The host and the location

Stayed in May 2024

Donal was super helpful and attentive. The traditional wiskey on arrival was such a lovely detail. He warned us of the room being small, but to be honest it had everything we needed. The walls were painted with celtic symbols :) Donal got us a table booked in a beautiful restaurant and gave us good advice regarding where to go and what to see. Thank you so much Donal, it was a pleasure to meet you!

Friendly helpful owner.

Stayed in February 2024

Cramped attic space, barely room to swing a cat. Photos of facilities on the site clesrly taken with wide angle lens. Banged my head off sloping roof several times. Fridge on wheels requires both hands to open. One to open the door and the other to stop the fridge from moving. Didn't like eating food in room where toilet door opens directly into eating area in room. This place probably fine for single night stays, not several as in my case., where overseas visitors may be prepared to overlook it's shortcomings given the location. No TV in room.!! Questions re facilities etc were met with a well practiced smiley reply to the effect 'just as advertised' . Given the number of previous reviews about the the place, he's had plenty of practice! Host gives impression he runs the place on his own terms! Definitely no return visit here. Not worth the money either.

Comfy bed. Friendly host

Room a touch dusty

Nice little room for a night or two with basic but satisfactory self-catering breakfast. Nice shower. Good wi-fi. Walking distance to everything: park, restaurant, grocery, pubs

The room is a bit small and you have to be careful with the ceiling especially if you are tall. There is very little natural light coming from a small window. However, the photos depicting the actual size and you know what you are booking for.

Host is exceptional, extremely kind and friendly always eager to help you carrying your bags to the room or give you advice on what to do around. There was cold breafast including milk, cereal, juice and scones. The property is good for a short stay.

The duvet in our room was massive! We found it very heavy and cumbersome to navigate in the room when it was banished from our bed!

Excellent location and warm welcome by our gracious host, Donal.

Probably best for just a one night stay . Room is very tiny and even organising breakfast was tricky in such a small space . But for one night it was great

Great location for heading to Newgrange the next morning . Host was very welcoming with our late arrival due to missing airline baggage and destressed us with a welcome whiskey

Cosy accommodation in a very quiet area On arrival there was a shot of regional whiskey served by the host. Our host explained everything in detail. The room had a window to the side and a view of the greenery. Everything you need was there. Hairdryer, shower gel, shampoo for the morning shower. Tea, coffee, juice, water and a little something for breakfast as well. We slept well and felt comfortable. We can recommend the accommodation. The nearest pub is only a few minutes walk away. Should be done. We had a lot of fun there.

Room was very small so I believe it was quite overpriced for what it was. Probably my fault for not looking at the online photos before booking.

Donal is an excellent host and welcomed me with some local whiskey.

Very nice house that’s walkable to restaurants and convenience store. Nice conversations with host. He was very welcoming. He gave us some history on the area and good info on things to see.

Bathroom was quite snug for headroom.

Friendly, helpful host. In a great location for the things we wanted to do: mainly visit Newgrange. Comfortable bed, great decor.

‘Breakfast included’ was a bit misleading which consisted of a fridge in the room with limited options. It would be more appropriate to forget about breakfast and offer room only. The room was a bit cramped.

Great location, Donal is a great host, very helpful, informative and interesting.

My husband is 6ft 2 inch so the head bight was a little snug but ok.

Great location, easy to find, clean and tidy.

We made reservation in March for mid-July through Booking.com and it showed that the room with a king size bed was available, which was what we were looking for. After I booked, I received a message from the owner warning me that the king-size bed room wasn't available and it was a mistake from Booking.com. Since it was only for 2 nights, we decided to take the room with a queen-size bed and fortunately, we enjoyed it. Also if you are looking to connect with the other guests, the setting isn't exactly the best since we are staying in our bedrooms for breakfast. It didn't bother me though.

The room was tiny but had all the comfort and necessities needed and the bed was comfy. There was a small table and 2 chairs for breakfast, a little fridge where our breakfast was stored. We stayed 2 nights, so we had a basket where we put whatever we used, and our host would replenish it. The breakfast was copious with 2 fresh large scones from the next door bakery, butter, milk, orange juice, cornflakes. there was an electric kettle to make tea or instant coffee. Our host was very friendly and helpful. He made our reservations for dinner himself to a restaurant and a pub he recommended us. He gave us good advice in general. He told us how he fixed the place himself and was happy to share his experience.

A fantastic welcome by Donal. A little local drink to say hello and a more helpful guy one could not meet. The beds and the rooms were very comfortable and all three couples were super content with our stay. The head room in one bedroom is a tiny bit restricted but it was a very trivial thing. I would recommend a stay here to my friends

Excellent room, as someone who was leaving early really appreciated being able to have a quick breakfast and coffee in the room. really convenient, very pleasant check in. great place to stay

The roof was slanted and you had to be careful not to hit your head The breakfast was cornflakes and scone

The landlord was great The bed was very comfortable Very good value for money

The sink could have been better cleaned.

We liked the tradition to get a local Whiskey at the arrival. The host Donel gave us really good information for sightseeing.

Rooms have tapered ceilings like a lot of top floors in Irish houses, so basketballers beware ;).

Terrific Host. Spotless and cosy. Donal tipped us off to Slane Abbey, just up the road with it's St Patrick connection. Plenty of room to park in the driveway or on the street. Donal is a great source of local information and happy to share it.

Nothing.

The location is amazing. Not too much around it is a small town but very quaint. The place was very nice and the host even made an appointment at a local restaurant when he knew we were coming in late. Otherwise we would not have had dinner. I highly recommend it. There is a castle right up the road.

The room is very small, also because it is directly under the roof.

A very friendly host, and a quiet location not too far from the city. Comfortable beds.
