Exclusive House Hire

Perfect for family & friends gatherings

Preston House is the perfect space to unite friends and family, and to enjoy everything the County of Laois has to offer. Located on the Main Street of the picturesque Heritage Town of Abbeyleix, our beautifully restored 200 year old Georgian House has a private courtyard and wooded garden. Boasting the home from home comforts of a fully equipped country kitchen, a drawing room, sitting room and two dining rooms, our six luxurious suites are individually decorated with a mix of contemporary and antique furnishings, providing ample space to comfortably accommodate 14 people. Our house is also dog friendly, so you are more than welcome to bring your furry friend along.

Preston House stands as a brick building draped in green ivy, featuring a bright yellow door, black wrought iron fence, and a hanging sign. Two windows overlook the entrance of this charming property.

An absolute pleasure…

We had the absolute pleasure of renting the whole of Preston House for our extended family of 13 adults and children. Our host, Ross, was amazing – responsive, knowledgeable, flexible and generous. The location was great – close to the bog walks, restaurants, supermarkets and of course great pubs ! We were also able to invite many of our local relations to join us at the house for a party that Ross helped us coordinate. Everyone was so impressed with the place and how comfortable and accommodating the house was. I would thoroughly recommend Preston House !

Perfect venue and great area to visit

We recently booked Preston House for a family celebration. We decided to eat in as we were on a one night stay. It was a perfect venue and a great town and area to visit. We enjoyed a pre dinner drink in Morrissey’s which is well worth a visit and serve a great pint of Guinness. Ross the owner of Preston House was most helpful and provided wood for the fire which added to the ambiance. I would highly recommend Preston House as a venue for small gatherings. We were a group of 6 couples. I can see us doing this again.

Seamless and memorable experience…

I held a full-day strategy session at Preston House and it was perfect, a beautiful halfway point between Dublin and Cork. Ross (the owner) and Natalia were so welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The space itself is full of character, a restored Georgian house with unique meeting rooms, fully equipped with a big screen, large meeting table and flip chart. We loved the blend of history, creativity, and practicality. It’s an ideal spot for off-sites, workshops, or meetings when you want a central location that still feels special.
