We stayed in the castle apartment for our first night in Ireland, and what a great introduction to a beautiful country! The space is comfortable, roomy, and full of character. And Dave made sure we knew the fascinating history. We were treated to eggs, milk, coffee, and fresh-made bread for breakfast, which we ate while wandering the gorgeous gardens. The location is certainly rural, but was great for us, as we drove there straight from the airport (an easy hop), and used it as a base to explore Newgrange and the Battle of the Boyne area. I will certainly stay there again if I'm lucky enough to be back in the area, and heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and atmospheric stay.
