There aren’t many houses that make you say ‘wow’ when you walk in, but Marianne Cottage is definitely one. Stylish, spacious and comfortable; this isn’t a run of the mill place to stay. Richard and Bairbre are great hosts - from detailed directions (with useful pictures) through quick responses to any communication and fresh eggs for breakfast all the way to a great recommendation for brunch in Kells on our way back to the port. With a car, this is a great base for exploring the historic Boyne valley.
