Carmel was an excellent host - great communication both before and during our stay, and she had plenty of suggestions for events to attend and places to see. The house is very centrally located in Tullamore, only a few minutes walk to shops and restaurants. It's a great base to explore the wider areas of Offaly, Westmeath and Roscommon. The house had everything we needed for self-catering purposes (including a large fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave), excellent wi-fi and many televisions!
The house backs on a beer garden of one of the local pubs - noise can be heard from the two back bedrooms (but not from the two front bedrooms), however it would only disturb a very light sleeper and didn't detract from our enjoyment of the property. We would happily return for another stay.
