This was truly a one of a kind experience! Upon arrival, my husband and I were greeted by Herbert, who was so kind. He showed us around the home and introduced us to the homeowner, John. John was equally as welcoming, as he took us on a historical journey through the home's history with a guided tour.
The house is absolutely gorgeous and authentic to the era. It was our first trip to Dublin, and I would have been happy to never have stepped foot outside of the house. It was so very comfortable.
Our hosts provided us with a lovely bottle of wine and a refrigerator full of delicious cheese, bread and butter, meat, eggs, milk and jams, etc. There was coffee and tea and lots of amenities available. The bed was so cozy. There was even a beautiful decanter of water at the bedside. The bathroom was fully updated with lots of hot water, two shower heads, and plenty of towels. The entire place was spotless as well.
There is a breathtaking view of the garden from the rear windows of the home. There is also access to the garden, which has a koi pond. I made a nice cup of coffee and enjoyed it in the garden in the morning. There is a TV, but the house had so much charm, we didn't need it! When we were checking out, we were greeted again by John, who wanted to make sure we had a nice stay and thanked us. We had the best time and will definitely visit again. The home is an absolute life's work of art and we greatly appreciated its rarity and beauty.
