Castle Lodge B&B in Malahide, Ireland is a gem. Eithne and Jerry are wonderful hosts - they welcome you into their home and lives not only as friends, but you feel as if you are part of their family. They are a lovely couple - - such a sense of humor also!! Our rooms were spotless and so cozy. The food is delicious - you must try the full Irish Breakfast! The singing and whistling from the kitchen are an added bonus. :)
The location is just right - just out of the busyness of town, but just right for a short walk to town for shopping, eats, pubs and music, and of course, the train if you want to head to Dublin or another village close by to explore. Don't be shy - just ask for a recommendation for a great pub to sit and watch the game while enjoying a pint, or to take in the wonderful musicians and singers that will entertain you! (hint - Gibney's and Fowlers are 2 you must try ... thank you for the recommendations Eithne and Jerry!)
In America, we commonly say 'amazing' and 'awesome'; but in Ireland, we hear 'brilliant' so often. This is what comes to mind when thinking about Eithne and Jerry and Castle Lodge B&B ... Brilliant!!! Thank you Jerry and Eithne for everything ... especially the laughs!! We can't wait to join you again - hopefully soon. :)
