This is an excellent place to stay for families. Plenty of things to do for younger and older kids. The walk to the beach is short. We walked into Malahide almost every day. Taxis are also very easy to get and not expensive. We didn’t rent a car at all. The Taxi drivers will even take you on long trips, we went to Cliffs of Moher and Waterford, for half the cost of renting a vehicle for a day. We were a group of eight.
Use the pizza oven and back yard. It was nice to come home in the evening and relax after a long day of sightseeing. Our favorites were Gibneys in Malahide, Howth, not far from Malahide was also very cool. Eat at Wrights of Howth if you can, it’s great seafood.
Orla is very easy to get ahold of and has great tips as well. Highly recommend this house!
