    Very accommodating to any requests we had. The cottage was lovely and warm/ cosy to come home to on a cold November night. Comfortable beds & lovely hot shower, it was perfect for our group of 7 adults. There was locally sourced food items left which was also a nice touch.

    Great location near Navan quiet and close enough to shop for groceries, gas or anything else we wanted. The cottage was very comfortable and suited our family of four perfectly! Our teenage kids loved the house and we are looking forward to visit again in the future. Next time I will schedule a Spa treatment!

    Very well presented and had everything you needed and more. Unfortunately we would have given a 10 out of 10 if it wasn’t for a slight problem with 2 of the showers flooding, due to no seal on the doors. Also the hot water was hot and miss. The drinking water was non existent.

    we stayed in the Hen House and the sofa bed in the smaller bedroom does not equal a good nights sleep. So my only recommendation to the owners would be to put in a small bed.

    beautiful location and so great for travelling as a family, especially having all the amenities right there.

    The cottage was cozy and warm. The standard is very high in the furnishings etc. What was lovely was the attention to detail at Christmas - little decorations and the tree. so lovely! Paula and team took great care of us!

    The Welcome pack contained all the essential ingredients for a delicious breakfast! A lot of thought has gone into both providing information and necessities for guests to feel immediately at home. We really enjoyed watching the birds at the bird feeder and the swallows gathering for migration. The gardens were pretty and the courtyard cat was charming.

    There was no back door onto the backyard. I imagined us being able to let the kids come and go from our house but it was quite separate for young kids. I also thought the den was attached to our house so was bit disappointed in that. I was also disappointed that there was no personal greeting from the host as I’ve never not been greeted at a property at some stage of a stay away.

    Comfortable, spacious, nicely kept with character. We loved the backyard play ground. I used the gym too which was nice.

    Host pop by to say hello. We didnt meet anyone on arrival or throughout stay. It was all by email which we thought was odd given I believe the owners/hosts live right alongside. Major issue with flies in the property. The weather of course didn’t help matters but it really did bother us & kids. Trying to prep food, eat or even sit in kitchen was really unpleasant with flies. It was the major downside of our stay.

    The welcome basket was a lovely touch. We absolutely loved the facilities for the kids; trampoline, playground, treehouse... just fab especially given that the courtyard is gated so very safe. We loved the location & it suited us which was great
