Elaine's place is an easy 15 minute walk (1.3 km) from the Knock Shrine. There are sidewalks so the walk is safe. It is perfect if you want to stay somewhere simple, away from the busyness surrounding the Shrine. The place was simply furnished but immaculately clean. I found the setting to be very peaceful as it is surrounded by pasture land. Elaine prepared fresh scones upon my arrival and they made for a very tasty breakfast.
