Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Why don't more people from Celbridge come here?! I don't get it! Maybe…read morebecause you can't access it from the main street in your car any more?! If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

A true hidden gem. The Courtyard is located just outside Kells!…read more There is a beautiful garden area with flowers and plants maintained, and two wild birds roaming around too. I think there is a peacock too but haven't seen him in a while! This is a great spot for interior shopping. They have plenty of beautiful ornamental bits and soft furnishings, beautiful mirrors, clocks, lamps and so on. Also wonderful ideas for gifts here too! So much to choose from. It is on the pricey side but their products are fabulous. They have a little cafe too where you can get coffee, tea and desserts. I believe they also host craft classes here, where you can learn how to decoupage and upcycle old bits!

What a great little spot! It's like Aladdin's Cave inside, full of little trinkets for the home,…read morefrom funny little signs, to pictures, mirrors, clocks, furniture, you name it they have it. Great for little gifts too. They also stock Chalk paint, and after getting a full run down on it while I was there, I was so impressed with their knowledge and their willingness to share their knowledge, their creativity is infectious. They run courses on the chalk painting which includes all the techniques and the decoupage, I've signed up for one. It's three hours long. Not only does The Courtyard host this wonderful shop and classroom, they have delicious treats and tea and coffee available too, just so you can chill out in the peace and quite. I'm very impressed with this little find, and can not wait to go back for their classes. The staff and the owners are gorgeous, so chatty and helpful, and they are also home to rescue dogs and a peacock! A must visit!

It's been a while since I've been in Kells and recently this amazing little gem has popped up. From…read morethe outside it looks small, and I was concerned it wouldn't have enough seating space, but do not be fooled! There is a beautiful outdoor seating area that's been really well landscaped and put together. Lots to look at while you wait for your coffee. There is also a lovely bright converted upstairs with lots of seating and some comfortable sofas to boot. I really love the decor here. It's country style, but fresh and clean. It's a pleasure to dine here. Their menu has a really good selection of eats from sandwiches to full cooked lasagnas, you won't be left wanting. I decided to go with the Tuna Melt. Other members of my party also opted for sandwiches, the club sandwich looking particularly lovely. While I enjoyed my tuna melt, I was expecting a little better. The melt looked great on the plate (see attached picture) but looked more like mini pizzas to me. I think next time I'll be sure to ask for it as a sandwich instead. The club sandwich looked fantastic and the portions are excellent value for money. It would be a really great rival spot to the nearby Bective for evening food. I can only imagine their upstairs looking super romantic with candles and fairy lights. Why should you dine here? Support local businesses! The food is excellent value, the surroundings are wonderful and the staff are absolutely lovely. I'm looking forward to giving this place another try very very soon.

There was a smoked salmon quiche and another type of quiche also, a pasta option and sandwich options too. I went for the plain-sounding panini, not sure of what to choose. The friendly waitress offered me relish or pesto on the side, I went for relish. A taste explosion. The bread was fresh and wholesome, the salad dressing zingy and fresh, the relish spicy and warming, the combination of the food together, a tastebud treat. I didn't sample any of the amazing-smelling croissants, pain au chocolat and brownies, as it is lent (self-torture, wha?!!) so I will be going back in 45 days to sample the tasties!
