The apartment itself is very nice with a spacious living area and nice balcony. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. However we were disappointed with the location as well as some misleading information that we had taken from the description and photos. Cherrywood is not what I would describe as a desirable location. It is a modern purpose built area that is still being built so there were building sites around and nothing walking distance other than a very small and very expensive Spar shop. There are no other shops or restaurants nearby. The tram into the centre of Dublin is great however this took around 40 minutes each way. If you wanted to get to anywhere else it would be best if you had a car (which we did not have).
We thought that there were 3 bedrooms plus the study area from the way it was described, however the study/desk is in fact in the third bedroom. One of the amenities described when we booked was ‘public or shared beach access’. When we arrived it became clear that we were not near a beach at all. We did message Catherine about this and she did take it down during our stay as a listed amenity. What we also did not realise when we booked was that the swimming pool is only open in the evenings during the week and opens at midday on a Saturday (despite saying 9am on maps). As we were staying with young children and only during the week this meant that we could not use it, which was doubling disappointing after discovering we were also not near a beach. The pool is also located in a different building on the other side of the complex which was not clear, and we realised it was closed for maintenance anyway.
I hope to make these points clear for anyone who wants to book in case you had assumed like I did, any differently. Hopefully you will have a more positive stay being fully informed on these aspects.
