We wanted something that was a little quieter and not in the centre of Dublin. A friend recommended Malahide, a nearby coastal village. Not only was the village lovely, but Mary's place really added to the experience. They were wonderful, accommodating hosts who answered all of our questions. The place was nice and clean and the fireplace was a nice touch. There were a couple confusing things but Mary and John were totally fine with helping us understand. We'll definitely book again if we're back in the village.
