I would recommend Mary's place to anyone who is seeking self-contained holiday accommodation at a budget price. This bedsit is well fitted out with a generous sized, en suite bathroom and the kitchen facilities including fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle and two ring electric hob make self-catering an easy option. Mary is generous with breakfast supplies, and there is even a tin of biccies on offer. She and Derek were the most welcoming of hosts. They never intruded on my privacy, yet were always available when I needed assistance. The accommodation is well situated with a main bus route into the city only five minutes walk away and a choice of two supermarkets within the same walking distance. I never had to ask for fresh linen or towels or toilet rolls as Mary always anticipated my needs. The space was also impeccably clean and neat.
Bray has a lot to offer the holidaymaker, being a gateway to both Wicklow and Dublin. Bray promenade offers an enjoyable stroll at all times of the day or evening and if you are a more serious walker, the coast walk from Bray head to Greystones offers spectacular views. You can choose to walk one way and catch the Dart train back. The Dart train line which runs along the coast into Dublin city and beyond is another great reason to choose Bray as a base.
