Having the 'entire place' was perfect for my needs, better than a hotel, guest house or B&B. The place is a detached chalet in the host's back garden, in a very quiet location yet close to Portlaoise town centre. It is self-contained, with everything you need for a short stay; living room and bedroom with en-suite are a good size, plus a small kitchen area. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Laois.
