Bartholomew's Loft and Marianne Cottage ...
Luxury Accommodation in Classic Surroundings

Bartholomew's Loft
Marianne Cottage

Take time out to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and unusual animals at Marianne Cottage and Bartholomew's Loft at Johnsfort. Original stone buildings from the 1700's, a limestone hearth combined with exposed steel beams and industrial chic lend to unique accommodation in the Boyne Valley and Hidden Heartlands. Comfort and style is central to what Marianne Cottage and Bartholomew's Loft affords the discerning guests who come to stay with us. We are located on a quiet farm with Highland cattle, Jacob sheep and Bantam hens, just on the edge of the rural village of Clonmellon. We are surrounded by natural beauty with lots of local attractions and just one hour from Dublin city and Dublin airport.
