The bedroom was clean. Beds were very comfortable. Easy check in. Bonus that there is an equipped kitchen for residents to use. There is no breakfast provided. Many booking sites have not updated that information.

It felt like going to vist your grandparents home in the country. So warm and welcoming. Beds were very comfortable, everything was clean, having the full kitchen and common area was fabulous. Got to meet our fellow guests and talked for hours in the common room. The gardens made you just breath deep and exhale a deep sigh of calm. Simple and beautiful. Our hostess Leah was kind, warm, witty and welcoming and Charlie, the outside resident cat was a wonderful bonus. He truly is a character and loves to go for walks with you. Love you Charlie. Would have been thrilled to take you home even though you truly are exactly where you're supposed to be. A wonderful stay for myself, my sister and daughter. Highly recommend this peaceful, warm, welcoming place. If you open your heart, you will leave feeling restored. Thank you Leah, Charlie and our fellow guests for a wonderful experience. ✨️
In the backyard
Charlie, and you just have to meet him.
Some of the backyard beauties.
This fabulous barn must hold some amazing stories. And the natural colors of the wood, just wow.

Charming historical guest house

Leah was a great host. She explains the history of the area with some interesting stories. The backyard garden is beautiful and she had a fire going in the fire pit to keep away any bugs. Felt right at home there and would go back when in the area.

This is a very unique spot that has a lot of history. There was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in my bedroom but it did not seem to be in other parts of the shared spaces. The host was helpful, welcoming and flexible. A great place to stay!

The stay was good, the house was clean, with nice old fashioned features. Overall experience could be great only if there were no strong cigarette smoke in our room. The smell was in pillows and and linen and even my t-shirt I slept in had for prolong period of time. I dont' know why it was like that - either the guests before us were heavy smokers or some other reason, but this fact spoiled the whole experience.

Relaxing & Appreciated Stay

Ideal for what I needed, a place to relax and sleep between hiking adventures. My room was spacious, washroom facilities were always clean and available, and the morning keurig coffee was really appreciated. It’s a great way to check out Maynooth & its hidden attractions.

The facility is a lovely old house which has been nicely appointed and decorated. The guest facilities and bedrooms are on the second floor (stair access only) and washroom facilities are nice and well equipped, but are shared so their viability is somewhat dependant on the other guests using them being reasonable and courteous. Maynooth is a small town with very limited dining facilities and not much else, but it is a beautiful area. .Guests would be well advised to bring their own food and cook in the well equipped 2nd floor kitchen and dining area. The owner is very personable and helpful.
