We stayed here based on proximity to wedding festivities, which we were coming to Dublin to attend. The location is fantastic! Easily walkable to two DART stations to get into Dublin, lots of bus options and everything you could need to pick up (food, toiletries, etc) essentially right outside the door. We also just loved Dun Laoghaire as an area to spend time with two small children. Great playgrounds, nice areas to walk along the shore, all the sailing clubs and boats are nearby, and lots to keep them entertained without really leaving the neighborhood. We took the train into Dublin in three different days and it’s very easy and accessible. It was nice to get into the city and just as nice to return back to the peace of Dun Laoghaire at the end of the day. The accommodations were perfect. Not luxurious, but very comfortable with everything you need, including a washing machine in the kitchen (crucial with a 2-year-old), a crib (by request) and comfortable beds. Rory is incredibly responsive. We discovered the oven wasn’t working on our first night there. Rory had the heating coil out less than an hour later and returned with a new coil the next morning to fix it. He is very friendly, helpful with recommendations of places around the neighborhood and overall, a very good host!
