WOW!! We have just returned from staying at Sarah's house in Dublin. A group of 7 girls stayed for two nights (three days) and Sarah's house and hospitality have made this weekend for us.
The accommodation is stunning! It's clean, decorated and furnished to a high standard, spacious and certainly feels like a home from home. It's also very peaceful so you can re charge your batteries away from the city centre. Also having access to the pool and sauna just made us feel like we were at some posh spa....even dressing gowns were provided (nice touch).
In terms of accessibility it is a bit far to walk into the city centre (although we did walk the length of Phoenix park which is absolutely stunning and literally may as well be Sarah's back garden).
Sharing a cab into town worked out cheaper as a group and Sarah helped us out with a lift a few times which was extremely kind of her.
Sarah herself made our trip. She was like our mum and really made us feel so welcome. From the moment we arrived (even before that actually) she was really friendly and helpful. We came in on an early flight and she let us check in early which was really helpful. As soon as we arrived she said we could leave our bags whilst the rooms were being cleaned and gave us a lift into town as we had booked the Guinness museum tour.
She wasn't only a host but also a tour guide and definitely set us up for the rest of the trip.
Her family are also lovely and took an interest in what we had been up to and offering suggestions of attractions and bars. Sarah's daughter suggested Sams bar which we fell in love with.
Sarah also went shopping for us as we didn't have a car! I mean this is above and beyond what you'd expect from a host. But it didn't stop there. She cooked up a big batch of the best spaghetti bolognaise we'd ever had and brought it round to our part of the house. Soooo kind!!
Sarah also let us check out late on the last day and so that we didn't have to traipse around Dublin with our suitcases all afternoon she got us to load them into her car and her husband met us at the airport in the evening just before our flight.
We would stay here again in a heart beat! Honestly if I could give ten stars for everything I would.
Thank you so much Sarah and your wonderful family. We will definitely be back!
Lots of love from Sam, Isobel, Angee, Tash, Lucy, Hollie and Clair xx
