If you want a calm, peaceful and stylish place to stay,
within easy reach of the centre of Dublin then stay at Ann's. The internal layout is unusual (Ann will explain why) but it gives a wonderful feeling of space and light. Everything is spotlessly clean and there is a wide range of teas and coffees available. I felt almost guilty sticking to the same brand of tea throughout - but I compensated by drinking a lot of it!
When I'm away I miss my cats, so it was wonderful to have the fabulously named Nancy Darcy for company. I was in Dublin for work but my first meeting was mid-morning so I had a very leisurely breakfast, drinking tea in the sunshine and listening to the cat purring. The perfect way to start the day.
