Gosh what a gem this beautiful cottage is. It is perfect for long or short stay. Aine was wonderful and the welcome note and chocolate such a lovely touch. It was very easy easy getting the keys. The cottage was neat and tidy and had absolutely everything we needed. Wifi was spot on. We loved the area and thought it was very central yet quiet enough. A safe, residential area. We had lovely weather and had door and windows open and had a 4 year old Captain America pop his head around the door and have a quick chat. I am a sucker for Captain America 😉. We are runners and ran in different parks every day. There is a Centra, a lovely butcher (fresh local produce and delicious breads), a cupcake/sweet bakery and lovely pizza place no more than a 100m away. A Tesco express about 400m in the opposite direction. A bus stop also less than a 100m away and a Luas station about 200m away. If you are looking for more substantial shopping there is a Dunnes 1km away. Lovely easy walk. We are walkers so only on the odd occasion used the Luas. A walk to Temple and Jervis took about 20-25min. We walked to all the museums and Jamesons . Guinness was less than 10 minute walk. The cottage is beautifully furnished, stocked with everything we needed ( I cooked most nights) and loved that there were things like foil, baking paper etc. The cupboard has spices, salt, olive oil, balsalmic vinegar and cereals. Loads of brochures and take out menus. Full range of tv channels. Fully stocked cleaning materials and washing detergents. We loved our time in Dublin and the cottage, Aines friendliness and the area played a big part in that. Thank you. Should we be lucky enough to be back in Dublin I would rebook the cottage in a flash.
