I was going to Skerries for the triathlon, early start at 8am so needed somewhere nice in Skerries.

Karen and Pauls place was absolutely brilliant.

They are genuinely lovely people.

The accommodation is at the back and is separate to the house. That was brilliant as we could have our own space, like staying in a hotel.

The accommodation was so relaxing and the bed was so comfortable.

There is a lovely patio in the back and Karen let me leave my bike there and asked did I want to leave it under the awning which was great as my bike is more expensive than my car, and it’s only a budget bike.

They have 2 lovely dogs although you would barely know they were there they were so well behaved.

Karen offered me breakfast in the morning but I don’t eat much before events, she also offered my partner breakfast.

After the race we were having lunch in a coffee shop and they walked by and said they were making French toast and would we like some but we had ordered.

So we had left the accommodation and they were still showing generosity.

When we got back to the car which was parked outside the accommodation the battery was dead. Paul came out with jumper cables but it didn’t work.

We were calling AA and Karen&Paul invited us in for tea and cookies and let us wait in the accommodation.

We would definitely stay again, the house is in a great location and we got parking outside no problem.
