Lovely spacious log cabin by the lake. Lots of parking great for our two dogs. Very cosy and warm. Away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin but not too far for a visit and not far from Newgrange if you are planning on going there. The lovely Jim was a great host and came and met us on arrival to give us a warm welcome. Recommended.

What a wonderful place. The cabin offers an atmospheric view of the lake. Everything is very quiet, cosy and relaxing. The cabin was secluded, so we could practise our music undisturbed. We would love to come back. Many thanks to Jim, a host who took good care of us and gave us lots of good recommendations.
