This cottage retreat is perfect if you’re looking for a (very) quiet getaway. It’s off the beaten track, next to old Ross Castle and 5 minutes walk down to Lough Sheelin. Amenities aren’t too far away, but the beauty of this place is it’s a true taste of rural Ireland. I loved the peacefulness, and managed to explore Fore Abbey, Trim Castle and visit Clonmellon and Kells too. Lots to do, but takes a little planning. We had a couple of little hiccups, but not the owners fault and expected in a cottage of this age.
