We have cosy spacious bedrooms including good wardrobe space, a comfortable large wetroom and a private lounge for you to enjoy. You can also treat yourself to tea or coffee and we are fine for you to use our kitchen also. Washing machine and tumble dryer available also. Great big garden and plenty of private parking for your car or campervan
Retired housewife, I really enjoy hosting new people and making them feel at home, away from their home. I love to cook and enjoy to make my home available to new people
Charming room in the heart of the Boyne Valley. Just a few minutes away from Ballymagarvey Village/Newgrange/Slane Castle/Emerald Park/ Fairyhouse Racecourse. Perfect for weekend getaway, business trip, staycation, local weddings , or cozy home base while exploring everything the region has to offer. Unbeatable location. Dublin airport is 25 min away, bus stop outside the gate serving Dublin City/Louth/Meath Ideal location to explore Ireland’s Ancient East . Plenty of private parking
