Bernard is a fantastic host -- we felt very welcomed, and he was generous with local recommendations and bus routes. The house is beautiful, and the location is lovely (very close to the beach, which is a beautiful walk, especially when the tide went out!). We very much enjoyed exploring Laytown, visiting Dublin (which is about 1-1.5 hour bus ride away), and going to the Cliffs of Moher/Galway on a tour from Dublin. Everything was clean and well-organized. I would highly recommend staying in this lovely place with such a friendly host.
