Colm and Vera are by far the best hosts I've ever had. It does not feel like being in an accommodation, it feels like home. The care they bring forward to the guest is outstanding. The helpfulness is overwhelming. Vera and Colm are very friendly and always up for a chat, and are never short on a recommendation for anything. The room and bathroom is spacious, clean and well equipped. The neighbourhood is quit and very nice as well. All in all, I would come back every time and would never worry about a thing when staying with Colm and Vera.

Had the most welcoming of stays and made to feel at home. Colm and his family were good crack and so down to earth. Room was spot on and bed was so comfy I didn't wanna get out of it in the morning.....look forward to staying again in the future if available and thanks for having me :)

Colm and Vera were great hosts! They helped me all the time with whatever I had to do and made my stay in Ireland much easier. Leixlip is good located as well. You can go to Dublin by bus or train and to Maynooth by bus or (like me) cycle there using the beautiful royal canal. I really enjoyed my stay with them and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to go to Maynooth or Dublin.

Colm and Vera went out of their way to make my husband feel right at home. It was a last minute scramble for us to book a place and they made it seamless. I cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Candice. We were happy to be able to help you out and it certainly was our pleasure to have Darren stay with us. Pity we couldn’t match Valencia’s weather though!!

Stayed here for 1 night and was a perfect homestay. Ideal location for my girlfriends one day course in Maynooth.
