Sean and Maura are excellent hosts ! Once we arrived at the Kilmacanogue, Sean was already there and drove us back to his house! They provided us very detail travel information such as the attractions and the information of the public transportation. Furthermore, this is our first time to try the Irish breakfast, Sean and Maura are so kind to prepare the breakfast for us and Maura is a good cook ! They have a very obedient dog, and my girlfriend loves the dog very much !

We had a wonderful time staying with Maura and Sean. They were very friendly and hospitable and we had fun chatting with them. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, they went above and beyond for us. The room was very clean and cozy, with everything we needed. The location was around 30 minutes drive from Dublin which worked well as we had a rental car. Overall a great experience!

We had a great time with Maura and Sean. Our apartment was spacious and our hosts went out of their way to help us be comfortable and to make the most of our stay. Our breakfasts were tasty and we enjoyed a chance to talk about our plans as well as get insights into this new culture. We made our first Irish friends at Wingfield Farm.

A lovely place to stay, very quiet. Maura is very welcoming and her breakfast is absolutely delicious! It was a perfect first night in Ireland.

We enjoyed out stay at Maura's farm very much. She was welcoming and even helped us out when we arrived late on the Sunday night and nowhere was open to get food. The breakfast was fantastic over which we conversed with her and her husband over all manner of local topics. Our only regret was that we did not stay longer. We could not reccomend staying with her more highly.

A wonderful place to stay! Friendly hosts and friendly dog. It does require a 15 minute walk to access the excellent public transportation to/from Dublin. But that also allows for easy travel to many scenic areas for walking and visiting. We would love to stay there again!

Maura and Sean (and Patch the dog) were very welcoming, kind and generous. We stayed with them twice and both times they provided us with a wonderful evening meal and great company. Breakfasts were delicious. They gave us really good tips on where to go and what to see and even took us on a tour of the wonderful WIcklow Hills. The room was warm, clean and very comfortable and I would thoroughly recommend staying at WIngfield Farm.

The location is perfect, set between Dublin and Wicklow attractions. They are fantastic hosts, that communicate clearly and effectively in advance how to get to, and settle into the house. Plenty of private space. An easy choice for anyone considering!

This is an amazing house! It's a beautifully designed home and a very inviting space. The house is very modern but really felt homely. Sarah was a pleasure to deal with and helped us in whatever way she could. This house is in a really nice area and is exactly as described "close to everything" . I would definitely come here again

We could not have enjoyed our stay at Sarah's more! It was such a great feeling to come back to a place that felt like home after a long day of sightseeing. Sarah's place is such a great location, right near the Luas, which took us right into the city! Sarah was in constant communication with us, which made our stay absolutely perfect - and we just loved the added touch of recommendations of Sarah's favorite places! The Cake Café - stop it right now - it was SO good!! Thank you to Sarah for all her detailed assistance and we have to thank her mom too, who helped us find transportation to our next location on our last day of our stay! Truly a treat to stay here!

Nous avons été très bien reçu par Sarah, qui avait pris le soin de nous adresser avant notre arrivée un guidebook très précieux qui nous a permis de bien gérer notre arrivée et de bien comprendre la maison. La maison est très agréable, elle a fait la joie de nos enfants adolescentes. Les photos correspondent parfaitement à la réalité et l'accès au centre de Dublin par le tramway est idéal. Néanmoins, un tout petit regret, les rideaux des chambres laissent passer la lumière et pour les adeptes de l'obscurité la nuit ce n'est pas l'idéal.

I had stayed here last summer and Sarah provided a comfortable experience again. I needed an outdoor barbecue for a small group of friends and she provided one. Many of my guests complimented the design and layout of the house as well. Recommended place!

Sarah est une hôte parfaite. Toujours la pour nous et plein de conseils. Nous avons passé un superbe séjour. L'appartement est très chaleureux et très bien agencé. Parfait pour une petite escapade à Dublin. La proximité du luas (tram) vous permet d'accéder au centre ville en 10 minutes (très pratique) et le grand centre commercial Dundrum Shopping Center vous donne accès a plein de restaurants. Appartement très bien équipé au niveau ustensile cuisine. La télé pourrait être un peu plus grande mais sarah nous a prêté son video projecteur pour une soirée cinema au chaud.

We had a lovely stay at Sarah's beautiful house, Sarah was really helpful, met us at the property and showed us round - she made us feel really welcome and even had croissants waiting for us on arrival! Dublin is a really cool city and Sarah's house is positioned perfectly for the tram line for the short journey into the center of the city (its less then a 5 minute walk to the tram station from the house) and there are lots of shops and restaurants locally too. It was really handy that Sarah recommended restaurants and points of interest for us to try during our stay. We would really love to stay again!

We are delighted with our experience in the beautiful home of Sarah. The house is located in a very quiet and very close to public transport just 13 minutes from downtown by tram street and also very well connected with the airport. The house is a beautiful example of modern architecture, design and taste. It has a magnificent use of natural light and is fully equipped, love the exquisite taste of its owner in the decoration. Sarah has made us all very easy with their indications and even presented us with a first breakfast on arrival. It's been a real pleasure and hopefully we can repeat. Certainly I recommend it as a lovely way to see Dublin.

Aucune surprise en arrivant! Les photos correspondaient parfaitement! Un vrai petit cocon!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay while visiting Dublin, Ireland. Clean, Comfortable and private. Teresa is very helpful!

Teresa's place is amazing. I've stayed for a month with my two little dogs and it was the best airbnb experience I've ever had. Teresa is a lovely person and helped me with everything that was needed. The place is amazing.

Die Unterkunft ist eine kleine Perle in mitten einer Großstadt wie Dublin. Wir wurden sehr gastfreundlich und offen empfangen und haben uns fast wie zuhause gefühlt. Uns hat es an nicht gemangelt. Wenn wir noch einmal nach Dublin reisen sollten, dann werden wir wieder dort übernachten. (The property is a small pearl in the big city Dublin . We were very hospitable and open recieved and almost felt like home . Nothing had miss to feel good. If we should go to Dublin again , then we will stay there agaion . / (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translation)

We had a fabulous week in Dublin and stayed the whole time at Teresa's place in Blackrock. Beautifully set in manicured gardens it was hard to leave each day to go and explore Dublin. It was a perfect and convenient location to base ourselves. Close to shops, transport (bus and train). We didn't meet Teresa but she was only a message away and responded immediately. We would stay here again without a question. We loved it. Thank you Teresa.

This place was small yet cozy and perfect for two people. We loved the clean and modern bathroom and reliable wifi. You have close access to a bus stop or the DART train and a couple supermarkets close by. We also liked that there was a little kitchen area with a stove, fridge, and sink so we were able to make our own meals and save money. The view out the window is beautiful and I would recommend this place to anybody, such a good value for your money! Thanks, Teresa!

The cabin was awesome! Located in a beautiful courtyard with tons of flowers. Teresa let me use her bike. Blackrock is a good place to relax and see the coast. City center is about 30 minutes by bike and by bus! Teresa was easy to contact and helped me with any question I had.

Teresa was very friendly and accommodating. We had a little bit of trouble finding her place using the Aircoach, but just make sure to get off at the Sydney Ave Mount Merrion stop. From there it is a breeze to get to her place. The cabin was cozy and very clean. It is also located conveniently by shops, pubs, and the DART. My friend Monica and I had a lovely time staying here and it really contributed to a delightful stay in Dublin.

The cabin was perfect for a romantic getaway in a beautiful part of Dublin, with easy access to both the airport and the city centre. We had a lovely time and could not ask for anything more. We were given plenty of privacy but Teresa was easily accessible to answer any questions we had. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay in Dublin.

Teresa and Hugh were wonderful, and our stay was comfortable and easy. The hosts themselves were quite accommodating, gave us tips of places we should go, and were understanding of our schedule. We arrived with a car, an through there wasn't a space for it, Hugh moved their own car to a new location so we could leave ours be. They had drawn up a map with walking directions to local destinations (train station, mall, etc.) that really helped us get acclimated to the neighborhood. They even went so far as to get gluten free bread so my husband would have it to eat in the morning. Wonderful charming people. Breakfast was more than sufficient with an assortment of jams, and spreads for toast in the morning, a few kinds of cereal and fresh fruit. More than we expected. Our room, the bathroom and the kitchen were all clean and tidy. To me, part of traveling is meting new people and interacting with the real world - not stark hotel rooms. We enjoyed morning conversations with other visiting guests and all in all, it was a great place for us during our time there.

Teresa and Hugh were great hosts for our stay, Hugh even gave us a lift to the train. The room we stayed in had the most comfortable double bed, which was great to fall into after a full day on the town.

Teresa was an amazing hostess! Her home was very welcoming and she even gave us lots of ideas for places to visit in Ireland. She is so pleasant to talk to and she made our stay in Dublin wonderful. I would highly recommend any Dublin traveler to stay with Teresa and her family; an awesome experience!!!

Teresa (and Hugh) absolutely delightful hosts with lovely home and very comfy accommodation. A brilliant start to our trip in Ireland (we're having a wonderful time!). Thanks again for a great few days, Rob & Kathy

Beautiful little place in a quite suburb right outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Dublin. It has the feel of a countryside home with the convenience of the city. It's a short walk to a new mall or the train station which will put you in heart of Dublin in 15 minutes. If you want a relaxed, clean, quiet, and friendly environment filled with some good vibes and vintage Irish charm....then stay with Teresa and Huey!

Teresa's place is neat, quiet, and clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. Yes, it is quite small, but I didn't need much space, and it is obvious from the description and pictures that it will be small, so no complaints here. The only tiny issue is that you really have paper-thin walls between the rented out rooms, and do hear everything from the other guests. But that's hardly the host's fault and your mileage may vary depending on who the other guests were. This place gets a clear recommendation from me!

Incredibly welcome and flexible, generous and friendly! It's a beautiful area with great transport links to the city centre. Not that you need to go anywhere as the local town centre is very well equipped to keep you occupied for a week. The hosts were very kind, full of local knowledge and extremely accommodating.

Teresa's place would be ideal for people who would prefer (like us) a quiet place for the night after a noisy and a busy day in the city. Very comfortable bed too in a nice cozy room. The area (beautiful neighborhood) is really well connected to the city center and you can get Leap Card for 1, 3 or 7 days which cuts down the costs for public transport and you can travel from-to the airport and around Dublin as much as you want. I loved talking to Teresa - she is a lovely and intelligent person and a great host too, making you feel like at home. She was also very good at providing us, in advance, prior of our visit, with detailed information on how to get to her place and with recommendations what to visit in Dublin and around.

We had an excellent time staying at Teresa's cottage! Everything was perfectly clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable, and the amenities were all of the highest standard. The locations is great for the traveler who hopes to see the sights but have a quite place to rest at night, as the cottage is situated in a beautiful suburb only just outside of City Center with very quick (and safe) transport into the city. Our hosts were the most lovely people, always warm and welcoming, more than willing to answer our questions or help us with any problem. There is no higher recommendation than what we give to Teresa and her home.

Our experience with Teresa and Hugh was absolutely flawless. They really made us feel at home during our stay, and always helped and answered questions. The room was lovely and the bathroom and kitchen we openly accessible and great as well. We felt very comfortable and I will definitely recommend this Airbnb to friends!

Tight, but nice accommodations. No appliances available for breakfast but microwave and toaster (can not do eggs, bacon, etc.). Teresa very helpful in providing directions, brochures, etc. for getting around. Lovely park nearby, and easy access to train or bus for getting around.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit bei Teresa. Sie empfing uns sehr herzlich, hatte immer ein offenes Ohr und ein offenes Herz für das was uns auf der Seele lag. Uns mangelte es an nichts. Auch ihre Wegbeschreibungen, Tipps und Tricks waren sehr hilfreich. Wir hatten gute Möglichkeit uns zurück zu ziehen aber eben auch gerne mal ein Gespräch oder eine nette Tasse Tee mit ihr und ihrem Mann. Die Unterkunft ist gut zu erreichen mit Bus und Bahn. Ein Einkaufszentrum ist in der Nähe und dennoch hat man abends viel Ruhe. Einige Pubs sind nicht weit gelegen und in der Stadt ist man in ca 15Minuten mit dem Bus auch ganz fix. Ich würde definitiv wieder bei ihr wohnen wollen, wenn ich nochmal nach Dublin käme.

Teresa and her husband Hugh were such great hosts! Very cozy little room and cottage and not far at all from the city. Extremely helpful, kind, and accommodating- they even gave us a hand drawn map of all of the places and streets by their home. Would absolutely go back!

Staying at this lovely cottage was a wonderful experience. The area is so peaceful and quiet, which meant we had some really restful sleep, but were a short bus/tram ride away from the lively City centre. Teresa and Hugh were perfect hosts who went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and looked after. They suggested some wonderful places to visit that were a little off the beaten track, and as such our trip was a really fantastic experience. The cottage is spacious, clean, bright and full of character and charm, but not nearly as charming as the wonderful Hugh and Teresa! The beds were comfy, breakfast was a wide range of toast, cereals, fruit etc. The bathroom is stocked with shampoo and shower gels, and we were provided with towels and a hairdryer. Would be delighted to stay again, absolutely fantastic!

We enjoyed the very warm and friendly welcome and absolutely enjoyed our first AirBnB experience. There was plenty of breakfast and it was more than easy to find your way to the city center, especially thanks to the detailed instructions. Thanks again to the two of you.

My friend Melissa and I are studying abroad in London and wanted to visit Ireland for the weekend. We stayed with Hugh and Teresa for three nights. They were able to accommodated our late-night check in. Ireland is cold in February (when we visited) so the electric mattress pads on our beds were wonderful to come back to after a long day of sightseeing. It was really nice to get out of or dorms and into a beautiful, cozy home. We loved the Irish bread served at breakfast so much that we bought a loaf to bring back with us. The bus into Dublin City Centre stops just a few paces from their house, and the LUAS light rail was easy to get to. We felt safe walking in their town late at night. Teresa and Hugh were great to chat with, asking us about ourselves and if we needed help with anything. I highly recommend Holly Cottage!

Siamo stati bene da Michael. Si è dimostrato accogliente e premuroso. La stanza preparata per noi era confortevole ed accogliente. Il quartiere tranquillo e signorile. L'ubicazione comodissima per la vicinanza della stazione DART e piacevoli anche le passeggiate nei dintorni.

We had a very nice stay at Michael's house...great location just a minute away from the Dart Seapoint station. The Dart was very convenient to take to & from downtown Dublin & made getting there very easy. The room was very clean & beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. Michael was a great host and gave us some helpful information. Definitely a great place to stay if you are wanting to explore Dublin :)

Lovely room in a great location. Michael is a welcoming host. Very nice area on the coast and close to transport.

The room is quite, clean and comfortable. The fireplace is gorgeous. Our stay was excellent. The house is really close to the dart station so you can be in downtown only in 15 minutes. Recommended!

A great place and 2 minute walk to Seapoint DART station.

Dublin was one of the best Airbnb experiences I have had. Michael was great at communicating and very accommodating. The room was larger than what it looks in the photo and the fireplace added a warm touch of home(: Michael offered many suggestions for places to go/see. The location is a little outside of Dublin but in a great area and a short train ride into the city. The train is a 3 minute walk from his house. An early morning walk on the beach is a bonus. The town has the best little restaurant/market that Michael suggested. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking to go to Dublin! If I return this is where I will go! Thank you again for your amazing hospitality Michael!!

Pleasant room in a quieter part of the town with easy access to city centre, and parking!

Michael was a very welcoming host and walked me through everything on my arrival. I was working pretty late most nights so he left me to my own devices, which was fine. The location is excellent, it is literally 3 mins walk from Seapoint DART station which gets you into the city centre in about 12-15 mins. The house is in a very nice a safe area. The room is very comfortable with a gas fire and radiator so it is cosy too. You also have access to a small kitchen area which is really handy for making a quick breakfast in the morning. I would recommend this place.

My wife and I and our almost 4 year old boy had the most incredible stay at the cottage. Pauline and her husband Seamus went way above the norm in everything they do. The cottage is beautiful, even nicer than the pictures. Everything was spotles, crisp clean sheets, warm, however we did light a roaring log fire most evenings as it was so beautiful. We staid a total of 8 nights and do not have a single negative thing to say, pure excellence. The farm is amazing, my little fella Jack was in love with all the animals, particularly the farmhouse dog, Holly. We took hikes around the farm almost daily and you could not pick a better spot to just relax and let the world go by. There is no city sounds or sounds of traffic, but just nature, a babbling brook, a well, a sheep bah and cows moo. The views are spectacular, from sun up to sundown, no matter what the weather everything looks so beautiful. I have lived in the US for almost 20 years, we live in Boston. but I grew up in Dublin about 10 miles away from the cottage So I had a little knowledge of the area, that said I found everything easy to navigate , you could be in Dublin city in way under an hour or you could be exploring the lakes of Glendalough within 30 min. The was so many great places to eat and drink pretty close by, our favorite was Johnny Foxes, an amazing pub and seafood restaurant serving the best pint of Guinness and really friendly staff. We will for sure be going back to the cottage again, we really fell in love with it. Thanks a million Pauline and Seamus for being amazing hosts. You guys are inspiring and you our living our complete dream life. Until next time.....

Pauline was a great host. The cottage and setting was even nicer than the pictures. It was a lovely touch to leave the welcome pack. An idealic setting, would highly recommend a visit!

I was visiting with my parents for 2 nights and we had a very relaxing and pleasant stay. Pauline was very friendly, accommodating and caring. The cottage itself is surrounded by picturesque hills in the countryside so if you want a cosy place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is for you. You do need a car to get around and to visit nearby tourist spots like powers court waterfalls and Glendalough. I don't have anything negative to report and certainly will be booking again with Pauline in the near future.

Superbe cottage très confortable, cosy et fonctionnel avec une vue imprenable sur les collines , la campagne et les moutons irlandais qui viennent vous accueillir. Idéal pour ceux qui veulent visiter Dublin tout en habitant à la campagne. Pauline est adorable et nous a très bien accueillies. Les photos sont très réalistes voir même en dessous de la réalité. A recommander chaudement!!!!

This house was gorgeous as was our stay and Pauline's hosting. So peaceful and magical, with views of the wicklow mountains how could it not be. From the moment I arrived I got goosebumps and anything you needed Pauline was at hand and foot! Would most definitely stay again! How about tomorrow? Haha

Pauline and Seamus have a fantastic place, everything is spotless, brand new, safe and the surroundings are AMAZING! My girlfriend and I had the most relaxing two days of our lives here and our hosts are absolutely lovely people, very welcoming, chatty and accommodating in person AND within their home itself (breakfast food and milk in the fridge upon our arrival!). We'd both highly recommend Cosy Cottage to anyone looking for a beautifully done luxury break! We didn't want to leave and we'll definitely be back :) Roy & Debbie (SEPT-2015)

La qualité de l'accueil de Pauline et de son logement ont été remarquables en tous points. The quality of Pauline's welcome and accommodation was remarkable in every respect.

We couldn't have a better start of our holiday in Ireland than staying at this place. Pauline was very welcoming and we felt immediately at home. The house was convenient and the views spectacular. We decided to stay home the first day and just went for a drink and a bite to the nearby pub Johnny's Fox. We had a great time! Thanks Pauline and Seamus.

Très bon accueil, bel endroit. Hugh et sa femme sont très sympathique, généreux et de bons conseils !

The family is SO friendly and they live in a very beautiful village with a good conection to Dublin (maybe an hour per bus) . It was just a great time :)

Hugh is a very nice host, he took care of my friends and me very well. Beds are confortable. We slept very well. It's a perfect place if You have a car and want to visit the Wiklow mountains.

Hugh was a wonderful host. His family were friendly and very helpful. He went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as possible and showed us around the nearby towns and villages, which were really lovely. The room is about 25 minutes from the city centre, but the bus stop is only a few minutes walk from the house, which is very convenient. There are two bus routes, one which takes you straight into the city centre (44) and the other which takes you to the seaside town of Dun Laoghaire (63), which is definitely worth a visit. It's a great place to stay if you want the best of both worlds; the liveliness of the Dublin City, as well the peacefulness and scenic views of the countryside.

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay was truly amazing and confirmed our expectations of Ireland in every way. The house is very clean and very modern and has enough place for up to 8 people. We highly made use of the pool table in the basement :-) The next pub is about 10 minutes walk from the house (and is by the way the highest pub in the whole country :-) ). If it's clear and sunny weather you will have an outstanding view over Dublin and the Dublin Bay. Claire and John were really nice to us and gave us a hand whenever we needed their help. I would highly recommend that place and we will see us next year. Thanks you Claire and John for everything !

We stayed here during our walk of the Dublin Way. Such a stunning home in a beautiful location. Claire was great, very communicative and her and her husband are lovely people. The house is a ten minute walk to Johnny Fox's and is kitted out with everything you could possible need! Recommended!

The views, the house, the cleaningness, the area... everything was set for a perfect weekend, and it was fantastic. Thanks Claire and John, we had a great time!

Myself and 7 friends booked this accommodation for my 30th Birthday and I am already trying to find another reason to go back. First of, Claire was amazing with communication, she was always quick to respond and more than helpful. John came to meet us in Stepaside to show us to the house and gave us some info about the area and house for our stay. They were both incredibly friendly hosts. When we arrived, we were taken aback by the beauty of the house itself and the spectacular views. The photos are great but you can't appreciate it until you are there. The house is finished to an incredibly high standard with plenty of bathrooms and extremely roomy and comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen/living area is huge and a perfect space to get a group together for food and drinks. There is even a snooker table downstairs which was a fantastic surprise! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get out to the mountains and look on over Dublin. Claire and John are superb hosts and their house is unbelievable. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, the birthday card and cake were more than appreciated and so thoughtful. I couldn't have wished for a better 30th!

This house location is fantastic if you have a car and was open plan for family living which was great for the whole family and especially the children. Lots to do in the locality, good shops - George's Fish Shop in Stepaside deserves a special mention and JOHNNY Fox's is a great family friendly quirky hostelry. The hosts were attentive and friendly. We enjoyed our stay in this home.

Amazing house with amazing views will definitely recommend, we felt like kings staying here whilst working in dundrum. Very good communication as well as a 5 star host thank you very much

We had a great stay at Claires place for our family get together. House was perfect, had everything we could have needed. Lots of space for kids. Lovely pub just down the road and close to head to powers court for the day. One our our party have already booked a return visit. Highly recommended.

We hired this lovely house for a family get together and it surpassed expectations. Not only was the view breathtaking, the main living space is superb for a large group. We were very lucky to have fantastic weather over the weekend and took advantage of walks nearby. Claire was very quick to respond to all queries and was very helpful. The house is 15 minutes drive from Powerscourt estate which is a highly recommended visit.

Karen was a wonderful host and a truly special person, a great place to stay where you are made to feel just like part of the family.

Karen was the perfect host, she welcomed us to their house, gave us some advice to walk around in the village and also to get to the airport. She was also very nice and warm. I'm very glad we met her and I defenitely recommend her and Sean!

We had a great experience during our stay with Karen! It was lovely to meet them all, Karen, Sean and Timmy (great dog!), and to talk about our travels and experiences of Ireland. We were quite tired when we arrived at their place and we had all the room and place to live our own lazy schedule. They really helped in finding ways to get around and it was great to walk in the neighboring mountains. Lovely location to experience the surrounding area of Dublin!

It was a pleasute to stay in Karen place. The place is really nice and Karen always helped us with advices and indications.I hope the best to her. It was a really pleasure

The house is situated in a very green en quiet neighborhood with good connection to Dublin city and the airport. Karen has been very helpful in giving us directions to places we wanted to go and thanks to Sean we made our very early flight back home. Karen, Sean and little Timmy the dog have been very warm, friendly and helpful hosts to us :) Some tips for travelers: - If you can, rent a car. Public transportation is a bit of a hassle as 1) the connection between towns in the countryside is not that great an 2) you have to pay the exact bus fare in coin. - The pizzeria Quattro in Stepaside has great pizza and it's right across from the busstop. It's also one of the two places to eat in Stepaside :p - There's a supermarket with an ATM mavhine at walking distance in Belarmine

Flott sted hyggelige folk

We had a great stay at Karen's place. She is really welcoming and makes you feel at home. Everything fits the description, especially the cuteness of the dog

Karen was a lovely host. She's so sweet and kind. We had an excellent time. Would definitely recommend.

Shona and Nick are amazing and interesting hosts! The house is beautiful. The room is big, comfortable and with an amazing view of the green part of Dublin. The bathroom is clean and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay at their house. Nick stored our luggage and gave us a lift to the house from the center of Dublin. He even gave us a small class about politics and history of Ireland. Shona left us at the bus stop in the morning. They were really good hosts. The best fit for anyone. Highly recommend their place.

Great accommodation, room exactly as described. Shona is a wonderful host. Highly recommended.

Wonderful accommodation, very comfortable. Amazing shower, lovely location. Shona was very helpful and kind. We would highly recommend Shona's home.

This rental is not what it seems. It is not a cozy cottage or an apartment. It is something between a makeshift bedroom/yoga studio. No amenities to make it comfortable. A large open room with only an open sofa bed. There are 2 straight back chairs next to a small folding writing table near the front door. The only place to sit is your bed! And it is tiny and uncomfortable. No kitchen but some plugins are squeezed into a corner. No hot running water except in the shower. The bathroom has no heat and no surfaces to sit your belongings- not even a ledge on the sink as it is so small. No proper table to sit at and nowhere to hang your clothes. No dresser, upholstered chairs or even a coffee table. And you must like spiders as they are everywhere! Yes this little "house" is in the middle of a beautiful garden, but it's sparse furnishings, numerous spiders and no running hot water, no wifi, no tv or no proper bed and your closest neighbor is a pen of hunting dogs that bark a lot, didn't do it for me. You must have a car here. The host was never available and very short tempered. I asked for clean sheets and towels during a 10 day stay as there was only one towel each. We did get towels but never any sheets. We were out all day and every day for our 10 day visit and it would have been nice to return to comfort and warmth at night. We never had any conflict or problem with the host- it was just very clear that she is high strung and short tempered. We didn't spend any time with her. You are in the middle of a rich residential gated community and far from anything to eat, drink or buy or walk to. Public transport is expensive and nowhere near this lodging. It's at least a half hour walk to the nearest bus. Train is much further. If you never want to run into a soul for a mile - this is your place- as long as you don't get hungry:) sorry hostess- but renters count on honesty and clarity. Wish I knew as I would have made a better decision or at least rented a car! You had no feedback when I booked but I see now others also love a real bed with no spiders. I hope that you improve it and make the experience better for future guests. 80 euro to take a taxi one way to the airport, btw.

The location was ideal for me, 10 minutes from the luas which has you in the city centre in 30 minutes. Location of the house is in a quiet estate and the chalet is very private in a big garden. Leentje was a lovely host and the chalet was very clean and there is a beatutiful ambiance in the grounds of the house. Perfect place to stay for short stays for individuals or couples. You will not be disappointed with your stay here. Has the advantage of being out of the city in the foothills of the Dublin mountains but the city is still within easy reach.

My experience of the Studio Room was extremely comfortable, cosy, warm and clean. Leentje was welcoming and friendly. The quiet garden surroundings were secluded with just a 7 minute walk to the Bus to the beautiful Dun Laoighaire pier and just a 12 minute walk to the Luas transit to the City Centre of which I had cause to use. Cabinteely park is available for walks and has a children's playground. I used the Internet with ease to watch my movies on Netflix. Leentje's pet dogs are friendly and sleep in the house at night so not a sound can be heard from them. This contributed to one of the best sleeps I have had in a long time. I would recommend this beautiful retreat to those who wish to experience a quite meditative space but who also wish to be close to the amenities for walks in a spacious park, to have the sea breeze in your hair and yet access to the City Centre.

L'appartamento di Leentje è una splendida casetta in legno inserita in un romantico giardino pieno di verde. La casetta profuma ancora di pino ed è molto luminosa. Il giardino è bellissimo e molto curato, il posto è tranquillo e le abitazioni vicine sono nascoste da fitti alberi per cui c'è grandissima privacy. E' un posto ideale per rilassarsi, con statue, fontane e decorazioni che invitano alla meditazione. Dall'appartamento si può raggiungere il centro città (St.Stephen Green) con la Luas verde in poco più di mezz'ora, oppure si può andare a Dun Laoghaire con l'autobus n.63 che impiega 20 minuti (nelle ore di punta anche 40). Ho trovato particolarmente romantico il viaggio in autobus, specialmente all'alba e al tramonto, perchè percorre stradine strette e panoramiche. Le fermate dei mezzi pubblici distano dall'appartamento una decina di minuti. Non disponendo di un'auto non ho visitato i centri commerciali più vicini perchè richiedono almeno una ventina di minuti di cammino. La zona è residenziale, con abitazioni di lusso; sono bellissime da vedere, si potrebbe dire che anch'esse sono un'attrazione. Leentje è gentilissima e simpatica, mi ha assistito durante il tragitto per raggiungere il suo appartamento e si è accertata a più riprese che il mio soggiorno proseguisse nel migliore dei modi. Se volete visitare Dublino con animo sereno e rilassato, avendo un posto dove stare in pace quando tornate alla base, l'appartamento di Leentje fa per voi.

Despite lost luggage (not her fault!) and airlines running late, she was ready with a welcoming greeting 3 hours after we were scheduled to be there. The neighborhood was incredible, I did not consider locking the doors on the rental vehicle.

I have been at Sonas garden room several times for about two weeks, and I love this accomodation. The room is big yet cozy and very, very clean. The bed is comfortable and sheets and duvets are excellent. All the appliances are new and work perfectly. I would recommend this accommodation for many reasons, but the gardens view in the mornings and the stillness and cleaness of the place are just amazing. The environment could not be better -well-mantained gardens, mountain views and quiet and fancy neighbourhood. The location is very convenient to get the M50 and N11. Getting to Sandyford industrial estate takes only 15 minutes. Carrickmines Luas station is only 10 minutes walking from the house. Leentje has been an excellent host. She is very friendly, helpful and polite. She showed me some local restaurants and tips and tried to make me feel like at home. I definetly will go back to Sonas.

My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful stay in the garden room for a long weekend in October. The place was exactly as described - clean, cozy, restful. The transport links into the city centre are incredibly easy and affordable and the surrounding villages in the immediate vicinity are lovely. Leentje was incredibly helpful - she picked us up from the Luas station (Carrickmines) when we arrived as it was dark, and she was kind enough to show us the routes into the nearby villages and wait for us as we picked up some tea. She also went above and beyond on our last day to drop us off for the air coach, and we made it with plenty of time to spare despite the Dublin marathon coinciding with our journey and much of the city being blocked off! Overall my friend and I had a lovely stay, and we would definitely come back if we wanted good accommodation convenient for Dublin city exploring at a fair price. All of that said, we did have minor quibbles. One, the garden room is a room in a garden, so there was a fairly obvious spider issue! I'm a bit of a wuss about spiders and my friend slightly less so, and we were both a bit on guard and went around hoovering up spider webs a couple of times during our stay. I'm not sure what could be done about them, but just to flag this up as I imagine serious arachnophobes would struggle with it. The second quibble is the bed. The bed is a sofa bed, and the pillows and bedding were all super comfortable, but my friend and I are both tall people (5ft11 and 6ft1), and we found that one of us could be comfy and sleep fine but only if the other one was uncomfortably wedged in an awkward position. We both managed to sleep and it wasn't a horrible experience, but I think both of us would have had an even more wonderful stay if we could have been fully rested for our excursions in the day. Single people or two more compact people might be absolutely fine, but if you are a larger-than-average pair this bed may pose a difficulty. Otherwise and overall I would heartily recommend this place. It was a fun, safe, picturesque stay in Dublin.

A small separate house in the garden, very comfortable inside, enough space and all needed equipment. Plan your trip in advance, taxi from airport can cost 50-60 euro, might be reasonable to go on public transport. Leentje is a very hospitable host, she gives all necessary instructions and support for the guests

L'appartement est agréable et dans un quartier calme et chic. Il a été très facile de se rendre dans Dublin avec notre voiture. Les chambres sont spacieuses et propres. Il manquait juste des produits de nécessités. Par exemple pour cuisiner et faire la vaisselle. (condiments, liquide vaisselle ou tablette pour le lave vaisselle) Gautier.

Wonderful location , beautiful landscaping with a nice sized apartment for our family of 4. Close to Luas and nearby grocery store and was very quiet. Slight challenge to find at night as there are multiple units. Parking was easy at all times.

Apartment is very clean and the neighborhood is fantastic. We could reach grocery, few restaurants and vegetable shop by walking.

Ian's place in Stepaside was perfect for our family. Waking distance to the beautiful village with local amenities nearby. The apartment was fully equipped to cater to a family, baby cot was a huge help. Spacious, warm and cosy. Laura was very helpful regarding arrivals and departures. A pleasant stay!

Ian's communication with us at the beginning was very clear and helpful then for the actual arrangements closer to our visit he handed us over to Laura. As we didn't have a phone available she communicated with us by email and her guidance and helpfulness couldn't be faulted. We really appreciated her directions and her quick responses to our queries This was a great place to stay being only 5mins by car to the train station which took us to the centre of Dublin and shops only 5-10 mins. walk. Everything was neat, clean and with 2 bathrooms it suited 4 of us just fine.

Bruce and his family are really lovely. Thanks really much for everything!
