Garra Road is a convenient location to visit the many places of historical significance in the area. It was also nice to enjoy walks along the nearby beaches, although a car is necessary, as the road outside the cottage has no footpath and is quite busy during the day - very quiet after hours. It is only a minute’s drive to the nearby Centro/Texaco for convenient shopping. The beaches and walks are just a little further along.
Killian’s cottage was very clean and well designed - all on one level and compact. Plenty of hot water and good central heating provided.
We were disappointed to find that there was no free to air TV, even though the instructions clearly explained how to access TV channels. Free to air TV is a great way of learning about countries visited. It is also good for keeping informed in these tumultuous times. Perhaps AirBNB needs to be more vigilante in having hosts explain the lack of free to air TV. A smart TV in our home country usually means all free to air TV channels plus all the extras that a smart TV enables.
Overall, we loved our stay in Garra Road, with fields on all sides, a little out of the busy city centre. Drogheda is a fascinating place to visit, with many interesting sites, of both near history and ancient past well worth visiting.
