We spent one night here whilst we attended a conference at the Heritage Hotel in Portlaoise. The house is perfectly located just a few minutes walk from the hotel. It is in a quiet neighbourhood off the noise of the main road. John and his family made us feel very welcome, with cups of tea, offers of food and snacks for us and our little man and a breakfast in the morning. They also gave us a little mattress and extra duvet. They were very relaxed with the check-out time and told us we could stay late and give the little guy a nap before we had to head home, which we really appreciated. The room is ensuite and was clean and had the basics. It is however in need of a little TLC in terms of decor and feel. Apart from that it was great, lovely people and very accommodating of our young little family.
