We loved our stay. Billy was available for our inquiries. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfy. We were able to get taxis no problem and also walked through the area with no problems. Thanks for sharing your beautiful spot, Billy. Highly recommend.

It was just as described but also had a super awesome book collection! If you stay here, consider walking out to the lighthouse. It took us a bit to figure out the heat since there is an on/off switch to the whole setup, but that is something most people probably would have figured out quicker than we did. It was a beautiful place, and walkable to bus and train which we used instead of driving. The host was very responsive as well. We would love to visit again!

My friend and I had a wonderful week at the Dublin Horse Show and Billy’s place was great! The first night we both slept 10 hours - that’s how comfortable the beds are.We walked (or took the bus) to the show @ RDS everyday, walked into Dublin proper (O’Connell St area), and drove to Dalkey to jump in the sea at Forty Foot, and back down later for dinner. We loved the cottage, the location and the history of it all so much. Billy is a perfect host with quick friendly communication, and we’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

William was a great and accommodating host! The property is charming and is perfect for two travelers. Despite being next to a shipyard, it’s very quiet. Beds were comfortable, place was clean, and we were grateful to have a spot to cook ourselves dinner. We also enjoyed the decor of the home and the large collection of books. Although it was not a problem for us, travelers should note that this property is not in Dublin city center and requires you to commute 30 min via bus into the city. The benefit of it being removed from the city is that it’s not in a busy neighborhood and is very quiet!

We had trouble finding the appartment on first go. My navigators (wife and 2 daughters )were yelling directions because my ears were plugged from flight. There are 2 Pigion House Roads separated by a toll roadIf you do not put 74 in the directions it will bring you to the other Pigeon House Rd.Once we got that straight the accomadation were what we needed. Taxis came within 5 mins of putting in order.

Lovely rental, had everything you would need except the wifi was down the entire time we were there which was disappointing, forcing us to use data etc to stay in touch with family and friends back in Canada. Owner was very apologetic and easily contacted.

Interessantes Haus mit guter Ausstattung

Im Vorfeld wurde alles gut beschrieben und den Schlüssel konnten wir der Schlüsselbox entnehmen. Das Haus war sauber, abgesehen von der vollen Geschirrspülmaschine mit verschmutztem Geschirr. Das kann passieren und beeinflusst unsere Bewertung nicht. Die Fenster halten die Außengeräusche vom ab und zu betriebenen Containerverladeplatz gut ab. Auf der Straße vor dem Haus gibt es fast keinen Verkehr. Ins Zentrum sind es ca. 4km, die wir gelaufen sind. ÖPNV gibt es in der Nähe. Parkplatz im Innenhof konnten wir auch mit unseren California T6.1 nutzen.

Cute, Quiet spot on a Busy Weekend

I stayed in this lovely cottage on St. Paddy's Weekend with three other friends. During such a busy time, this place was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood which was a nice break at times. The host was very communicative and helpful beforehand and during our stay which we appreciated! Overall, if you're looking for a great option on a busy weekend, I would highly recommend it!

Wonderful place

We absolutely loved this place. It's very charming and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. Beds were very comfortable.The location is interesting. It's about a 15-minute pleasant walk to the nearest shops, which wasn't a problem for us. Even though it's across the road from a large active shipping port, noise was never a problem at all. The neighbors were quiet as well. It was a nice haven after busy days exploring the city.The next time we visit Dublin we'll definitely try to stay here. In an ideal world I'd take an extra few weeks to explore Billy's remarkable library.

Geschmackvoll eingerichtet und doch leider nicht wie erwartet: nicht sehr sauber, überraschend industrielle Lage. Leider nur zwei Sessel und daher ungemütlich für mehr Personen. Keine Steckdosen im Bad, kein Kleiderschrank, um Kleider aufzuhängen. Drucker und Pool in Beschreibung, aber nicht vorhanden - es gab nur ein paar Tage einen aufblasbarer Kinderpool. Vermieter antwortete schnell - aber nicht auf Fragen nach Drucker und Pool. Das Verhältnis von Preis und Leistung für uns absolut nicht stimmig, leider zu teuer für das Gesamterlebnis - wir hatten in London eine tollere und günstigere Unterkunft. Daher leider die erste Enttäuschung mit Vrbo / Fewo-Direkt in vielen Jahren.

Beautiful cottage in Dublin

We had a wonderful stay in Dublin and loved the history of this cottage. The location was great and we enjoyed walking the neighborhoods with easy access to hiking trails, pubs, shops and beaches. I definitely recommend this stay if you're looking for a quiet place outside the bustle of downtown!

The Surprising Pleasure of Staying Next to a Dockyard

The cottage is attractively renovated and cosy. William, the host, was very communicative and helpful before our stay (we needed to add another day, but the cottage was already booked for that day, so William found a nearby hotel with availability for us). Useful things for guests to know: 1) Uber/taxi drivers may have a hard time finding the address. It helps to tell the driver that it's around the corner from Deeke's Diner and facing one side of the dockyards; 2) Ask William to check the inventory of necessities (we had to immediately go out and buy toilet paper); 3) the narrow stairs may present a challenge to anyone with impaired mobility, so be aware of that issue; 4) despite being right next to an active dockyards, it's a quiet location and it was fascinating to watch the freight loading activities; 5) the cottage is in an out-of-the way corner of the city but is only a 6 minute walk to the bus stop. We used the bus to travel into the city regularly; and 6) we highly recommend Khushee, a wonderful Indian restaurant in Sandymount.
