The Nook County Dublin

*THE NOOK IS FOR PAYING GUESTS ONLY - NO PARTIES/GATHERINGS*

Nestled in the foothills of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains The Nook is an ideal escape for couples, families or solo business travellers who want a country setting with easy access to Dublin City and all it has to offer.

- Prime location, Dublin city-centre (30 mins), Airport (35 mins)
- Accommodates 5 guests + extra bed/crib option
- Access to a full private tennis court (rackets/balls provided)
- Free parking in a gated setting for 2 CARS MAX.
- Fully stocked kitchen, washer & dryer facilities
- Recently added WFH Office Space for remote working.

The Nook is a very unique property in that it is surrounded by beautiful countryside and set on 2.5 acres of gated garden yet only 30 mins from the city centre and 35 mins Dublin airport via the M50.

Local places of interest include the seaside town of Bray, Shankill village, Dalkey village, Dun Laoghaire harbour, Killiney hill, Glendalough National park, Powerscourt Estate & Gardens, and Jonnie Foxs' pub to name but a few. An extensive guidebook with recommendations for all these places is provided upon arrival.

Guest Access:
The Nook adjoins a large family home however guests have access via a private entrance and are provided with the code for the electric gates. Private internal access includes the living room, kitchen, two large upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms and a garage with private laundry facilities. External access includes the garden space as shown in the photos and private tennis court. We ask that you respect our privacy and garden area surrounding the main house. If you would like to see the rest of the garden, greenhouse or vegetable patch please notify Daniel and he will arrange a tour.

The Dogs:
We have two very friendly dogs, Ben a golden retriever and Kenny a ruby king Charles who like to wander the grounds and interact with guests. They are wonderful with children however we ask that particularly young children are supervised in their company. If for whatever reason you are not comfortable with dogs please notify Daniel and he will ensure they are kept away from The Nook.

First-hand recommendations:
A helpful guest book full of recommendations regarding local supermarkets, pubs restaurants, and places of interest is provided upon arrival.

Absolutely excellent!
Staying at The Nook was an absolutely excellent start to our Ireland adventure. It was the perfect place for us to stay while exploring Dublin and the surrounding areas. The accommodations are perfect for two or three couples, and we found the setting in the countryside to be ideal vs. staying at a hotel in Dublin. And Daneil was great to work with. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect Stay In Ireland
The Nook is a perfect VRBO. It had everything we needed for our 6 night stay in Ireland. A bonus for sure was having the ability to wash/dry clothes. Daniel, was very efficient with communication and we had no problems with check-in and check out. The place has plenty of room and allowed us all to spread out be very comfortable.

Couldn't have been better!
Five of us stayed at Daniel's place for a couple of nights at the end of our Ireland trip. This was easily the nicest place we stayed throughout our 2-week trip. The Nook was clean and comfortable, and (unlike every other place we stayed) had sufficient hot water for all of us to shower. The area and grounds are beautiful and the proximity to Dublin city can't be beat. Their pup Ben was an added bonus, we loved running into him and showering him with pets! We hope to stay again on our next trip, and absolutely recommend it if you're looking for a place near Dublin!

Beautiful Property, Beautiful Neighborhood
The property was even more lovely than the pictures. The rooms were very large, and the garden was beautiful. Daniel was very easy to contact, and extremely accommodating. My son got sick during the flight there, so he was gracious enough to let us check in a little early. We were a little cold, but got much cozier when we remembered to turn on the fireplace.

Perfect hideaway for those with cars.
An attractive and spacious "nook" in beautiful surroundings just outside Dublin. For visitors with a car, the secure gated parking and easy access to the city is perfect. Communication with Daniel was quick and clear. Recommended.
