We were in transit in Dublin and had to stay for one night. We decided we wanted to see Dublin's surbubs and stay closer to the nature. Anne and Tom's place cought my sight immediately and without long thinking we booked it. The place is indeed absolutely beautiful! It was exactly what we were looking for - a quite and green place with amazing views of typical Irish scenery - meadows and hills.
From the airport we took Airlink bus 747 to the centre of Dublin, then changed to bus 44 which runs once an hour to Enniskerry, the nearest village. Then you take either a taxi or walk. We chose to save and walked. It takes around 50 mins to walk, plus the road is dangerous much of it doesn't have sidewalks.
The road to the waterfall is very picturesque! It takes about half an hour to get there by walking. Again there are no sidewalks, be very careful! The entrance to the waterfall is not free. Adults €6, kids up to 12 - $3,50. Prices should be on their website.
Both Anne and Tom are very helpful! Anne gave us a ride to the Waterfall as she wanted to make sure we get in before it is closed. Next morning Tom gave us a lift to Enniskerry village as he didn't want us to walk on it especially with a 12 yo kid. So I would advise to be very careful if you still decide to walk as the roads are narrow and as I mentioned most of the road has no sidewalks. Better take a taxi if possible!
Dear Anne and Tom, thanks again for your warmth and hospitality. Our trip was short but very adventurous and absolutely unforgettable!
