This is a perfect place to stay, the proximity to downtown Dublin can't be beat. Clontarf is a peaceful place to relax after a busy day in Dublin. The DART is about 12 minutes walk from the house but even better is the Bus #130 that picks up and drops off right on the main road about 2 minutes walk from the house. The local restaurants along the bay front were great. Fish and chips/burgers at the La Casa takeaway and pasta next door were a hit. Denise was great and very helpful, we hope to return soon.
