We had a fantastic stay at Toad Hall. All the pictures on line give you a very true picture of the home and the garden was beautiful for relaxing in during our stay. My grandchildren loved the house with its nooks and crannies, and were intrigued with all the different styles of furniture! Definitely some quirkiness here!! There is a good bookcase with all sorts of books to read, along with all mod cons that you need for a great self catering holiday. There is also a large selection of 'what to do in the area' pamphlets along with Carols own suggestions on line. Carol, our host, was very welcoming and stopped by to check everything was ok during our stay, as well as being here to welcome us on arrival. She is full of local knowledge and is a great communicator. We really appreciated the staples which were provided, milk, cereals, bread, juice and a lovely apple pie.
We were only here for a few days to attend a family wedding, but will definitely be back to do some more exploring of the area. Toad Hall is about 15 mins drive away from Drogheda which gives you all the facilities a town can offer. 10 mins away, just off junction 10 of the M1, is a retail park for food shopping. About 20 mins drive away is Clogherhead beach with is beautiful scenery, walks, a sandy beach and, on this visit, a very calm sea. There is 'The Beach Hut' where you can buy food and drinks with plenty of seating inside and under a covered area and on the beach. Definitely worth a visit.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to people who want to explore this part of Ireland. You will need a car to fully appreciate the area, as there is no public transport.
