The name of the town in Irish is either Baile Bricin, meaning Town of the Small Trout, or Baile Brigin, meaning Town of the Small Hills. Balbriggan was originally a small fishing village where King William of Orange and his army set up their camp after the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. In 1920 the town was burned and looted by the 'Black and Tans' after a Royal Irish Constable was murdered during the 1916-21 War of Independence.

About Pam McMahon
My husband grew up in Balbriggan and has maintained a strong fondness for his hometown. We have visited Balbriggan many times over the last 40 years with our children, in-laws and friends.
My husband passed away in January of 2016 after a very long illness. Although he had not been able to visit his homeland for a long time, I frequently made the trip and renewed many long time friendships and recalled many wonderful times we had enjoyed together in Ireland.
Pam McMahon purchased this townhome in 1999

Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you Pam. And yes we had a very good time. The townhouse was perfect for the three of us and then my daughter joined us for the last 3 days. She liked the place very much. She said you had great taste especially since she loves the theatre and she noticed your pictures from the movies by the stairs.

Reviews
Wonderful!

Very nice town house
We - mother and two Teenagers - stayed there for our summer holidays. We enjoyed it so much! We found everything we needed to cook our meals and to feel at home. The explanation and description of the facilities were very well arranged. We found everything according to the description.
The communication with Pam via email was friendly and uncomplicated.
We would like to come back one time.
Cozy and Convenient
This two bedroom, one bathroom house is full equipped with a nice kitchen and a comfy living area. It is located in Balbriggan which is a pleasant town. The house is close to a grocery store and is located just a few steps from the train that takes you right into the heart of Dublin.
Charming home close to the beach.
Great size home, close to the rail station 10 min walk. Extremely well stocked, everything you need is in the house. It's a 5 min walk to the beach.
Very nice place
Very nice place. We stayed there for ten days over the New Year's holidays. House is great for both couples and families alike.
Location is perfect and it's very easy to get to Dublin by train or bus (35 min). Stations are less than ten minutes walk from the house. Belfast is only 2 hours away by train.
There is private parking behind the house, and if you rent a car you can visit lots of places along the coast or inland.
House is very clean and well decorated. Heating was on when we arrived (I forgot to thank Pam for that).
Kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the whole house gives you a feeling of being home away from home.
Quiet neighborhood and nice neighbors. There are a couple of good restaurants in Balbriggan and you can have a nice walk along the coast.
Booking a place has never been easier because Pam responded quickly and gave us a ton of information about town, transportation and nearby amenities . She was always available for questions during our stay.
We had a really nice vacation and were very lucky to have just one rainy day.
Very comfortable
Great and helpful neighbours as well. Nice area with lots of places to walk to.
Family Wedding
We were travelling to Ireland to attend a family wedding and this property meet our needs perfectly. The location was excellent for us as we were close to family members as well as Dublin city where the weeding took place. The townhouse was clean, fully equipped, and very comfortable. Restaurants, grocery stores, pubs, train station, & beaches were all within a few minutes walk. The neighbors were helpful as well and checked on us to ensure everything was okay during our stay. We had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend this property!
Map
Balbriggan has much to offer tourists. Safe sandy beaches, an operational harbor and lighthouse as well as the beautifully restored Ardgillan Castle set on 200 acres of rolling parklands, with access to beautiful rose and kitchen gardens. Nearby is the Balbriggan Golf Club, an 18 hole championship course with full bar and restaurant. There are also historical sites dating back from the 14th century at Balrothery, Bremore and Four Knocks. The fresh water lake at Balrothery offers great trout fishing. A tourist information office is located on Georges Square, the center of the town, which is steps from the townhome.
