Sheep farm near Dublin

marbis

Hi all,
I'm coming to Dublin with my girlfriend next june.
Probably the countryside near Dublin is not the best to find sheep farms but we would like very much to see one and have a countryside tour.
Does anyone know if there is one near Dublin?
I guess that we'll get there by car and we would like to visit the farm during the day, maybe eat there, and, if possible, to stay there or nearby for the night.
Thank you in advance

Unfortunately the sheep farm rooms on AirBnb are booked for the night I need (30june/01 july).
Does anyone have other places to suggest?
Thanks again in advance

Perhaps contact these people, they may know a suitable B&B.
