My stay with Solveiga was simply outstanding! She is a great, caring and professional hostess who goes above and beyond to ensure that her guests are as comfortable as can be!
The room was exactly as pictured and advertised. Solveiga offered great advice on where to go touring in order to see the best of Ireland. She provided detailed directions and options ensuring that I had various ideas on what to do while exploring.
Her husband Conor is also a very quiet, welcoming and charming fella. Solveiga surprised me with a WONDERFUL cake and some wine on my birthday which was just amazing and so overwhelming as I had traveled alone and that day had been super rainy and cold. She turned an otherwise horrible day into a great one, I could not express how touching that was for me. Thank you ever so much Solveiga and Conor!!
The crown jewel of my visit was when Solveiga took me up to the Dublin mountains which are a skip and a hop outside her home. This, out of all the tours I did of Ireland, was by far the best experience. She took me to various lookout spots where I could take loads of pictures of the stunning landscape and sheep! Then we went to an old German burial site from WW1 and WW2, and hiked up to the top where there stands an ol abandoned building called Hellfire house, you could feel the ghosts of centuries past. The view from the top provided the best skyline of Dublin and al the surrounding flora and fauna. I even got to eat some wild blackberries that grow in abundance up the mountains! Yum!
Overall Solveiga provided the best possible experience for my Ireland vacation stay and I would 1000% stay here again if I ever come back to Dublin. Her wonderful pet, Bernina was amazing as well and very mannered, not to mention the daily visits from Chester the hungry tabby who just lives being fed by Solveiga!!
If you want to experience something away from the hustle and bustle of the city, then Solveiga's place it is while in Dublin, do not walk but run and book your stay, you will NOT regret it. Go raibh maith agat Solveiga and Conor!!!
