We are a group of four friends who booked to stay with Sarah for a long weekend. We used Sarah's house as a base and spent the daytime in Dublin sightseeing.
We had been very impressed with the previous reviews and the fabulous pictures of the accommodation, hence why we booked the property. I had been "tasked" with finding a property and making a booking for our group and certainly felt a huge sense of responsibility. I often read very gushing reviews on places and am always still a little sceptical. I have travelled quite a lot and would say I am very hard to please when it comes to comfort / cleanliness / how well equipped and privacy of the accommodation. Sarah's place exceeded all my expectations. The layout of the property suited us perfectly. The swimming pool was wonderful; we thoroughly enjoyed our quiet morning swims. We didn't use the gym equipment/sauna or games room as we just ran out of time!
The location was ideal for us and we used the bus to hop into town as the bus service is excellent. On our first morning we had crossed wires with our taxi booking and Sarah immediately jumped in the car to drop us into town, otherwise we would have missed our Guinness tour booking.
Sarah is the most accommodating and gracious hostess I have ever met. We all immediately felt at ease and at home. We are all now hoping to take our respective families to go and stay with Sarah!
