Great house set just far enough away from the main tourist area, but still an easy walk to most places of interest. Very nice, comfortable house that has had a lot of thoughtful work done to it but still just a little unfinished, but it'a such a great work in progress that we wanted for absolutely nothing. Maurice is a great host and gave us some sterling tips on eating and drinking.
The kitchen is a great focal point for a family or group of friends to plan the day ahead or review the night just had......great coffee, a great kitchen table... some great stories told and some great memories made.
Out and about we didn't go to Temple Bar once...and didn't miss it.
We did....the Guinness Tour which is well worth it, brunch at Fumbally Cafe which is great; Sunday Jazz brunch at Kilkenny Shop which is not bad; big Irish brekkie at Catherines Cafe (just round the corner) which is brilliant and the National Museum of Ireland which was amazing and free!
We drank at...Swan Bar which is great, O'Donohues which is great, Hairy Lemon which is great and the Beer Market which is great fun. There were a fair few others that don't get a mention but we didn't have a bad pint or too bad an experience...stay out of the Clock if you're of a nervous disposition.
