We were greeted by Clara the moment we arrived. She guided us through the property which was beautifully landscaped with gorgeous flowers and berry bushes. It was a little paradise! The place was spotless and bright. She was so welcoming and had milk, juice, bread, cereal, granola bars and fresh fruit to get us started on our vacation! Clara also provided many tips and brochures with information on how to get around the to the city and places we could order take out. It was so well put-together and we felt so taken care of! We did need to take a bus to downtown Dublin (not walking distance really) but the bus was close by and fast. We would recommend getting a bus card that you can load easily or a 3 day Do Dublin pass if you don't have a car rental. We never had to wait longer than 5-10 minutes for a bus. There is also a grocery store nearby which is about a 10 minute walk. If you are travelling as a group, just know that you need to go through the main bedroom from the second bedroom to access the bathroom. (the bathroom is off of the main bedroom) If this isn't an issue, you will be just fine. We loved our stay, it was quiet and clean and Clara was an amazing and truly lovely host that got back to us within minutes with any questions or concerns we had. I highly recommend The Cove!!
