From the owner

Duffys of Ballybin is a family-owned farm in south County Meath, between Ashbourne and Ratoath, offering self-catering holiday accommodation.

Duffys of Ballybin offers the best of both worlds. The apartments are refurbished traditional farm buildings, located in a quiet secluded yard, surrounded by fields and forest. However, it is within easy reach of the local towns, for shopping and leisure. In fact, downtown Dublin is less than 45 minutes away and it is only a 20-minute drive to the airport.

The Hill of Tara, New Grange, Trim Castle, the historic Book of Kells, Tayto Park, championship golf courses and beautiful beaches are all within easy reach of Duffys of Ballybin.
