- "Ivyleigh House has that old world charm that I love. Beautifully appointed rooms and a delicious breakfast made to order. Very quiet yet within walking distance to shops and dining. I truly enjoyed my stay there. " - "Hosts are gems and the breakfast is delicious! Highly recommend " - "Access to the B&B was convenient with a private parking lot behind the house. Check-in was easy and quick. The room was decorated to reflect the period of the house. The bed was comfortable, chairs were provided, and there was, good lighting, coffee and a hot pot. The bathroom was clean with a large shower and lots of towels and wash cloths. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water but the shower head is in need of replacement. The surrounding grounds were nicely landscaped and maintained. The owners were friendly and helpful. We were served a delicious hot breakfast that we were able to choose from a list of five or so options. We could walk the downtown streets to restaurants, pubs, shopping, coffee, ice cream, bakery, grocery and pharmacy within 3-5 minutes. I would recommend this B&B and I would absolutely stay here again."

We built the house in 1998 having found a beautiful location in the heart of the Slieve Bloom National Park yet just two miles from the lovely Slieve Bloom Village of Clonaslee with its five lively pubs. Our architect designed our house to maximise on the south facing aspect which looks directly into the mountains and used local materials wherever possible. The upstairs galley is a lovely feature giving a sense of flow and integrated space to the living room. The gardens set on one and a half acres have been our passion, literally transforming it from overgrown grazing spade by spade over 15 years. It now includes a 80 metre stream, sensor lights, 200 metre boardwalk, two firepits over 600 trees and shrubs, raised beds, herbs and two strawberry beds. Being in the heart of Ireland many guests have also enjoyed the opportunity to use it as a base for exploring.

We are in the heart of the Slieve Bloom I Environment Park. There are deer, peregrine falcons, pine martens, badgers, rare toads, a sighting by a guest of a kingfisher by the stream, endangered pipistrel bats and field mice. We keep the home very well maintained and it has been known for a bat to find its way through an open window and field mice are curious. We have never received house calls about deer or peregrine falcons.

We have been welcoming guest for the last seven years and you can view their comments from our guest book on our website.

- "The house is so clean and had everything we needed. The house is in an idyllic, quiet location and convenient to everywhere we wanted to travel. Thank you Michael for an ideal house for our stay." - "House was clean and tidy and all very comfortable. There were a few issues though and they are unfortunately recurring ones. The garden area is severely in need of work done . Timber and little bridges all have rotting timber and little pathways (except on lawn area) overgrown. Certainly not suitable for children and hazardous for adults to walk on timber areas . The house itself , there were a few issues also. The oven door not closing properly,, no wine glasses ( even plastic would do)ever , a small freezer is definitely needed in house and badly missed. We would certainly rent this house again but feel all these issues need to be addressed as we are paying a lot of money to rent this property"

Ballintubbert House is a truly hidden gem. Nestled near the quiet hills of Stradbally - it a most peaceful retreat for friends and family. First built in 1725 Ballintubbert House comes with 14 acres of gardens and grounds that have been kept and lovingly cultivated over the years.

A panoramic mirror lake, the apple orchard, intimate gardens and wonderful sunsets coming in from across the hills; it is a space apart. The House itself is carefully decorated for ease and comfort with an elegant character. It has five double bedrooms, two drawing rooms, a beautiful kitchen adjoined by the breakfast/dining room. Further acccommodation is available on the property in our Garden Wing.

Close by are the towns of Athy, Stradbally and Portlaoise. Athy has the River Barrow and the Grand Canal running through it, as well as a number of local shops and pubs (we particularly recommend O Briens). With less bustle than the market town, Stradbally also has some excellent pubs and is equidistant from Ballintubbert. Portlaoise, a larger town, is just a little further beyond.

Local attractions are aplenty - Strabdbally Woods for walk, Dunamaise Rock or Emo Court for an exploration, drive the original Gordon Bennet route (but observe speeds restrictions please), visit the charming Burtown Gardens and their Green Door Restaurant. There are other gardens in Co. Laois and, nestled in the heart of the midlands, nothing is too far away.

While Dublin is only a little over an hour away, Ballintubbert is a beautiful place to be in and you will not want to leave.
