The Nook is a great spot, beautiful quiet setting but only a stones throw from Dublin. We stayed over Marathon weekend and 3 of us ran! The pool was perfect for prep and recovery. Dan was a great host and was on hand to solve the few minor issues we had and we were impressed with how he dealt with everything and his communication. Also our little dogs were made to feel very welcome. If we are silly enough to run the Marathon again we will be back at the Nook! Highly recommended.
