A really interesting places to stay in Dublin, tucked away just off a peaceful canal and overlooking a lovely garden, Once familiarised it is surprisingly easy to get into town with a short bus ride, I even walked back one evening. The accommodation is very comfortable, well designed with a particularly nice bathroom. I spent a happy evening in front of the wood burner, disinclined to go out, enjoying cooking up some eggs from Nessa's free range chickens - an experience you wouldn't get in a hotel. There's everything you could possibly need here, plus help and advice on hand from Nessa on what to do, local walks and attractions.
