Double room ..House is shared with other guests. We have a small Corgi dog at our home and there are two other dogs in the garden. We are very laid back and enjoy meeting different Cultures. Our home is ten minutes walk to Luas tram which goes in to city center in about twenty minutes. Motorway is about five minutes from house so anyone with ultra sensitive hearing would not suit here. You can come and go as you please and I can supply lots of information leaflets on places to visit here in Ireland. We can supply an extra bed if needed at a reasonable price.

Géraldine a été très gentille par mail avant notre arrivée pour nous donner des informations sur Dublin et les alentours. Nous avons beaucoup échangé. Malheureusement, la chambre à notre arrivée était plus ou moins en travaux, comme la partie de la maison qui concerne le Bed & breakfast. Pas de chauffage à notre arrivée, elle nous a fourni un petit convecteur d'appoint et un bain d'huile qui auront fini par réchauffer la chambre.
Pas de chauffage du tout dans la salle de bain dans laquelle il devait faire 12 degrès. La maison est à 300 m de l'autoroute M50 avec un flux continu de voiture, je n'ai pas fermé l'oeil de la nuit. Enfin, pour le petit déjeuner sommaire acceptable, le beurre était périmé depuis début janvier!!!
Nous n'avons du coup passé qu"une seule nuit chez Géraldine.
Enfin, la chambre pour 4 était à 160€. Pour 118€, nous avons trouvé une chambre dans un hôtel 4 étoiles à l'aéroport de Dublin. A Cork, nous avons était reçu comme des rois avec 2 chambres et un petit déjeuner complet avec oeufs brouillés pour 80€!!
Rien de bon donc dans cette expérience qui restera le cauchemar de notre semaine en IrlandeHost reply
Hi Laurent, firstly I told you when we were talking that the house you were going into was still having bits and pieces done to it, but you wanted to bring four people with you and said you were ok with that. I asked you to let me know your arrival time and you never got back to me. Then you arrived , when I was in work , and I had to rush home to meet you. The heating was on downstairs as my other guest had it on and I asked you were you all ok and you said yes. I also asked you what you would like to have to eat and you said you wanted hot chocolate and tea , you were not fussy. I left , cereal, milk, biscuits, bread, coffee , tea and chocalate spread, I did not leave any butter so you must have taken the butter belonging nag to the other guest from the fridge. I asked my other guests was there a problem with the noise from traffic and they said not in the least. I have had lots of people staying at my home and that is the first time I had any problems. But you are entitled to your opinion. I enjoyed meeting you children though. Bye.

We had a really good time at Geraldine's and Peter's house. They are a nice family, really friendly, very helpful and welcoming. The room is large and reasonable for three people with breakfast included. Their three dogs are really friendly and cute.
I recommend this place to every people who want to meet an exceptional and a big hearted familyApril 2016
Geraldine & all her family were all very welcoming to us and they were all amazing hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a huge room with great facilities including breakfast & evening meal if we were there when they were eating. We also had the use of a separate sitting room with lovely open fire & big TV. I would thoroughly recommend this family to anyone but especially to animal lovers. They have the best behaved dogs I have ever met and they also made us feel so welcome. This was our first Homestay experience and we loved it & look forward to doing it again. Rosaleen & Micky
