Kieran is a great host - very welcoming and flexible. He allowed me to arrive early and leave late which was so helpful and also was happy to welcome my daughter as an extra guest at the last minute. He included breakfast which was a very nice touch, cereal, toast and delicious fresh pastries. He was also happy for us to use his TV as the Rugby World Cup had just started. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The location is great - just round the corner from the village shops and less than a five minute walk to the DART and then 5-6 stops into the city or 4 stops the other way to Howth village. Howth village is a lovely fishing village with a small, nice weekend market and lots of great restaurants serving delicious fresh seafood. Also from Kierans place there's a 20-30 minute walk to Bull Island - a beautiful nature reserve with a long sandy beach.
All in all a great place to stay which I highly recommend. Thank you Kieran!
