Wonderful stay and this cottage is about as Irish an experience as you may hope for. Rush is a lovely little town to the north of Dublin. It's a suburb to be sure (don't think like in America), but with a high street, older homes and posh newer places mixed in with a wee bit of agriculture tooling about the town in tractors. Direct access to an incredible beach for walking and taking it all in. I rented a car, but took the train to the city for our day visits. This is the way to go. Understand that a thatch cottage like this is incredibly rare and absolutely made the trip for us. Thx Jennie.
