Barbara&Eámonn are the very best hosts in the world! They have always been very kind and helped us with all we need. The house is well located, and it's very beautiful, clean and tidy. Breakfast is fantastic too. We rate them with the maximum of 'hearts' Homestay.com allows, but there are no hearts enough to express how fantastic they are. Thank you very much to our new friends in Dublin!
