DIRECTIONS
If you have a Sat Nav, then type in Rosemount Village, County Westmeath and it should bring you direct, though a number of people with Sat Navs have had a bit of difficulty as the software does not recognize the M6 motorway even though it’s been open for a few years! You could also type in Moate, County Westmeath and follow a section of the instructions below. Anyhow, the following should get you to us:
Dublin to Coolatore House/Bishopstown House
- At the M50 Roundabout (Dublin ring road) take the M4 signposted GALWAY or THE WEST
- Go through a Toll Plaza – rate is €2.90 per car
- Continue for about 30 miles or so
- Leave the N4 at Junction 11 – KINNEGAD - then merge left onto the M6 (signposted GALWAY)
- Continue forward onto the M6 passing turn-offs for Rochfortbridge, Tyrrellspass and Kilbeggan
- Take the first turn off for MOATE
- Enter the town, and at its Eastern end turn right for ROSEMOUNT at Moate Sports (opposite Moate Motors)
- Then turn right again at the Church (signposted ROSEMOUNT)
- Stay on that road for 8km heading into ROSEMOUNT - do not turn off into the village
- Continue, veering to the left, take the first left turn, sign-posted BALLYMORE 8
- You pass a disused quarry on your right. A twisty country road follows until:
- Grouse Lodge is the next entrance on the left (Grouse Lodge is written on either side of the pillars)
- Coolatore House is on the right (Coolatore House is written on a pillar, green gates in front of you).
- Bishopstown House: Continue along road veering left at a Y junction for Killare (not Streamstown)
- Drive on for 3/4 of a mile until your reach a series of S Bends. At the last turn at the bottom of a small hill there will be a cottage with lollipop evergreen trees on the right hand side. After these is the entrance for Bishopstown. Gate may be shut.
- You will see the sign for Bishopstown House.
- Continue straight up driveway, entering Bishopstown Demense via the decorated gates to your right.
