Our stay at Siobhan and Noel's home made our weekend. They are the loveliest couple who made us so welcome and cared for in every way. Their house is absolutely beautiful. The room we stayed in is spacious, light and airy and the bed is extremely comfortable. We had a private bathroom and as much privacy as we needed, but frankly our conversations with them was one of the highlights of our weekend.

There is a lively, fun, family orientated restaurant across the road with huge plates of scrummy things like steak or scampi and chips, and a great pub at the other end of their street if you feel like staying local, which we did after a late night in the centre the night before! There are buses at the end of the road taking 10 minutes to Dublin City Centre, and a cab to the centre is about 12 euros.
