We were a family of four traveling for about a week and Barbara's cottage was perfect! The space was impeccably clean, the showers were hot and the beds were comfortable. The cottage was nicely decorated but still comfortable and Barbara made sure the kids felt welcome by providing fun toys . Kitchen was well stocked with essential cookware, plates, etc and the breakfast items were a nice bonus. Neighbors were friendly and neighborhood felt safe. We really appreciated the nearby playground and easy access to buses and Luas. I would definitely recommend this cottage to families staying in Dublin.
