Starting our Ireland adventure

Pat and Una Weir were attentive and gracious hosts. We arrived around 18:00(6:00 pm) after exploring the ancient New Grange/ Boyne Valley area. Even though Una was very busy welcoming diners she showed us the apartment straight away and explained how everything works. We had not made reservations for the evening meal and they were having to turn away customers Pat brought in another table and chairs.

Modern home in a quaint Irish Village

We spent our second week in Ireland in Multyfarnham, a village off the beaten tourist track but within driving distance to all the places we wanted to see, including an easy trip to Dublin for an overnight stay. Galway, Trim Castle, Slane, Lough Crew and Clomacnoise were easy day trips. We were a group of five adults and we had plenty of room in this house. The bedrooms were comfortable, the modern showers and bathrooms a pleasant surprise and the kitchen had all the features we needed. The 750 year old Franciscan Abby is within walking distance and a must-see for it's beautiful grounds and peaceful setting. Una and Pat were welcoming and helpful and staying between two pubs was definitely a highlight!
