Make yourself at home in our warm and welcoming house, where you will be greeted with a friendly atmosphere, two playful sausage dogs, and a cuddly cat. Janet, Thomas and the family love hosting guests and sharing their comfortable home with visitors.

Ideally located, we’re just a short bus ride from the city centre, making it easy to explore everything the city has to offer. Local shops are within walking distance, so you’ll have everything you need close by.

Guests can enjoy a light breakfast each morning, ensuring a great start to the day. While full kitchen use isn’t available, there is limited access to the kettle, toaster, annd microwave. Additionally, Janet offers home-cooked dinners and late night suppers at an additional cost. These must be precooked and discussed directly with Janet to ensure availability. There are also plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby for dining options.

Whether you’re visiting for work, study or a city getaway, you’ll find a welcoming space where you can relax and feel at home. We look forward to hosting you! Last minute and late night bookings welcome.

    Very quiet home and neighborhood. A bit far from the city, but easy transport by bus. The family is very kind and willing to help you with any doubt. The room is a bit small, but clean and comfortable.

    Janet and her family were so welcoming, the street is really quiet and we slept like logs. Perfectly affordable while all other lodgings were horribly overpriced due to it being St Patrick’s Day.

    Thank You, Janet!

    I was on a work/holiday in Ireland for 3 months (digital nomad style).. n through this whole time I have obviously been apartment hopping (Dublins not a tiny city!) n i gotta say, janets place ranks on top when it comes to providing a perfect blend of comfort n juz an overall conducive environment for me to do my work (well, usually after some sight-seeing in the day n great hospitality on my way in or out of the house on any given day)

    Janet and her husband are very accommodating and nice. The place is comfortable. One needs to prepare cash for there is no nearby atm. Their place is near the bus stop. We had a great vacation.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
