Christine was so friendly and welcoming - she had a cozy fire already lit in her lovely home when we arrived! The house was so adorable, with beautiful decor and lots of personal touches. She had stocked the kitchen with scones for the morning and much more. We felt so well looked after, especially since Christine checked in with us to make sure we were getting on ok - she gave us directions to the DART and other local recommendations for sight seeing. I would highly recommend this home as a base for exploring not only the local villages outside Dublin and the seaside, but also the city of Dublin itself.
