From €513 per person
Your chauffeur meets you at Dublin Airport arrivals or at your Dublin City location, sorts the luggage, and takes you straight to Gloster House in Offaly. It’s a private transfer the whole way - no shared coaches and no unscheduled stops. You get your own vehicle and can settle in from the moment you’re picked up.
If you need the return trip covered too, you can book it separately for your departure date. Just pass on your pick-up location and time when you make that booking and the operator will take it from there.
Gloster House sits in one of the quieter corners of the Irish Midlands, which is exactly the point. Offaly tends to fly under the radar compared to Cork or Galway, but the county has a particular character - wide skies, slow rivers, and a pace that takes a little getting used to if you’re arriving from a busy city. Give it a day and you’ll understand the appeal.
The drive from Dublin to Offaly takes you out through the Midlands on the M6 and M7 corridor. Once you clear the suburbs, the landscape opens up into the bogland and farmland that defines this part of the country. It’s not dramatic scenery, but it’s distinctly Irish in a way that the more tourist-heavy routes can obscure.
Birr is the natural base town for exploring this part of Offaly. It’s a handsome Georgian town with an impressive castle and demesne that’s well worth a few hours. If you arrive with time before dinner, the walk around Birr Castle’s grounds gives you a good feel for why this area has its loyal visitors.
The journey runs at around three hours depending on traffic leaving Dublin. Morning airport arrivals that beat the city’s rush hour tend to flow well. If you’re landing mid-morning on a weekday, allow a little extra time through the city before things open up on the motorway.
