Highly recommend Tramcross Cottage. It was perfect for our 3+week stay in Clontarf. It's close to everything you could need, and just steps from the 130 bus to take you into Dublin and then further afield if you like. (We did a couple of day trips to Galway, and Belfast.) The cottage is well equipped so if you are like us and prefer to stay in occasionally, it's easy to cook dinner at home. If you have questions, as we did about the heating system, Maura responds right away. We had a fantastic stay in Ireland and hope to come back again!!
