We had a most enjoyable and comfortable stay at Brian's cottage; although we never actually met Brian in person, he was helpful and communicative, and pretty much immediately responded to any question we had. The house is large and comfortable, with all the conveniences anyone could expect. Aside from one minor hiccup with the heating (which Brian was on to immediately and had resolved within 24 hours) everything else went according to plan. I would recommend Brian's house to anyone, lots of space, beautiful surroundings, and well positioned for exploring both Dublin and Wicklow. The welcome basket was a nice touch :)
