Barbara’s cottage is charming and has everything one needs to experience an enjoyable stay. The cottage is scrupulously clean and Barbara has gone out of her way to ensure one’s stay gets off to a good start. There was tea, coffee, eggs, cereal and milk provided, plus toiletries. We really appreciated this as we arrived late on our first day.
Barbara is very quick to respond to one’s questions and gives great advice. We particularly took her recommendation to enjoy fish and chips at Amores on Mountjoy Street -great quality, very good value and lovely staff. There is also a well stocked Spar supermarket on the same street - a five minute walk from the cottage.
We did not use the tram system, but the walk to O’Connell Street only took approximately 15 minutes (10 if you’re a quick walker). From there, the whole city is at your disposal. We recommend a hop on/hop off bus tour to familiarise oneself with Dublin and its attractions.
We would not hesitate to recommend Barbara’s charming Victorian cottage and hope to return in the near future.
