A Warm Welcome with Local Touches

When guests arrive at Johnsfort, they’re welcomed with more than fresh eggs from the hens and coffee. They’re stepping into a place shaped by generations of local knowledge, care, and quiet attention to detail. And one of the most-loved touches of all? The Johnsfort Guest Book.

What Is the Johnsfort Guest Book?

More than just a welcome note, this in-cottage guide is our way of sharing the Ireland we know and love. It’s filled with handpicked recommendations from our own family, places we visit, walks we enjoy, and hidden corners of the Boyne Valley we think you’ll fall in love with too.

Explore Like a Local

From Coffee to Castles

Wondering where to find the best coffee nearby? We’ve listed it. Looking for a good walk with a view or a quiet spot for a picnic? It’s in there. From local pubs with real character to historic sites off the beaten path, this book is built to help you explore like a local.

Simple and Practical Advice

We’ve kept it simple and practical, because that’s what matters when you’re settling in for a few days of rest, exploring, and slowing down. Driving times, opening hours, and thoughtful tips are included to take the stress out of planning.

A Trusted Travel Companion

Guests tell us time and again how helpful and personal it feels, like having a friend nearby who knows exactly where to go and when. And that’s exactly what we hoped it would be.

More Than a Guidebook

So while the cottages are cosy, the welcome is warm, and the fridge is stocked with a few local essentials, it’s often this little book that helps people truly feel at home and ready to discover the Ireland beyond the guidebooks.
