Great location, nice view. clean & spotless .We loved our stay here.
I love everything about it
Die Schlüssel waren im Schloss, alles unkompliziert nach mail-Kontakt. Die Unterkunft gehört zu einem Gastro-Pub, liegt quasi hinter dem Parkplatz. Im Grunde gute Lage mit Nähe zur Autobahn und nach Drogheda, ansonsten ist da nicht au0er der Pub, der einige Tage geschlossen ist, und die Straße mit viel Verkehr. Sehr gute Ausstattung mit allem, was nötig ist in der Küche. Bad und Schlafzimmer sehr gut, dazu komfortable Sitzecke
Der Straßenlärm war schon etwas störend.
Beautiful little lodge, major bonus being dog friendly, everything you could possibly need. Short walk to shop, very friendly staff and pub next door to cabin
Cute, comfortable and clean. Only 1/2 hour to Dublin airport.
Great location / excellent value for money / compact with everything you could need! The bed was very comfortable/ bathroom ideal too! Would definitely stay again!
While the Wifi was good, the tv was not working so couldn’t access own streaming services.
It was spotless and spacious and all the staff were welcoming and friendly.

Absolutely amazing value for money, comfortable clean

Da wir spät am Abend mit der Fähre in Dublin angekommen sind und mit unserem Hund gereist sind, war diese Unterkunft für uns die perfekte Wahl. Sie liegt ruhig, etwa 35 Minuten vom Fährhafen entfernt, und war ein idealer Zwischenstopp für unsere Weiterreise nach Nordirland. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und ließ sogar das Licht für uns an, damit wir die Unterkunft problemlos finden konnten. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war ausgezeichnet und die große Wiese direkt vor der Unterkunft war für unseren Hund ein großes Plus. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten.
Quiet location with good views.
This was very convenient for our needs for a family party. Because they are dog friendly it meant we were able to attend. Dog owners who need to bring their pets with them will understand how difficult it can be to find suitable accommodation. The accommodation itself was ideal, clean, very comfortable bed (big tick), great bathroom, plenty of storage space, great outside grass area literally outside the front for our dog, great pub/food a few steps away on our doorstep with catering for inside or out.
There was nothing to dislike. This was suitable for an overnight stay which was what we needed on this occasion or for longer as a great base.
No breakfast
Komfortable relativ neue Lodges, sehr praktisch eingerichtet. Für alle, die sich selbst versorgen wollen.
Nice furniture. Equipped kitchen. Cosy place.
The shower was either too hot or too cold, a bit hard to find the right balance.
The views where amazing very quite. Apartment as a whole was very clean and warm and comfortable.
. Bar stool and table not in a great position as did hit my head of tv a lower table and chairs might suit space better. But saying that I would return
Nice and clean
We were without electricity for 1 or the 2 days and it was freezing cold as the heaters are electric. No reply from the owners through booking.com and no refund offered
The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant/pub had lovely staff and delicious food. The host was so welcoming and accommodating, he was prompt with answering our many questions. We were visiting for a wedding and he helped us with booking a taxi and went out of his way to be sure that we were cared for. We will definitely visit again.
Very confortable,coozy and charming place! We had a great stay. Was exactly what we were looking for.. Well located, easy to get there.
Exactly as described - suited us well with dogs.
Little cold during winter.
Very clean, nice and warm little place for a short stay.
Pod was Spotless, very well laid out and spacious.
Absolutely lovely stay! The house was spotless and very cosy. The little kitchen made everything so convenient. It was warm, comfortable, and felt just like home. The self check-in was perfect for our late arrival. 10 out of 10 — thank you for a wonderful stay!
Perfect
Nothing
Perfectly located for an early morning ferry, especially if you have a dog! The place is spotless and has everything you might need. The shower is good too. Self check-in was perfect for us as we've arrived late at night. Just wish we could stay there for longer.
Nothing.
Sehr gute Wahl für einen Übernachtungsstop vor dem Rückflug. Unterkunft groß genug um unser Gepäck nochmal zu sortieren.
The lodge was perfect. Everything you need is included. Warm, comfortable bed, peaceful, spotless clean. Beautiful green open space in front and our dog was free to roam around. Simon was most welcoming and friendly. We ate at the pub beside for dinner and breakfast. The food was delicious and the service was perfect
Nothing to dislike
Relaxing, clean, large, modern space. Friendly owners, had a nice chat on arrival. Great self catering, Netfix was a bonus.
Nothing at all
Absolutely everything!!! Amazing place to go and just away. Facilities, location and accommodation were just 5 star. Immaculate condition and everything you needed was there for you in the apartment.
Nothing.
alles wat er moest zijn was er, klein maar gezellig
alles was er
Very cool place with great amenities

Very private but friendly and everything you needed.
Didn't dislike anything.
I loved that it was all self contained so I could heat my own dinner and have my own space. Bed was really comfortable too. Nice and close to Newgrange which I wanted to visit.
I didn’t realise as I booked only that afternoon that it was self check-in and not coming from Ireland there were things I didn’t understand. I didn’t realise to lock the door you need to hold the handle up first, took a while to realise I had to flick a switch to get hot water in the kitchen and bathroom and in the morning there was no way I could get the shower to work. Pushed everything and had to give up. Think it’s maybe called immersion or something? Suggestion for non Irish stayers just to run through all that first with them so they have a nice stay as it felt a bit confusing.
Modern and spotlessly clean. Bed large and comfy. Small area for walking the dog. Two units next to each other with plenty of parking, next to the pub. Was great for a nights stopover.
The pub only does food at weekends. We drove into the village and ate at Nanny's, 5 mins down the road.
We enjoyed our breakfast..the food was perfect..Tea and Toast were delish..
We liked everything
Self contained unit with excellent facilities for self-catering needs. Modern and comfortable. Fantastic mattress and pillows, so comfortable! Less than 30min drive from Blanchardstown and much better value for more comfort than local hotels.
It was very peaceful even doh there was a pub so close it did not disturb our cosy nights in
Central location to suit our needs with a toddler and a small dog. Perfect for what we needed for an overnight stay in Duleek. We asked for a table and chairs to sit outside when the toddler was asleep and it was provided with ease. Excellent for parents of a young child. Big green to burn off extra energy before bed. We brought our own travel cot as discussed before our arrival and again was accommodated. We will be back.
The comfortable living area and bed, the sun coming in to the unit, the cleanliness. The grassy area outside was perfect for the dogs.
Could be better equipped in the kitchen. Perhaps a few things stocked for travellers like us. We didn’t bring washing up liquid for example.
Excellent location, 15 mins drive to beach…. Next door to a lovely pub with good food.

Al round nice place to stay
Beautiful lodge really clean. Perfect for a couple or on your own.Dog friendly which was fantastic for the stay. Bed was so comfortable and there was extra pillows and blanket if needed. Loved the extra little touches like the dog coasters and bear cushion. It's much bigger than you expect from the photos.
Everything was beautiful and exceeded expectations. Some small lights along the path to the lodge would be handy especially if your going back late at night.
Fully recommend
Great

Lovely space, everything needed, very cosy.
It is a nice walking distance from the Duleek Businesscenter. The apartment is quiet and cosy. It was nice, clean and has everything for a simple everyday life.

Cleanliness. Private. Pet friendly. Warm, excellent heaters.
No hot water in any of the sinks? No Water or milk in the fridge , No tea coffee provided. No information about restaurants . Food, shops in the area. Couldn't access T.V.Channels.
The host was very nice. I really appreciate this accommodation accept pets as that is very rare in Ireland. They don’t only accept one pet but two! We have a lovely weekend get away with our beloved furry pets as a whole family and don’t need leave them behind. Totally worth to come again.
Spacious.
Football playground out the front window.
Staff were so kind, Had the hearing on when I arrived. All appliances and furniture were fresh.
The lodge was clean and the silence during the night.
A bit far from the city center. It was difficult to figure out how the shower worked. There was no hairdryer, but after requesting it from the host, it was provided immediately. There was no air conditioning, and during the two sunny days, it was very hot during the day."
All amenities provided
Could've a new kettle.
Everything - excellent facilities. Very comfortable and quiet at night. High spec self contained apartment - couldn't be better.
Nothing - it was great

A little more privacy to the front
Surprisingly spacious. Very well equipped kitchen. Parking right out front. Comfy bed.
Clean and very comfortable , space outside for the dog to run around , staff very friendly and helpful
