Happened upon this amazing place by chance due to finding ourselves in Athlone unexpectedly late one night with our dog (long story) in need of a place to stay. Garret and Neassa's new place popped up fairly nearby and was pet friendly. You definitely need Google maps to find it at midnight on tiny back roads so unlike us make sure your phone is charged.....but when we finally got there what a place. The owners are a really interesting and hard working young couple who are mid renovations of their family's home. They've done a ton of work during Covid lockdown having just moved back here from the US. The main house is really comfortable and in a gorgeous rural location. The older reviews on here are for the house pre renovation so can be forgotten about we reckon. Things are definitely still work in progress around the outside of the house (and a few minor bits inside) but the price reflects that. We found it amazing value...such warm hospitality and great conversation. This couple have an amazing business opportunity on their hands here and they know it.....weddings, retreats, watersports, horse riding, camping, glamping ...you name it this place could facilitate it...and will I'm sure in future. Book it now whilst it's cheap and help them on their way. You won't regret it.
