Annmarie’s place was heavenly, truly. The location is an easy 30 min train ride along the beautiful coast to Dublin. The house was an absolutely lovely mansion, with gorgeous colors and beautiful decoration. The room had a view to Annmarie’s magical price winning garden. I would so much recommend Annmarie’s place especially for garden enthusiasts. She has a large meandering garden with tree size fuchsias, flower garden, mysterious pathways and inspiring vegetable garden. She is also a wonderful cook and prepared the most delicious scones. I hope to return many times. Dalkey itself is a charming seaside village where James Joyce wrote some of his books, as well as Maeve Binchy. There is a lovely little beach for swimming and multiple great restaurants easy walk from Annmarie’s house. Thank you Annmarie for a such warm welcome to Ireland.
