Denise's place is a perfect refuge from being among the activity of Dublin City, and it's only a short ride away by train or bus. Extremely private and quiet, the setting near the village of Clontarf allows you to spend mornings walking along the waterfront for coffee and tea, and also provides several places to have dinner or drinks at the end of the day ( we tried several and were pleased with all). There are local stores for wine and cheese, a pharmacy and many shops. The short walk to the train allows for easy travel to the city or out the coast. We visited Howth and had an absolutely wonderful time. We highly recommend Denise's place for all Dublin visitors.
