I cannot begin to say enough good things about Jean and Sean and about Jean and Sean themselves. Our stay with them was great right from the very beginning, Jean kindly give us a discount on the room as we stayed there for over two weeks. We arrived there early in the morning from the airport without notice, and Jean gave us an incredibly warm welcome and allowed us to keep our bags in the room when she cleaned it. When the room was ready it was like staying in a five star hotel. A plate of fresh fruit was on the counter, the fridge is stocked with orange juice, bread, tea and other small food items also provided. The room itself is very beautiful with high ceilings and lots of natural sunlight, is also very spacious and more than enough room for a couple to stay in. My favourite thing about the room was the bed, it is one of the most comfortable places I've ever slept on.
For breakfast and dinner, we usually went to Johnny Fox's Pub(2 mins walk), they have a really great menu and amazingly fresh seafood, and their home-made brown bread is the delicious also. It's very cheaply priced for the high-quality food and so much better than the overpriced stuff you get in the city. One of my favourite things about this place is how respectful Jean and Sean are of their guests Never did I feel bothered during our stay and I felt like they completely respected their guest's privacy. And whenever Jean would want to check if we need anything she would just sent a message.
There is a bus stop only 2 mins away from the house which takes you to Dundrum shopping Centre with connections to the city centre. If you would like to book this room I would recommend you to rent a car as it makes it so much easier to move and not have to rely on the bus. After all this place is in the mountains and a little far from the city, but it provide you access to the beautiful Irish countryside. If you're considering to come to Ireland and would like stay somewhere away from Dublin City and experience the real Ireland and it's peaceful, quiet, small villages, I cannot recommend this place enough you will enjoy every minute of staying in Jean and Sean's home, they will give you such a warm welcome with their incredible kindness and you will only leave with great memories.
