Can't recommend this place more highly. Right from the first communication with Dee, I knew we were in safe hands. I was arranging accommodation for my mother to stay somewhere while my sister had a baby in nearby Maynooth. Dee was very helpful with every aspect of the booking, and was also very accommodating when we needed to extend the dates by a few days.
The chalet cottage is small but very cute and perfect for a couple. Although the cottage is on the owners property, it's very private and looks on to a beautiful garden and really lovely. The stay was very comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome which my mother really appreciated.
Celbridge is a lovely village town with some great restaurants (try Canteen) but the main attraction is the beautiful 550-acre Castletown House estate...just a couple of minutes walk from home. Though you can easily explore Celbridge on foot, I would recommend a car as it's much easier to explore surrounding villages and attractions to enjoy the best of Ireland.
If you're looking for a cosy private escape close to Dublin, then this is it. Dee is the perfect host and nothing is too much trouble. We all took home a lot of great memories!!
