival that we went to this weekend! It was wonderful being able to walk around the town as well with the Blue Barroway right around the corner! He was also very helpful in offering tips on how to drive around Ireland in the next leg of our journey. Whenever I find myself in Athy again I’ll be back!
