Beautiful split level house with large mature garden. Modern interiors full of art and creative influences. Mary loves to travel, paint, read, create and be inspired. Her daughter lives here with her partner and 6 year old granddaughter.

The third room is smaller but has a double bed. There is a double futon in another room also if extra space is needed.
There is a child's bedroom next to main bathroom with a small bed, but we have a cot also. All kids toys, highchairs, and equipment are available. The main bathroom bathroom has a large shower, the spacious ensuite has a Jacuzzi and shower, and there is a WC beside kitchen.
The open plan living dining room is where we spend most of our time. It has lovely views of the country side, flat screen tv,dvd,cable tv,L shaped leather couch, wireless music centre,and the table seats 8 comfortably.The kitchen has all mod cons.
Outside there is 1 acre of luscious garden, with many places to sit, dine and relax. The latest addition to our garden is an Artist studio, which also has a fold out double bed, kitchenette and hidden wet room, so is an extra room for a couple to stay seperate to the house. We have an outdoor pizza oven with seating to enjoy the summer evenings outdoors. Ample secure parking, trampoline and lots of space for kids to play safely. There are 3 bikes in the garage, and more available to hire locally.
“We were welcomed warmly in a very nice and bright house, filled with paintings and pieces made by Mary. The house is ideally located 30 minutes from Dublin, with many monuments and places to visit all around, and close to everything we needed. The whole family has been very careful in our house, and we keep a very good memory. We highly recommend this address. Thank you for all!”
“We loved our week in Mary's house, which was light, spacious and comfortable. It was a real pleasure to meet the family before we set off for Ireland; they are lovely, warm and engaging people. The area is rich in history and we very much enjoyed exploring the Battle of the Boyne sites, the castles and the prehistoric settlements that rival our Stonehenge. A highlight has to be Boyles of Slane, a local pub which lived up to its reputation for great lilve music and a great welcome. It was everything you want Ireland to be.”
“We've just returned from a fortnight in Mary's house in Tullyallen, near Drogheda. A lovely, spacious house with a gorgeous garden. My daughter loved playing with the toys left out for her and roaming the garden with its trampoline and swing. There's loads to do near and around Drogheda and we enjoyed exploring castles, battlefields and chambered tombs. Our house was spotless when we returned and our cats clearly cared for. I would definitely recommend this family to anyone wishing to visit this part of Ireland!”
I am an Artist and craft person, who loves to travel,read,garden, and experience different cultures. We have exchanges homes 9 times when my children were small, all of which were very successful and have given us fond memories. We have exchanged twice through this website and both were very enjoyable and successful.
My daughter, Deirdre works in Costume for film, and her partner, Des works in IT. Their children are Jack, who is 23 , Robin 11, and Isla 2.5.
We are beside the famous King William's glen where the Battle of the Boyne took place, World Heritage prehistoric chambers of Newgrange. The Monasterboice High Crosses, and the Medieval Walled town of Drogheda. Slane Castle and The Hill of Slane are 10 mins drive. There's so much to see and do- Dublin is 40 mins,(Airport 30 mins.) Carlingford Lough (Horse riding, mountain climbing, sailing, adventure sports) 30 mins, Water park 15 mins, beach and fishing harbour 20 mins, and all village amenities 2 min walk. Walking trails all nearby. The area is steeped in culture and history and food lovers will not be disappointed, with award winning restaurants located nearby especially for seafood. Local pubs hold traditional music evenings, and no stay in Ireland is complete without a pint of Guinness!
