    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.

    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.

    Just back from a stay in Glebewood house with my extended family. The house is amazing, felt right at home, everything you need on your doorstep but it also felt so private and secluded. Amazing hosts, would highly recommend.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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!
