A closer look
A place with character.
Glebe House is in the middle of the Boyne valley at Dowth, surrounded by some of the oldest landscape in Ireland, with Newgrange and Knowth minutes away. The estate is private and yours entirely for the day.
There are no bedrooms in the hire, so accommodation goes to Drogheda or Slane nearby, and Dublin airport is 40 minutes. Ceremonies happen on site.
