Great hospitality. Ger was always so easy to get ahold of through messaging. Everything you need is very close, within walking distance. Breakfast cafe, pub, barge trip, grocery store, walking trails, and the train station is a four minute walk. Train tickets are a little pricey going into Portloaise €100 from Dublin heuston for the seven day pass. So I might recommend renting a car just to get outside of Sallins, however not at all necessary. Overall, fun and relaxing place to stay. :-)
