Best environment, great place. We should stay in Donnybrook Manor regardless where we visit in Dublin. Super close with Tesco market, Herbert park with nice pond, and Ballsbridge. Also the village is very quiet and peaceful with nice peoples and high public security.
You can take a taxi to Grafton St. and Temple bar within 10~15 minutes from here. There are several bus stops also.
You can reach to local bistro and diner with a short walk such as takeaways, burgers, bread shops, and even restaurants and bar!
I strongly recommend to stay in Donnybrook Manor. You’ll have a wonderful days.
