We had a great weekend with friends at John's. The house is even better than in the photos. The bus stop 5 minutes away takes us to the center of Dublin (1 hour) a bus line also goes to the airport. The house is quiet but in the center of Ratoath full of restaurants, nearby businesses.
We were welcomed like kings. The rooms were spacious, the bedding spotless and the cleaning as well.
I recommend this place without a second thought.Alison

John and Alice were lovely hosts and very helpful nothing was too much trouble. We were there for my daughters 18th birthday and they left us a few bottles of bubble and they even put in a balloon arch with 18th birthday balloons. Such thoughtful hosts. Highly recommend a stay in this house.Jacqueline

The place is exactly like on the photos, spotlessly clean. Everything worked as should. The house is comfortable and spacious. The host was very helpful, responsive and friendly. We had an amazing stay and highly recommend it to anyone considering it! Thank you so much.Olivia Lennon
Glebewood House completely exceeded my expectations, as did the wonderful hosts. The house is absolutely stunning and it’s clear a lot of love and effort has been put into making sure guests have a great time. We were celebrating a birthday and had a party of 16 and there was more than enough space and amenities in the house for us all. From the games room, to the home gym, to the sauna and hot tub, there really is something for everyone.
The location is really convenient too given there are bus stops that go into Dublin city centre just a 3 minute walk away. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance too.
The hosts had kindly drawn up a guide which provided detailed information about how to use each appliance in the house which was so helpful. The guide also included the locations of all the nearby shops, restaurants and takeaways, making it so easy for us to find our way around. Everything in the house was spotless.
On top of all that, the hosts also left two complimentary bottles of wine for us which was so thoughtful and generous. Overall, our stay at Glebewood House was everything I could have hoped for and more. I would highly recommend this beautiful home for your next stay.Tracey Kealey
I had the pleasure of staying in Glebewood house as a group of 22, booked in for a hen party. From our first communication John was a dream to deal with. He gave us quick replies, with lots of super info on both the house and the surrounding area. I booked the house thinking that it looked great and would be a lovely space to spend a weekend, with some great pubs and restaurants close by.
When I arrived to the house I realised that the house is actually even better in reality than the pictures show. It was warm, super spacious, extremely comfy beds and with every facility we could possibly need. John and Holly had gone above and beyond even decorating the master bedroom for the brides arrival. When the other guests arrived they all remarked at how amazing the house was and how perfect it was for a hen party. Over the course of the weekend we used every room, enjoying having to space to mix things up and have different activities in different areas. We used Ivan the bus driver recommended by John to bring us for a night out in Navan and Ivan was also perfect to deal with.
I couldn't recommend a stay in Glebewood house more, its a fabulous house to make great memories in!Bridget Bowe
Yes, we had a wonderful time. The house was unbelievable, perfect for our large group. The hot tub and sauna were a real treat and it was so handy being so close to the shops etc in Ratoath. The bedrooms were so nice and the whole house was so quiet and felt secluded! We will definitely stay again.

Just back from weekend trip to Glebewood house for my 40th birthday! The house exceeded expectations and pictures don’t do it justice. It was perfect for our weekend away and had all the amenities we needed. Jacuzzi and pool were amazing! House was spotless and well stocked with everything we needed. Great location just a short walk to shops and restaurants. We visited La Buca Italian and food was excellent and great service. John and Irene were wonderful hosts, John walked us through the house and was only a phone call away if we needed anything. They also left us 2 bottles of wine which was lovely. We hope to book again for my friends hen party and can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommended to any one for any occasion! Thanks again John and Irene

We had the most amazing weekend at Glebewood House for my sister’s hen party. The house was absolutely beautiful, spacious, spotlessly clean, and perfectly equipped for a large group. The setting was stunning, giving us the perfect place to relax, celebrate, and make wonderful memories together.
What really made our stay exceptional were the hosts, John and Irene. From the moment we booked, they were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our group. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made us feel completely at home.
I would highly recommend Glebewood House for any special occasion, family gathering, or celebration. Thank you, John and Irene, for helping make my sister’s hen party such a memorable and special weekend.Mejaoconnor
I would like to thank Glebewood house for the use of their absolutely beautiful home for the past two days for my sisters Hen party. Since the moment we arrived we had a very warm welcome from John the host that took me through the entire house showing me where everything was and how to use it all. This house had absolutely everything we needed in it to make the two days filled with fun! the hot tub was an absolute DREAM!!!! I would highly suggest this elegant stunning house for any type of event.
I will definitely be renting out Glebewood house again for my next event.
Thank very much @glebewood for making my sisters Hen a dream come true before her big day 🙌🏽🍾Lisa Branch
I honestly cannot rate this house highly enough. From the brilliant correspondence during the booking process, to the hospitality of the catering, make up and transport partners, it has exceeded expectations beginning to end. The house is truly wonderful, lots of space for large groups and immaculately clean. The beds are really comfortable and they have literally thought of everything to make it feel home from home. All of our group were blown away by the house and the beautiful town it is located in. 100% recommend and will return

Wow! We had the most incredible weekend at Glebewood House for a Hen weekend. The house is just perfect and exceeded all expectations - it is beautifully decorated, equipped with everything(!!) you could possibly think of and so spacious. It looked incredible from the photos we had seen but it was so much more amazing in person.
John & Irene were so lovely and really made us feel welcome in their home. They gave us a run through of everything we needed to know but were also really quick to answer any questions I had via WhatsApp over the weekend.
As a big group of girls it was amazing that every room had its own en-suite, plenty of towels & mirrors and there so many nice touches throughout the house like make-up wipes by each bed!
The house is in a really secure area and is so close to Dublin airport and city centre which made it really easy to get to/from.
Thank you for the most amazing weekend!!

I will definitely be back again to Gleebewood house

I couldn’t recommend Glebewood House enough 🤍 From the guided tour on arrival to the detailed house manual that answered every question, everything was so well thought out. The house was spotless, warm and fully stocked - toiletries, hangers, towels - nothing was overlooked. The owners were so friendly and helpful, and it was absolutely perfect for Rachel’s hen party of 15. Honestly couldn’t fault a single thing - such an amazing place to stay! Everyone loved it. Thank you!

We stayed at Glebewood House to celebrate a family 40th birthday, and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and instantly felt right at home. The house itself is absolutely stunning — spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything a large group could possibly need.
There was so much space for everyone to unwind, and the layout made it ideal for spending quality time together. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and every room felt cosy and luxurious. The outdoor area and games room were brilliant additions and kept everyone entertained.
The setting is private, peaceful and scenic yet still conveniently close to shops, making it the perfect base for creating birthday memories. The thoughtful touches from the hosts made the celebration feel extra special, and their hospitality was exceptional from start to finish.
We genuinely couldn’t have chosen a better place for such an important milestone. Glebewood House helped make the 40th birthday truly unforgettable, and we’re already talking about returning. Highly, highly recommended for a family or group getaway!Jessica Mulcahy
We had such a lovely stay at Glebewood House for my best friends hen weekend! From start to finish, everything was just perfect. The house was beautiful, spotless, and had everything we needed. The host was so warm and welcoming — you could really tell how much care they put into making guests feel at home. Communication with John from start to finish was so easy and he was so friendly. Our whole group felt completely comfortable and relaxed the entire time. Location is perfect and right in the middle of Ratoath where you have plenty of shops and gorgeous restaurants!
Would 100% recommend Glebewood House to anyone - we are already talking about a return stay!!Shelly Dlamini

Glebewood house absolutely exceeded our expectations. There was so much to do in the house that we didn’t want to leave it at all. The house and garden area is out of this world. Our group had a ball and we genuinely felt like we were in another country. The beds were so comfortable and the detail throughout the house made it extra special. The hosts were lovely to deal with and the entire booking and check in process was smooth and straight forward. I honestly could not recommend staying in Glebewood house enough, it was such an amazing experience and worth every cent. We will certainly be back again.

An Unforgettable Stay at Glebewood House!
We stayed at Glebewood House for two nights to celebrate our friend’s stag do with a group of 13, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The house was spacious, stylish, and had everything we needed for a memorable weekend.
There was a fantastic hot tub, a large party room where we kicked things off with a pilates class and later transformed it into a cocktail party space. The glam room made getting ready feel like a luxury experience, and the large dining room was ideal for our group meals. Every bed was incredibly comfortable, and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax and enjoy.
The location was ideal—peaceful yet just a short walk to shops and restaurants, which made things super convenient.
A huge shoutout to our host John, who was so lovely and welcoming. He honestly couldn’t do enough for us—always helpful and available if we needed anything, which made the whole experience even better.
We had the most amazing time and couldn’t have asked for a better place or host. Glebewood House was the perfect location for our celebration, and we’ll definitely be back!Marc Jones
From the 1st moment arriving to enter into the house, it was beyond our expectations, the pictures don't do this beautiful home justice.
Myself and partner and a group of friends stayed 2 nights at John & Irene's house. It was luxurious, secluded, and peaceful even though it is in the centre of town.
The hot tub was a huge attraction and because the weather was so mild, outdoors was were we all gathered most of the time.
It is an expansive house, with lots of space to gather with friends or alone with your thoughts.
The beautiful lounge with its tall ceilings and beams was just perfect for drinks and chats with a bit of singing thrown in.
The girls had a wonderful time doing each other's make up in the beauty palour, which is a huge benefit to this house.
The hosts were so accommodatingand even left us 2 bottles of welcome wine, and once they checked us in and showed us around, they left us to it, but did say they were only a stones throw away should we need them, which we didn't.
We cannot wait to go back next year, and we are already discussing dates.
Can't recommend this house enough with plenty of space for any gathering.Carla Lawless
Our group had the most incredible stay at this stunning home! With a large group, including plenty of kids, we needed space—and this house delivered in every way. The layout was perfect for entertaining, with multiple areas to gather, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.
The outdoor patio was an absolute highlight! We spent hours soaking in the hot tub and enjoying the fresh air. The expansive entertaining spaces made this large family gathering effortless.
The home itself was impeccably maintained, beautifully decorated, and stocked with all the essentials we could possibly need. The kids had plenty of room to play, and the adults loved the spacious common areas for unwinding. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
We can’t recommend this house enough—it was the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable getaway. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and provided lots of information about the house and local area. We will absolutely be back!Sandrine
A successful stay.
Very nice rental, very clean.
Owner who is attentive to the guest.
