The location of the cottage was just super, a minutes walk to Castletown parkland; perfect green space for dog walking! We were lucky with the weather and the chalet garden was perfect to rest in. It takes about half an hour to drive into Dublin, which we had to do as we were told dogs aren't allowed on the bus, but I'd suggest taking the bus as parking in Dublin is expensive (cost us €28)!
Dee is an amazing host! So full of life and fun, and we enjoyed our interaction with her. Her two Spaniels were great too and got on famously with our three dogs.
The chalet is small, perfect for a night or two but maybe not for longer.
