We loved staying with Mary - she is such a warm and lovely lady. She made us a great breakfast and even drove us to the bus stop for our trip into Dublin.
Our room was beautiful and had a lovely view of her colourful garden. Her home is warm and inviting and we would highly recommend this stay.

You feel at home. Peaceful neighbourhood. A very pleasant stay. 15 min walk to the nearest stop bus (46a ) which leads you to Dubin centre up to Phoenix park and in the other way, a nice little town called Dun Laoghaire with its pier, at 10 min by bus.
I highly recommend Mary's home if you stay 3 or 4 days at least. (1 hour from the airport by bus)Host reply
Thanks Muriel I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and your vacation in and around Dublin. I look forward to your next trip.

The kindest, sweetest hostess we could have ever hoped for. Mary IS Ireland to us!
Host reply
Thank you so much for those kind words. It was such a pleasure having you all and I look forward to seeing you back here again in the not too distant future and tasting more of that wonderful New Orleans food you so generously cooked for us Adam.

I stayed with Mary one night and she was a lovely lady, making a lovely breakfast as well as collecting and dropping me off at my meeting place, and driving me to the shops. She made me feel very welcome and the room was cosy, comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend staying here. Thanks again,

We spent three nights with Mary as part of our trip round Ireland. It was totally delightful. Mary made us so welcome and nothing was too much trouble for her. She drove us to the bus stop each morning, even stopping off at the laundry service for us to collect our clean clothes. Breakfast was amazing, and all home-produced.
We have kept in touch with Mary, and we now consider her a friend. We exchanged family details and anecdotes, and I would thoroughly recommend her homestay to everyone. We will certainly be back.
