What an Air bnb is meant to be!
Myself and my girlfriend stayed with Dan and Louise while we were exploring some of the midland counties. The whole set up is exactly what Air bnb is meant to be, a room in a family's house where you get to meet and chat with the owners. A fantastic experience, the whole family are absolutely lovely. Dan, Louise, their own children and their various relations are all so friendly and welcoming. The whole family were a great source of local knowledge and went out of their way to help us with anything we asked about. The room was warm and comfortable, the bed was amazing. The family's pub downstairs is great, a proper Irish country pub. A brilliant spot for a few drinks, great pints!
There was a local taxi service that Dan gave us a number for that got us to another local village for food. Dan was a great source of info on the food options in the area. The taxi service was quick and readily available so getting around the local area to get food and see the sights was very convenient. The village itself is on the Royal Canal Way and would be great spot for stopping over as part of a walking holiday.
I can honestly say that we didn't want to leave! We were even allowed to walk the family dogs along a part of the canal walk the next morning! We will definitely be bringing our friends over to Magans pub in the near future for a few drinks.
