The Pump House is a traditional style cottage, located on a farm in Athy, a heritage town in Co. Kildare.  It overlooks a beautiful Victorian lawn with native and exotic trees to the front and a cobblestone yard to the back.  This is the only rental accommodation on the farm, so you will experience the unique sensation of having the whole place to yourself! Make the most of it!

Take time out and relax in the cosiness of the cottage. Logs are provided for the stove throughout your stay so you can enjoy a real fire anytime you like. There are also a number of books, games and films available for you to enjoy, as well as a music centre, television and DVD player.

If you feel more energetic, go for a long stroll through our fields and along the river Barrow. Take time to admire the many mature trees and shrubbery around you, spot the wildlife and hear the birdsong. You can also enjoy a romantic boat trip or try your hand at fishing. Fishing, boating, walking or just unwind. Do as little or as much as you choose…
Directions to the pump house
From Athy town centre, take the R417 towards Monasterevin. After about 1km take a left turn immediately after the Texaco petrol station. Drive about 50 metres and you will see facing you white gate posts. Go through the gate, drive down a long avenue and you will find The Pump House at the end.
Rooms
Twin Bedroom
The cottage is tastefully decorated throughout, bright and spacious, with the guests' comfort and relaxation in mind. The extra large bed in the bedroom has a high quality zip and link mattress, which can transform it into two single beds.   There is also room for a fold out bed or cot.

The loft over the kitchen is accessible by a ladder and sleeps two more adults or older children in a double futon.

In the bathroom, you can choose between an energising shower or a deeply relaxing bubble bath - with room enough for two! - and enjoy the comfort of a heated floor, large, warm towels and even your own bathrobe.

Crisp cotton sheets, fluffy pillows, snug duvets, combined with fresh air and exercise, will ensure you have a peaceful night sleep!
