John and his family are excellent hosts and I would recommend them to anyone. Their home's location is super central: close to Main Street and the train station, which makes walking very easy. The room was perfect, clean, and I had everything I needed. It was the perfect mix of privacy and community and it made my time in Laois all the better. Additionally, the breakfast accommodation was a huge bonus for me, as it allowed me to save money. Over all, it felt like I was at home. Further, should you need any transportation, they are extremely willing to accommodate. Generally, a great trip which gave me exactly what I needed.
