GATE HOUSE
County Meath, Ireland
Accommodates 2
1 bedroom
1 bathroom
This little gate house, one of the most charming gate houses we’ve seen, is the perfect romantic get-away.  It is warm, beautifully restored and totally comfortable.

Located at the entrance gate of a large estate, the cottage is private.  The small country road is not well traveled so the traffic is not a concern.  It is very quiet here.

You enter into the slate-floored kitchen.  It has a maple counter and a sink, small refrigerator, a hob, a microwave with a grill, but no real oven.  The pine cupboards hold pretty, high quality dishes.  There is a table for food preparation and a mahogany Pembroke drop leaf dining table with two chairs.

The bedroom has white walls and green and cream colored Toile  fabric.  There is a deep window sill and other nice architectural touches.  Five Dutch engravings adorn one wall.

The marble bathroom has a shower.

The small sitting room is very stylish and cozy.  There’s a fine old table behind the gold easy chairs, a sofa facing the fireplace, wonderful art, 10 years’ worth of Country Life Magazine.  French doors lead to the private stone terrace and the shade garden.  A gravel pathway leads to the larger gardens and the “quintessential Irish rural views” of meadows and water.

The phone is connected to the main house, but the owners are very gracious about phone use.  Of course, it might be more convenient for you if you bring your mobile phone.
 

The Gate House is located at the entrance to a 100 acre estate in Fordstown on a quiet road off the N3 between Kells and Navan.  Fordstown is very small, but Navan is an exceedingly nice larger town about 15 minutes by car.  Ballinlough Castle and 9-hole golf course are a few minutes from the property.  Slane Castle is not far.

There are fine walks, fishing, ancient sites (Newgrange is about 40 minutes from the property), stately homes, horse riding.


This cottage is not suitable for a child or a baby.  We regret that pets are not allowed.

Dublin is 39 miles.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTICE:

This little cottage is an excellent choice for anyone with moderate mobility limitations.  There are no steps into the house or inside the house.  The bathroom does not have grab bars.  The doorways can accommodate a small wheelchair.
