Check in was extremely easy and Katy’s directions to the cottage were superb- even our taxi driver was impressed. The cottage is exactly as pictured and Katy had left eggs, milk, sausages, and bread for us to have breakfast ready the next day. We were unlucky in that Rush/Dublin received an unseasonal amount of rain and cold while we were there which made it difficult to enjoy some of the lovely amenities Katy and the local community has to offer. The bathroom and toilet use a septic system, but it struggled a bit with the rain when it came to flushing. We weren’t bothered by it since we grew up with septic systems, but just wait a bit and try again. The local pubs are superb with all the patrons being extremely friendly and eager to help if ever you have a question. We had trouble finding the train (it appeared to be quite a hike on the other side of town) so we took the bus. **JUST A HEADS UP** buses take coins only for fare- no notes or paper money. We did not know this when we tried to get on and had to wait for the next bus to come which was going to be another hour. When we went, it was €3.60 for a single. Not sure about a return. One last thing- Katy’s sweet dog came for a visit every day and would normally spend the mornings with us. She became our regular breakfast companion and we loved her to no end! She’s extremely well behaved and such a treat to host 😉. We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend for an excellent romantic getaway- probably less ideal if you’re wanting to go to Dublin everyday to sightsee.
