The property was in a quiet rural setting with the town of Dunboyne walking distance away. Really enjoyable and relaxing location. Note that there is a spa but no full size swimming pool on site. Dining options were very good and service was great. Looking forward to returning to this property.

Had such a fantastic stay here, after our flight was canceled and we struggled to find accommodations this place accepted us. We ended up staying here for 2 nights and it was peaceful and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The exterior of the property and the grounds were well maintained. The staff took great care of us.
