Anne was available to meet me at her lovely spacious house in the upmarket suburb of Dublin called Dalkey. I know Dalkey residents prefer to speak of it as a village and it has no shortage of restaurants and at least three pubs all serving food, Queens, Magpie and Finnegans. The house is only a short walk from the centre of Dalkey, the DART station with trains to Dublin and Bray and the Aircoach to Dublin Airport. The room was spacious, warm and comfortable and the general area quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and Anne explained I was welcome to use the tea, coffee etc facilities in the morning. I would have no hesitation in recommending it as a base for exploring South and central Dublin with easy access to the Airport.
