I loved staying at Mary’s beautiful house. It felt like being in a Jane Austen novel (wrong location, but roughly the right time period). She is a very gracious host and provides self-serve breakfast of cereal and toast on lovely tableware in the dining room. WiFi is fast in this room but doesn’t quite reach the bedroom. The bathroom, one floor up from the bedroom, is also lovely, with a big clawfoot tub.
It’s a 5 minute walk from the door to a bus stop that can take you directly to downtown Dublin or the airport, or to the coastal town of Balbriggan in the other direction. This is a short walk with sidewalks but might be harder to do with luggage, especially uphill to the house. Mary also offers rides to the airport for €30 if you prefer not to take the bus.
