I live in a quiet residential estate in north county Dublin. I live with my husband
Patrick and we also have another lodger Rory who has been living with us for the last two years. It is a lively house with many people coming and going as the rest of my family live in the area. Sport features big in our home and with the World Cup and Wimbledon the competition will be great.
Our house is a five minute walk to the bus stop and a ten minute walk to the beautiful village of Swords. Swords is the nearest village to Dublin airport and has many tourist attractions including a castle which is set in a beautiful park area with many trendy restaurants and cafe's and the Pavillion shopping center.
My husband is an avid gardener and we have quaint style back garden that is the setting for many BBQ evenings. I am a stay at home Mum and cooking is my hobby and I would have no problem cooking to dietary requirements within reason.
Additional Info
Swords is a beautiful village from which to visit Dublin city and some of the rustic coastal towns. Car parking would be available and English is the language we speak.

Very welcoming and friendly. Brenda and family were excellent hosts throughout, and went the extra mile for me. I very much recommend staying with Brenda, long or short, the accommodation is very good for all kinds of stays. Swords is a short walk, but there are great shops nearby, and a bus to town.
