Nadia's house is a stone's throw from Newgrange, which was our destination. It's in a very rural setting, with magnificent views all round. The house itself is set back from the road. You enter via a gate, then up a gravel path--something to think about if you're traveling with a lot of luggage. We were welcome to use and explore the entire ground floor of the house; the host used a loft apartment. Ample candlelight lit the way (we arrived in the dark) and meant that we could find our way to the toilet in the middle of the night. The house is full of books, mostly, with plenty of artwork on the walls and interesting knickknacks and collectibles on every flat space--or so it seemed. Hodgepodge comes to mind as a first description, but really it is what happens after a lifetime lived doing interesting things. We could easily forgive a bit of dust here and there, and the choice of fresh bread and scones in the morning gave us a good start to what would be a long day of driving. Recommend
