This was our first trip to Ireland. I wanted to visit Dublin, but as we were renting a car was worried about driving in the city and finding parking. Then I found the listing for The Ram House. Just an hour south of Dublin in the beautiful countryside, this lovely place exceeded all expectations. A beautifully decorated historical location with easy parking, quick access to local villages for shopping and restaurants and easy access to a bus route that dropped us off at Trinity College after only an hour’s trip. We enjoyed and were spoiled by Sally who went above and beyond to make us welcome by providing much more than typical breakfast fare. Her advice on local restaurants and driving routes were spot on. The highlights included cooking in the well appointed kitchen and enjoying her beautiful gardens. We we’re close to hiking paths along the coast and enjoyed local historical spots. We recommend staying here for all the reasons above.
