I was greeted with the warmest of welcome and enjoyed a great nights' sleep in Valerie's beautiful and restful home located on the outskirts of Carlow town, within seconds of the M9 Dublin to Waterford motorway which makes it ideally situated for those working or visiting Carlow. The quiet location of Tudor Lodge and the surrounding green fields creates the feeling you are in the heart of the countryside and although my stay was brief, I enjoyed the experience of a mini break away from work and travel. Valerie was a generous host and provided biscuits, tea & coffee, magazines and tourist information, extra pillows and bath towels in a spacious en-suite bedroom that was both comfortable and charming. Valerie willingly offered help and information and her home is an ideal starting point for those wishing to explore a county full of heritage, stately homes and gardens and undiscovered gems and places of interest.
I look forward to revisiting Tudor Lodge in the future and highly recommend Valerie as a warm and welcoming host.
