My mum and I stayed at The Granary for two nights. We’ve been to Ireland a lot over the years, always staying with my grandparents in Wexford. We both love visiting Ireland, but now my grandparents have passed we took the opportunity to stay somewhere over than just Wexford. And what a brilliant decision it was! What can I say? Beautiful home, wonderful hosts and a fantastic location. I absolutely love the lounge - huge comfortable sofas and a piano. The gardens are immaculate and if there wasn’t so much to do in the area you could imagine yourself lounging there whiling away the hours on a sunny afternoon. The bar is something else! It feels just like being in a real Irish pub - bodhrán and all! Beds were comfy - electric blankets were a lovely touch. And if you’re anything like me you’ll be delighted to know that the bath towels provided are huge! Not like the hand towels that hotels provide you with. Little things like that topped off a wonderful stay:
The location of the house is about 30 minutes from the Red Cow Roundabout Luas stop which takes you right into the heart of Dublin. We took a day over at Newbridge to visit the Newbridge Silver Factory and the journey was about 35-40 minutes. There’s a Lidl around ten minutes from the house as well as a Tesco and a Supervalu. Despite its proximity to Dublin, the house is very peaceful. I’d say the house would be ideal for anyone visiting the local area and wanting a base close to Dublin, or given its closeness to the airport, somewhere to spend a couple of nights before leaving the beautiful Ireland.
Tess and Tilde are absolutely fantastic. I think Tess and I have discovered we’re sisters-from-another-mister! Nothing was too much trouble for them. They really do welcome you in to their home and can give you any tips you need on places to visit.
I will definitely be back with friends to make the most of the bar!
