- eleBook (6/5): Come vivere in una tipica casa irlandese! - Marie e Stephen sono molto simpatici, gentili e disponibili, la camera piccola ma accogliente e calda, la disponibilità di acqua buonissima è stata molto apprezzata, così come la possibilità di usufruire della loro cucina per farmi qualche pasto caldo in assenza di luoghi vicini dove mangiare. Mi sarebbe piaciuta maggiore pulizia nel bagno visto che è in comune.
- J E Tarrow (8/5): Affordable, spacious B&B for exploring Co. Meath - Easy to find and very spacious. Very clean and good bathroom facilities. We were there just for one night after the Boyne Valley Viking Experience which was at Slane Castle, very close and convenient. We would have liked to have used the oven or microwave as we had food from our previous B&B which was self catering. Understand the reason why not, but we booked this as it was a whole house and nowhere said we couldn't. Small thing though. The rest was good.

- Yann2711 (7/5): - Logement agréable. Il s'agit d'une grande maison partagée avec l'hôte et comprenant 3 chambres
Nous avions pris une chambre avec un lit double et un lit simple. L'espace était très bien pour nous 3.
La literie était bonne. Tout était propre.
Attention salle de bain commune et pas de petit déjeuner. Cela ne nous a pas dérangés mais il peut être utile de le savoir.
La voiture peut-être garée devant le logement.
Nous avons été accueilli par l'hôte qui a été charmant
Bon réseau wifi
- Mark (10/5): -
- Catherine (9/5): Good location & excellent value - Extremely good location (right off the N2, easy to get to from the airport, close to Newgrange), very clean, truly excellent value. This isn't a negative so much as a note to other travellers to make sure you read the description, as this is a bit more bare-bones than some other guesthouses you may be staying in. E.g., the bathroom is shared with up to six other guests, and there's no breakfast. (I gather the proprietor is quite frustrated that people don't read the description, which is extremely understandable! Read the description!)

- KIRI83 (10/5): -
- Jerzy (9/5): - Nice place..
- Sonia (8/5): Habitación agradable - La cama era muy cómoda Qué el baño estuviera fuera, y que no incluye el desayuno, pero eso ya lo ponía en el anuncio.
Hubiera estado bien incluir el desayuno porque no hay un sitio cerca para desayunar

- Lavinia (8/5): Todo bien! - Mary es una anfitriona encantadora con muchas ganas de hablar! La habitación limpia. El baño no estaba tan limpio, además creo que era compartido ya que estaba fuera de la habitación y había varias personas mas en las demás habitaciones. La presión del agua tampoco estaba fuerte lo que nos impidió poder lavarnos el pelo. Había un ruido blanco de fondo en el silencio y no pudimos dormir del todo bien. La temperatura regular también, aunque teníamos buen edredón!
- Melissa (10/5): - Lovely house in an east to find location. The hostess who answered the door was friendly and helpful. The bed was a twin bed which meant it was a bit too short for me (I'm 180cm tall).
- David (8/5): -
- DIANA (3/5): Non quello che ci aspettavamo - La posizione non distante dall’aeroporto ed il numero esiguo di ore trascorse nella struttura La casa era condivisa con altri ospiti e il proprietario, c’era soltanto un bagno in comune per un totale di 7 persone, la cucina non era utilizzabile a parte il microonde, ma la proprietaria ci ha comunque lasciato cucinare un piatto di pasta per i bambini. Inoltre ci è stato detto di fare silenzio (i bambini stavano parlando con un tono di voce normale) perché gli altri ospiti volevano dormire alle 21:00 di venerdì sera. Tutte queste condizioni non erano specificate nell’annuncio né nei messaggi inviati dal proprietario. Se ne fossimo stati a conoscenza prima non avremmo scelto questa struttura.

- Cull (10/5): 5 ώρες ύπνο κύσταλαν προλάβουμε το αεροδρόμιο - Η τοποθεσία ς ήταν το καλύτερο μέρος που μπορούσες να μείνεις για να φτάσεις στο αεροδρόμιο 6:00 που πετούσαμε εμείς Δεν υπήρχε κλειδί στην πόρτα στο δωμάτιο που κοιμόμασταν και αναγκαστικά βάλαμε τις βαλίτσες πίσω από την πόρτα
- Colleen (10/5): The perfect place to stay in the countryside- quiet, cozy, and warm in all the best ways. - Marie was such an excellent hostess! She thought of everything in our rooms and was so kind and accommodating.

- Vasyl (10/5): Couldn't be better - We loved the house, the place is gorgeous and easy to find. The room was beautifully decorated, perfectly clean and equipped with all the amenities we could wish for. The sheets and towels smelled very nice and there were even thoughtful touches like earplugs and some courtesy drinks! Our host was the most lovely lady ever, she was very nice to us in every moment, and attentive to everything we needed. We just were there for one night but we would have stayed for the whole month!
We highly recommend this place! We'll come back for sure :) Everything was perfect
- Elaine (10/5): -
- Manuel (10/5): Hébergement parfait - L'accueil chaleureux et professionnel de Mary fut très agréable à l'arrivée. Le lieu est super, bien placé pour accéder à Dublin et son aéroport. Parking sur place. Je recommande et je reviendrais !
- robk (7/5): Très courte halte avant notre vol retour vers Paris depuis Dublin. - Ayant un vol retour assez tôt nous avons choisi un hebergement pour une nuit à une trentaine de km de Dublin. Les prix à Dublin étant très disuasifs. Accueil sympathique. Pas de petit déjeuner.
Une seule salle d'eau pour toutes les chambres. Pas très pratique !
- Tomasz (10/5): Polecam. - Wygodne łóżko. Super stosunek jakości do ceny.
- Lorenzo (10/5): - Struttura pulita, accogliente e proprietaria molto gentile.
Non avevamo fatto caso al momento della prenotazione che non c'era il bagno privato in camera ma il bagno a comune grande e pulito.in camera erano presenti a parete le prese usb per ricarica dispositivi. Prezzo un pò troppo alto per la media in irlanda considerato che non era compresa la colazione e il bagno privato

- philippe (10/5): Étape entre l'aéroport de Dublin et Belfast parfaite - Tout ! Malgré notre anglais très limité Mary nous a accueilli comme des amis. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut dans la chambre et comme nous étions seuls on avait la salle de bain pour nous seule. Nous avons fait une étape des plus agréables, nous recommandons ! Rien
- Julia (8/5): Idéal pour une nuit à proximité de Dublin airport - Emplacement idéal pour prendre un avion tôt le matin à Dublin, très bon accueil, chambre confortable et spacieuse

- Conán (10/5): - Lovely short stay, down in Meath for a wedding. Home clean, comfortable and easy to get to. Marie was a lovely, friendly host who really made me feel at home. Very good value too. Would recommend.
- Alen (8/5): - We stayed only for one night and get what we needed. Everything went smoothly and without any complications. We get nice and clean room and some great recomedations for food. /
- Ing-Marie (10/5): -
- Lily (9/5): Great place for visiting the Ancient East of Ireland. - It was very comfortable. The host Marie was very friendly and helpful. Nice shower. Spacious room.
Close to Bru na Boinne.
- Miguel (8/5): Great location and good host - It was an easy check-in. House is nice and is well located, close to Newgrange and not far from pubs and restaurants. Room was overall comfortable and toilet had everything needed. Communication prior to arrival was excellent. I was told before arriving, so not much of a surprise but one toilet for seven people or more in total can be too much. I didn't have the chance to use it when I arrived and had to wait until after dinner... that can be a problem
- Charlene (10/5): Great property, clean and comfy - Fantastic spacious family room Nothing
- FABRIZIO (9/5): - Padrona di casa gentile e disponibile.
Bagno in comune molto pulito.
- Marietta (4/5): -
- Lucia (10/5): My stay was very short, however I had time to interact with Owners, beautiful very polite, made me feel comfortable and - Family
- Suji (9/5): -
- marie-claude (10/5): -
- Jitka (7/5): - Ideální na přespání, blízko letiště. Moc milá paní. Sdílená koupelna.
- Branislava (10/5): - Close to celtic valley Share bathroom but it is mentioned in description
- Maria (5/5): ‘Like stepping into a 1980’s B&B -minus the cooked breakfast’ - •Clean room with that unmistakable ‘budget B&B from a simpler time’ vibe
• Marie the host communicated well but clearly believes in an early to bed routine (lights out at 10pm even on a Saturday night!)
• Earplugs thoughtfully provided to drown out the nearby traffic concert.
• Great for one night stays if you are not too fussy and just need a place to sleep (or try to). • One toilet and shower shared between 7 guests - feels like a school trip flashback.
• No mirror in the room - personal grooming becomes a bit of a guessing game.
• Wardrobe was already occupied… by the owners clothes - very authentic ‘spare room at grandma’s’ feel
• No sign outside to indicate that this is a guesthouse so you may feel like you are knocking on a strangers door asking if you may stay the night
. Definitely not for night owls - arrive late and you’ll feel like you have missed curfew at boarding school
- Isabelle (10/5): - D'abord l'accueil et la gentillesse de Marie, c'est une personne charmante, souriante et qui aime parler. C'est très agréable. La propreté est remarquable et c'est à proximité de ce que nous voulions visiter. Logement charmant Rien
- Ian (10/5): Lovely lovely people -
- katie (10/5): - Very homie :) Marie was lovely and so kind to my kids
