About
Tom Blake House is a former school house on Bective Street, built in 1890 and reopened as a guesthouse in 2015 by David and Avril, who moved home from New York; Avril is from the area. There are five en-suite bedrooms, each named for its colour, big reception rooms with open fires that guests have the run of, and free parking with a space for every room. Breakfast is the point of staying: David trained at Ballymaloe, the sausages and puddings come from Doherty's craft butcher in Kells, and the brown bread is made with flour from Martry Mill. It is a five-minute walk from the centre. The house publishes its rates by season; in October and November 2026 midweek was €150 for two and weekends €195 a room.
