Stayed for 7days at The Haven lodge with our small pooch , first impressions very welcoming and very clean and tidy with a beautiful decor lovely welcome gift on arrival, everything for self catering was there if needed,very secure garden if you have a dog , in a beautiful location with petrol station and shop if needed next door and pub just through the gate, food excellent and clean lovely walks around and not far to walk into Ashbourne , The owner is on sight if you need anything but also respected your privacy, the road is a fast flowing road with lorries can be very noisy but not all the time.Really enjoyed our stay there would have like more comfortable seats to sit on on the decking area though will stay again.

The Haven is a lovely cosy cabin, my husband myself and our littke yorkie had a lovely stay. Melanie is a lovely host. It was spotless and we were spoilt with some lovely things left for us which having travelled from Scotland, were really appreciated. The place is well equipped and in a great location. Thank you very much x
