About this cottage rental
This is the front of the coach house. Stone built, with metal diamond pane windows, original to the courtyard. The steps are leading up to a loft with an old fireplace. It’s part of a medieval complex of buildings with various additions through the centuries. The original Norman tower which is now incorporated into the Castle & is available to rent through VRBO as The Medieval Bolthole, the Castle itself, The Great Barn & the Coachhouse which is a very sweet little place and “country”!
The space
People react very warmly to it! The wooden staircase rising out of the living room is typical of this kind of old Irish country cottage. The dresser although not very old, was the main piece of furniture in an Irish Country kitchen. It had shelves, drawers and cupboards - all in one. It has excellent Wi-Fi, a kitchen, bathroom with a separate shower & a bath. Two king-size beds. Logs are supplied for heating.
Guest access
A car is required as we don’t have buses out here. There is plenty of parking as the courtyard is large.
But there is a good bus service from Navan.
Other things to note
There may be other guests staying in the Castle - or us - No loud boogieing after midnight!

Property was bigger & even lovelier than expected. The hosts were incredibly amenable. Would give 5 stars for comms whilst on site, lack of comms prior to check in is why I rated it 4/5We wanted a quaint and cosy escape and that’s what we got, it was fabulous with a wonderful French feel. Blessed by fabulous weather we were able to sit outside The owners were really great, they were there but not at all in our faces, they gave us a lovely guided tour of their other facilities too and effortlessly assisted us with anything we asked for (extra towels/toilet rolls etc) We were even gifted a bottle of wine on our last night which was a really nice touch. Although we’d booked for 4 guests(maximum allowed on the booking site) they didn’t hesitate to let us have an extra guest stayKitchen was a little mishmash, quaint & serviceable & lots of stuff provided but would be better if things matched a little better. A few more forks & an additional frying pan would be very helpful. The lounge was far far larger than anticipated, with a lovely well stocked fire which had been lit for us, two huge super comfy sofas & lovely day bed it was terrific Cleanliness in the upstairs area was a bit of a shock initially & let it down just a bit, very stained carpets, stained bed sheet in one room but it didn’t affect our stay or our comfort.We slept brilliantly, had a truly wonderful stay there & would not hesitate to book again Thank you Sue & Dave. We had a truly wonderful time

We used this as our "Home Base" for our trip and it worked out perfectly. Dave and Sue are amazing hosts and go above and beyond for their guests. We will definately be back:)

Our hosts, Sue and Dave met us as soon as we arrived. They were amazing, Dave brought wood and lit a cosy fire, Sue brought coffee and a pot of tea. What a welcome! They even gave us a private tour of their home in the castle and the outbuildings. We were given the freedom to walk anywhere in the entire estate. Help was even provided when our Sat Nav was acting up. We could have spent our whole vacation there, and were very sad when we had to leave.

Nice area. Would have been nice to know there was a wedding booked at the same time. A bit of a noisy first night.
