Enchanting Country Cottage

Brian has been a delight and his home has made a bright spot for an otherwise chaotic stay in Ireland for my sister and myself! We have encountered many unexpected challenges and have had to pivot our plans repeatedly because of issues out of our control- throughout all of this Brian has been welcoming and encouraging and flexible with our stay in his beautiful home. This property is absolutely spotless, comfortable, and warm and welcoming in every way. Choose to use his home for your base to explore this countryside and the city of Dublin. All of our needs were provided above and beyond and he genuinely cared for our well being. Thank you for being our host Brian! The world could use many more with your kindness.

Wonderful Stone Building

Super quiet property with everything that one would need. It's just down the road from a lovely pub. Landlord was very responsive to requests. The door was a bit tricky, but we had the key and just needed a little love to get it open. Parking super easy. Lovely beds. Needed to hit the thermostat for central heat and heating water ahead of when we needed either, but once hot, that building maintained temperature seemingly forever (oh the joy of a stone home). Pool table for the kids along with books and games. The yard was good for playing ball. Separate rooms for the family was a life-saver. Great time!

Perfect location

We loved our stay at Brian and Deirdre's property, it's a beautifully restored outbuilding. There was fresh milk and a packet of biscuits left for us on arrival and Brian explained everything we needed to know, i.e.heating, cooker and other facilities. The property was perfectly located for us as we have family in Kildare and Dublin and the nearest pub is only a 15 minute walk away. We would highly recommend.

Lovely house in a great location

The property was spotlessly clean, very well-equipped and comfortable. We really enjoyed having the pool table! The location is great - peaceful and calm but with easy access to towns round about, and great public transport into Dublin. The property owners were communicative, friendly and very helpful. Would recommend!

Amazing Place

This is in a beautiful and quiet location. It has everything you could need for self catering. A large stunning garden area so excellent for families. Having the games room was a definite plus and my kids spent less time on their phones and more time practicing their pool & dart skills. The owner Brian was very welcoming, would definitely stay again.

Not Dublin

A very comfy, clean and well equipped cottage. The pool table added an extra dimension of competition between friends. All communication with the owner, Brian, before and during our stay was great. Location in the quiet countryside was great with easy access to motorways for trips into Dublin and south to Wicklow mountains.

Perfect base for Dublin and Wicklow

We had a wonderful stay while taking day trips to Dublin, Glendalough, and Powerscourt. Enjoyed watching the cows out our window and playing pool. You need a car but 15 min drive to train station provided easy access to Dublin Center. Ideal spot to relax and still have plenty to do. Unique cottage and perfect host.

Lovely stay in Straffan

The house was clean and warm during a cold January. It was well equipped for a family and everything was well maintained. The beds were super comfortable and the bedding immaculate. Brian and his family were lovely and he was very easy to deal with. It was a home away from home for us. I really couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend.

Magnificent Stay

Brian is a fabulous host, and the property is top-notch. When we arrived, Brian spent quite a bit of time telling us about the area and pointing out different places we should visit during our stay. The property itself was immaculate and was well-stocked with games/activities for us to do when we got back after a day out. When we come back, we really hope to stay here again! I can't recommend it enough.

Country Seeing near Dublin

We were on vacation for the first time in Ireland. It was my wife and I, our oldest son and his wife and their 2 year old son and our 2nd oldest son and his fiancee. This place was a true GEM!! It was a quiet, comfortable, country setting. The place was great, clean, well taken care of and the hosts were sooo accommodating. We traveled into Dublin Center from here and it was an easy drive. We were happy to have a quiet and safe place to unwind and rest up for our daily adventures. When it was time to leave it was only about a 30-40 minute drive to Dublin Airport.
