The Coach House was restored in 1999. It was beautifully furnished as a 4 star traditional country style home with rustic décor and oak beams in the open plan living area.
A traditional fireplace is a welcome focus on cool evenings, with oil fired heating to give 21st century comfort. The modern fitted kitchen, cloakroom and storage room complete the area. Upstairs there are two ensuite bedrooms furnished with pine furniture and prints by famous Irish Artists of the 19th and early 20th century.
The Abbey Farm is set in the beautiful surroundings of Killeigh village, near Tullamore in County Offaly. Although the main occupation is farming 80 hectares of land with sheep, cereals and forestry are the main products.
The owners living area was converted to a private dwelling house in 1556. It was originally a Augustinian Friary and later was a Franciscan Monastery. Inhabited since the 5th century and probably much earlier, this is certainly a part of Irish history.
