We got a lovely warm welcome and felt at home right away - the cosy kitchen, the kettle on and a friendly helpful host (Barney the Spaniel made us very welcome too!)
The description was very accurate and we were very comfortable. In fact the home was better than the description because you can't capture atmosphere without being there - it was more than we expected. The house is 15 miles minutes walk from the Dart station and a 15 minute drive from the beautiful Dalkey Village with coffee shops and restaurants. It is only a 10/15 minute walk from the spectacular views over Killiney Beach and over Dalkey Island and Dublin Bay, and easy access by train south to Bray and Greystones and north to the city centre, Howth and North County Dublin. Tony and Cathy and their son Rory, not forgetting Barney, were excellent hosts. Thank you for the homemade breads, the homemade yogurt and homemade peanut butter which we had for breakfast - we learned so much! Thanks for everything. We hope to be back. Maeve and Cormac
