A 17th-century farmhouse retreat in the heart of County Laois, where the Irish Midlands open out into gardens, quiet, and space to gather.

Just an hour from Dublin and 45 minutes from Kilkenny, we're easy to reach from anywhere in the country, yet far enough from the noise to feel like a proper escape.

When your guests call it “Henfest,” you know you’ve done something right. 🥁✨ A huge thank you to Pamela for this beautiful review — it genuinely made our day. 💜 Nothing beats hearing how much a celebration meant to the people who were here. This one had it all — the barn, the space, a drummer, and a festival theme that turned a hen into something unforgettable. Peaceful spot, friendly faces, and room to make the day completely your own. That’s the Fitz of Inch way. Planning a hen, a big birthday, or a celebration that deserves somewhere special? Let’s make it yours. 👇 What would YOUR theme be?

Our Sustainability
Powered by the sun
We run on solar power and have moved our heating from oil to electric. It cuts our carbon footprint and brings us closer to the greener operation we're working towards.
Less paper, full stop
Guidebooks, leaflets and invoices are digital wherever we can manage it, and we reuse paper in the office. Anything we do print goes on recycled paper and card.
We check ourselves every year
Our Environmental Action Plan sets targets and we review progress against it annually. If you spot something we could do better, tell us.
Explore rural Ireland
The local guidebook has maps, and nature books to get you started. We work with local eco-tourism providers so there's always something worth walking to.
Reduce, reuse, repair
Three words that decide most of what we buy, keep and throw away. In practice it means repairing first, reusing second, and replacing only as a last resort.
