Ande,

I am not familiar with Birchwood. However, many times directions don't make sense till you are there. It may be that the N11 is signposted from Castlebridge and that is where you turn. As I look at my atlas I see the two roads connected by small country roads. It seems that Birchwood is not far from the post office so if you have trouble finding it you can ask there or phone the B&B. Don't be overly worried about finding the various B&Bs. The directions usually work.

OK, here's what I found and what I THINK it means:

I forget where you are coming from, and surely, the instructions most certainly could have been better written, but the B&B is in the village of Castlebridge.  The directions involving the R741 and the N11 are to get to Castlebridge.
