Warm, Welcoming and Well-Appointed
Mount Barker is the perfect antidote to the urban rush. Serenely set among country pastures, yet within a few minutes' drive from the historic town of Swords and the airport, the location offers the best of both worlds.
The traditional exterior leads to spacious indoor areas tastefully furnished and decorated with a cozy touch. Throughout the rooms and thoughtfully arranged communal spaces, the overall impression is of quality and taste.
Especially convenient is the self-service continental breakfast. Versatile enough to cater to every taste, and appetite, on our visit of several days we relished the array of options. This included a selection of fresh fruits, yoghurts, cereals, oats, orange juice, milk, breakfast biscuits and pastries, bread for toasting, butter, jams and marmalades, as well as fresh eggs from the venerated Mount Barker hens. These rich, amber-yolked eggs are definitely not to be missed and even worth staying an extra day for!
Our stay at Mount Barker was welcome balm for the soul. So much so that it just might be our preferred perch even when visiting Dublin next.
Highly recommended.
