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.

This cottage was exactly as-pictured and described. A truly unique gem hidden away in the docklands which served as a wonderful home-base during our Dublin adventures. The host was very responsive and courteous and check-in was seamless. As with other comments, the location is unique and can be a bit tricky to find, but the instructions are clear and everyone seemed to find us just fine (I wish we had had more time to explore the docklands area more on foot, it looked so interesting). Once we mastered the bus system, it was an easy travel to downtown either on the new S2 bus or through the park to the other lines in Ringsend village and we felt safe walking to and from bus stops. Billy’s guidance and recommendations were fantastic. The beds were comfortable and the cottage was clean and tidy.

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!

The cottage was great and very charming. The location is just not very close to any restaurants or other city activities. It is very easy to get a taxi/uber so that’s a plus. You can also walk to many fantastic areas in Dublin but each walk is 30/40 minutes or more to get to some of the more popular areas (local city bus and train stops are within walking distance). Also, it is right next to the port harbor where they load ships so it can be a little noisy at times. This is still a very good option for staying in Dublin even with these caveats. The decor is excellent and it has all the amenities that travelers need.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
