My daughter and I stayed here two nights on our visit to Ireland. The owner, Daphne, was great at communication prior and understanding when we were 3 hours later than our arrival time because we missed our train stop. Our room was clean and spacious. There was a cozy den downstairs with books and a fireplace that you could relax in. We were disappointed that the fire wasn't going when we arrived because we were so cold but it was going the next night and we hung out there a bit before dinner. Breakfast was delicious and because we had to catch the train early our last day Daphne kindly made us to go bags of breakfast, extra tricky because I am gluten free and my daughter is vegetarian. Rathdrum is tiny but Stiraboutlane is within walking distance of a grocery, a few restaurants, the train station and Avondale. read more
