    We had a fabulous stay here. 2 adults 2 kids. Everything was easy to use and self explanatory. Bridget greeted us , showed us around and had left some yummy treats for our arrival which was great when we got settled to have a cuppa. Ample space and storage for all your things. Well equipped kitchen everything you need and more. The area was lovely and quiet and peaceful just what you need to unwind. We had organised our stay because it was a short distance to Emerald Park and we managed a few day trips out and we enjoyed coming back to relax after a day out. We would definitely rebook in the future if we were heading back in that direction!

    The shower is pretty small, and super slippery. For a 5 day visit, I expected more than one towel per person. Although the washer was great, with only an outdoor line for drying clothes, we had to get creative, but it worked.

    The kitchen had everything you need, including fresh baked treats! The clothes washer was great. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was certainly adequate.

    Lovely apartment, one of the best I have stayed in and I’ve stayed in quite a few. Facilities are great, there is nothing not to like. Set in a quiet rural location yet only about a few miles from Ashbourne. Would definitely stay again.

    It was clean, comfortable and private with a lovely garden to sit out in. Generous array of food as a welcome pack, including delicious homemade soda bread, scones, jam and marmalade. Bridget also kindly left us a loaf midweek when we told her how much we enjoyed it. Hosts were attentive but not intrusive. The apartment was the perfect base for our needs and we would not hesitate to recommend it and intend to book again when we next return to Ireland.

    The road leading to the property was narrow and bendy and it was a bit tricky to find even with GPS co-ordinates. Wifi was not always a strong signal.

    Beautiful! Bridget was an amazing host, so helpful and friendly. She was extremely helpful with some questions we had even before we arrived and had some homemade bread and sweets for us when we got there. The rooms were of a good size and were very clean and comfortable. Lovely quiet country location with a fully stocked kitchen. Grocery store and other shops were fairly close by.

    Bridget our host was waiting for us when we arrived. She provided freshly baked bread and scones, along with butter, milk, and free range eggs, all of which were gladly received. It's a quiet, rural location, but only minutes from Ashbourne and the motorway into Dublin. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean, and we really enjoyed our stay.
