The cottage was cute but a bit too rustic for my tastes. It provided us(family of five) a place to sleep for two nights in Dublin which was all we needed. Lizzy was very quick to respond and allowed us to drop our luggage off a bit early. The linens were very nice and comfortable. There is some road noise that can be heard as others have mentioned. The walls within are very thin as well so all sounds can be heard. The morning we left, we were greeted by the very friendly dog and his stick. Overall we enjoyed our stay
