We went to Dublin to escape very hectic working lives, and frankly Bill's cottage provided the perfect cure! So full of natural light and providing a peace and tranquillity that is hard to find, while being able to reach the city centre in such a short walk - it really gave us the best of both worlds.
Bill was really helpful - giving us some fantastic recommendations of restaurants/pubs/bars, as well as being really accommodating re check in/out times and giving us a wonderful welcome when we arrived.
I would recommend a stay in his gorgeous cottage to anyone.
