Get away from it all and enjoy the tranquil country surroundings of Mature gardens. Wake up to birdsongs and view of the historic and mythical hill Uisneach
The studio apartment is adjoined to our home but has its own entrance. Catstone Lodge was built in the early 19th century and has lovely high wooden beam ceilings. Explore the acre of mature gardens and paths around Catstone. Please note, Their are two large friendly dogs on the property.
Hi my name is Niamh and my partner is David. I am a special needs assistant and David is electrician. When we started looking for our forever home. We didn't want a standard house. We wanted a house with great character just like our selves. We couldn't decide where in Ireland we wanted to live... So we decided, the house we fall in love with, would be the county we would live in. That's how come a Kerry girl and a Dublin boy moved to Westmeath!
Our attentions wasn't to rent it out but we wanted people to enjoy the place as much as we do!
We our selves love travelling and meeting new people and learning about their different cultures.
