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.

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.
