A closer look
A place with character.
Rossnaree sits on the headland above the Boyne looking across to Newgrange, which is about as loaded a view as Ireland offers. The house is run as a boutique property with five bedrooms decorated by the owner, an artist, and it has a character you do not get from a hotel.
Outside caterers are allowed, so the meal is your decision, and the gardens and river walks handle the rest of the day. Dublin is 40 minutes.
Before you book
Worth asking.
- Which caterers do you recommend, and is there a kitchen for them?
