The BEST place to ride out a pandemic lockdown! We've had the pleasure of living in Martello Cottage since early January and have stayed longer than planned. The location cannot be better. You are around the corner from the sea, within a 30-45-minute walk of several harbors, beaches, and forested trail runs through parkland. Plenty of grocery stores and take-away to choose from within an easy walk, too, so if you are here for months when everything else is closed, you can still enjoy life in Sandycove.
The cottage has everything you need; we've been more than comfortable. Anything else we decided we needed, we could easily find very close by, or we'd just ask Ian if he has some advice. If you find yourself unexpectedly working from home or if your kids join you from college to 'distance-learn,' there are ample places to comfortably work from within the unit.
The kitchen is well equipped and well designed. Super handy to have the Washer/dryer in the unit, too.
Monica and Ian are super responsive and very friendly/easy to work with. We all look forward to returning to Martello Cottage someday. I can't wait to see how lively this area would be in a 'normal' spring and summer!
