Great, hard working couple. Generous and thoughtful. Nice location within easy reach of Kells. Transport no problem. Lots of friendly animals on the farm, great produce and knowledge of herbs. Good phone signal. Well water to drink. Quiet and comfortable with turf fires and lots of country atmosphere. A great spot.

Bridgit was lovely and helpful.Tenants were friendly and great for a chat .

This is an attractive area where gently rolling hills (with tree and hedge-lined roads) meet an expanse of ancient bog land. I particularly liked the quiet (because I live in a small village) and the low level of light pollution at night. Although I didn't use the cooking facilities, the kitchen for guests to use seemed to have everything for those who did. Basics for breakfast (milk, cereal, bread and butter, fruit) were provided. Although the weather was cold (below freezing on some nights), the lounge was ultra-cosy with a log-burner fuelled with local peat (a radiator in the bedroom came on as well). The bathroom had a modern shower installed giving excellent hot water and had an effective heater unit for those cold mornings. The location offers a great base for touring (nearby are Kells, Trim Castle, the Hill of Tara, the hilltop neolithic tombs of Loughcrew and Louth historic village, as well as the Boyne Drive locations).

It is not a criticism but this accommodation is not feasible without your own transport to reach it. It has bicycles for use by guests but unfortunately my programme did not allow me to take advantage of this option.

Bridget is a lovely woman and she went above and beyond to make our welcome and stay perfect - there was a beautiful roaring fire in the woodstove in the common kitchen - I would go again any time

The clear directions received in advance made it easy and simple to get to the property. Bridget and Des were very kind. The room was clean and the bed super comfortable. The kitchen had everything you'd need for self-catering and I had what were possibly the best eggs ever for breakfast.

The room was a tad cold on arrival but warmed up with a bit of time.
