Fred’s converted stone cottage was everything we were looking for in a traditional place to stay in Ireland. Fred (and his great dogs Lucy and Shep) met us upon arrival and gave us a full tour of the place. He even left us a fresh, still warm, loaf of bread and honey made from bees on his farm. He had homemade apple cider beer in the fridge. There was a map of the forest area surrounding the farm to take a walk around his beautiful property. We took a morning stroll before we left and the sheep followed us around the fence line of the pasture. The location is great as it’s near a reasonably sized Mullingar and an easy trip back to Dublin airport. I would highly recommend.
