Have stayed two years running on annual trip to see family. If history is your thing then all the messages have noted the historical items in the area. Also golf courses - you’ll need to check for access. Any amount of pubs and good restaurants in the area including the rather interesting Mrs Os in Skryne(pub). Depending on how energetic you feel and weather permitting you can walk along the Boyne river from Navan to the bridge at Stackallen (near Shane). Oscar Wilde’s father wrote a book which included notes on this walk - used it a few years ago and could still make out most of the markers. Hope this helps.

It is 10 minutes by car from Ballmagarvey by car - minimum stay is 2 nights but plenty to do in the area
