Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall at Dublin Airport, name card in hand - or at your Dublin city address if you’re heading out from there. Your flight is tracked electronically, so the timing adjusts automatically if you’re running early or late, and you get a full hour of complimentary waiting time at the airport.
The drive to Longford takes one to two hours in a Mercedes E220 Executive Class - quiet, comfortable, and spacious enough for up to 3 passengers with luggage. Both the vehicle and your driver are fully licensed and insured under the Irish Government Transport Authority.
Longford town sits at the heart of Ireland’s lakeland. The county is surrounded by Lough Ree to the east and dozens of smaller lakes in between - it’s genuinely good fishing and boating country, and far quieter than better-known spots on the Shannon. If you’re staying for any length of time, it’s worth asking locally about river cruises from Lanesborough.
Longford has a surprisingly strong literary history. Oliver Goldsmith, who wrote The Vicar of Wakefield, grew up in Pallas, County Longford. The Goldsmith Country Scenic Drive loops through the south of the county and passes through the landscapes that shaped his writing - it’s a pleasant half-day out if you have a car.
The local GAA community is central to life here. Longford GAA has punched above its weight in Gaelic football for decades, and catching a county match at Pearse Park is a very local experience - the atmosphere is warm and the football is taken seriously.
If you’re in town on a Saturday, hit the market. There’s a regular farmers’ market in Longford that’s good for local produce, baked goods, and the kind of conversation you only get in a small Irish county town. Worth an hour before you settle in for the day.
