A true hidden gem. The Courtyard is located just outside Kells!…read more There is a beautiful garden area with flowers and plants maintained, and two wild birds roaming around too. I think there is a peacock too but haven't seen him in a while! This is a great spot for interior shopping. They have plenty of beautiful ornamental bits and soft furnishings, beautiful mirrors, clocks, lamps and so on. Also wonderful ideas for gifts here too! So much to choose from. It is on the pricey side but their products are fabulous. They have a little cafe too where you can get coffee, tea and desserts. I believe they also host craft classes here, where you can learn how to decoupage and upcycle old bits!

What a great little spot! It's like Aladdin's Cave inside, full of little trinkets for the home,…read morefrom funny little signs, to pictures, mirrors, clocks, furniture, you name it they have it. Great for little gifts too. They also stock Chalk paint, and after getting a full run down on it while I was there, I was so impressed with their knowledge and their willingness to share their knowledge, their creativity is infectious. They run courses on the chalk painting which includes all the techniques and the decoupage, I've signed up for one. It's three hours long. Not only does The Courtyard host this wonderful shop and classroom, they have delicious treats and tea and coffee available too, just so you can chill out in the peace and quite. I'm very impressed with this little find, and can not wait to go back for their classes. The staff and the owners are gorgeous, so chatty and helpful, and they are also home to rescue dogs and a peacock! A must visit!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Why don't more people from Celbridge come here?! I don't get it! Maybe…read morebecause you can't access it from the main street in your car any more?! If I still lived in Celbridge, this is definitely somewhere I'd be frequenting a lot more.. eh.. frequently..!!! Or maybe it's the lack of online presence?! I can't find anything about the cafe on the Castletown House website for example?! Why?! So here's what ye do. Go for a whopper walk up along the river, go over to the obelisk and imagine what it would have been like to have been hanging out with the Connolys and Johnathan Swifts and the likes, get a bitta wind in your hair, then get yourself over into the Courtyard Cafe in the grounds of the wonderful Castletown House, and get the warmth back in you. Get a nice sambo or hot meal and a lovingly made hot chocolate and cake to finish. You'll walk home with a spring in your step, guaranteed.

Vegetarian café with great food and ambiance (4.5/5 Green Stars)…read more We stopped here en route to Carlingford on a friend's recommendation and all three of us were very happy we did. The place is lovely - the café is filled with light and plants and the surroundings are beautiful. Mum is a picky eater but she relished the mushroom quiche and finished the entire piece even though it was huge! (Seriously - about three times the size of portions elsewhere.) My brother loved his herbed rice bowl and I liked the organic porridge with fruit and the pistachio plum cake. The only kink was that several items arrived much later than the food - the coffees, bread, and honey for my porridge (I had already finished my porridge by then). The store is filled with great stuff - fresh fruit and veg, and a good selection of some of the most ethical products. Weirdly, the Strandfield website contains no info other than an address, so you have to rely on reviews to get info in advance. The lunch menu is mostly comprised of sourdough pizza, salads (including a quinoa bowl and herbed rice bowl), and sandwiches - see menu photo. There are also lots of bakery items, including freshly baked scones, cakes and wheaten bread (which was really good - I bought one to take home). I'm giving Strandfield café 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: · I didn't actually notice at the time but the menu is 100% vegetarian! · Strandfield uses free range eggs from their own farm. · My porridge was made with organic oats · Flowers and plants in the café come from Stranfield's own nursery · The grocer sources local and organic fruits and vegetables along free range eggs, and organic health foods · The store stocks a really good selection of ethical goods - I could do most of my shopping here if I lived here. · Strandfield would benefit from providing more info (on the website or menu) on ingredient sourcing.

It's a very cute cafe. Good prices, comfortable, colourful (haha), very good and quick service. I…read moresuggest you stop in this place and enjoy! And relax... The food is beautiful. They also sell loads of other stuff like whole cakes, jams, honey, etc. This place is quite popular. And the funny thing was I felt people were dressing with the same colours of the shop hahaha... Kids seem to love it.
