Claim this listingStaying in Ashbourne
A fast-growing Meath town close to Dublin’s edge, best known today as a quiet commuter base and for the forgotten 1916 battle fought at its crossroads.
Ashbourne is a Meath town on the N2, around twenty five kilometres north of Dublin city, that has grown rapidly in recent decades from a small village into one of the county’s larger towns, largely as a commuter base for the capital. It does not have the historic streetscape of an old market town, but that makes it a practical, unpretentious base rather than a tourist stop in its own right.
The main reason to stay here is location. Ashbourne sits within easy reach of the Hill of Tara, seat of the ancient High Kings of Ireland, and the wider archaeological landscape of the Boyne valley, while still being close enough to Dublin for a day in the city. The town itself also has its own piece of history, as the site of the Battle of Ashbourne during the 1916 Easter Rising, fought at Rath Cross on its northern edge.
Things to do near Broadmeadow Country House
The Battle of Ashbourne site at Rath Cross
On the 28th of April 1916, Volunteers under Thomas Ashe fought an engagement with the Royal Irish Constabulary at Rath Cross on the edge of the town, one of the more successful actions of Easter Week outside Dublin. A memorial at the crossroads marks the site today.
The Hill of Tara
A short drive from Ashbourne, the Hill of Tara was the ceremonial seat of the High Kings of Ireland and one of the country’s most important ancient sites, its earthworks including the Mound of the Hostages and the Lia Fáil, the stone said to have crowned the kings.
Ward River Valley Park
This linear park follows the Ward River through the town, giving a network of walking paths through woodland and open ground that is popular with locals and an easy way to stretch your legs without leaving Ashbourne.
The Boyne valley heritage landscape
Ashbourne’s position in south Meath puts it within reach of the wider Boyne valley, including Brú na Bóinne’s passage tombs at Newgrange and Knowth, for visitors happy to drive a bit further for one of Ireland’s major prehistoric sites.
Getting to Ashbourne
Ashbourne sits directly on the N2, the main Dublin to Derry road, putting Dublin city about thirty minutes away by car and Dublin Airport closer still. There is no rail line through the town, but regular bus services run into Dublin city centre, making it a workable base without a car for those planning to spend most of their time in the capital and using taxis or lifts for Tara and the surrounding countryside.
Booking Broadmeadow Country House direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed guest house
Broadmeadow Country House holds a 4-star guest house rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
