It truly is a magical and beautiful place in any season.

Pros: It’s a beautiful little cottage that takes you back in time to the old world. The tree at the back of the house was magnificent. The real stone walls of the house and cute doors and Iron work on the stairs is amazing. Also walking along the track to Newgrange was cool. The outdoor patio with a little fire pit was great in the evening. We even saw a hedgehog and 4 deer in the field across the river Boyne! Cons: We followed the heating instructions in the house manual for the bathroom shower but unfortunately it never worked properly even after resetting it. So we didn’t shower and my dear

Unique experience in the heart of the beautiful Boyne valley. Loved it.

Pros: Magical hideaway is really an experience. Stunning location, breathtaking views, history on your doorstep. Cons: Finding it is a bit tricky. Google Maos/ Waze takes you a couple of metres beyond the entrance gateway. Could be useful to point to the "red daub of paint on the gate"/ "opposite the tiger sculpture".

Beautiful setting but no shower!

Pros: The location for us was perfect, very peaceful setting and stunning views. Cons: We were not able to have a shower for a few days! Unfortunately there is no power in the shower and the water was too hot. A handyman arrived unannounced, it would have been nice to have been asked about this prior to his arrival. We loved the stay but for the stay a shower should be included as an option.

The cottage had not been cleaned after the previous occupant, when we arrived. The owner didn't get back to us till

Pros: The propert is a pleasant location Cons: When we arrived, the property had not been cleaned after the previous occupant. Bed used, dirty towels and generally unclean. We rang the owner. 4 hours later he called back to say he couldn't reach the cleaner. He said there was clean linen in the cupboard. There wasn't, only soiled pillowcases. We had to vacate the cottage for the cleaner the next day. Then a workman arrived on the last day and disconnected the water. The owner said he would give a partial refund if we didn't write a review. He disputed the sum, wanting us to cover the cleaning
