We enjoyed our stay at Colm's place. It is about 40-45 minutes outside of Dublin so it is a bit of a drive to go back and forth from the city if that is what you are interested in. However, for us, after almost three weeks in Ireland we were happy to relax and have our own cozy spot, which Colm's place definitely provided. The only negative was that even with the fire it got chilly--especially waking up in the mornings after the fire went out. Other than that everything went well and we had a great time :)
