A piece of paradise just north of Dublin
Elgin is a stunning holiday rental which would be suitable for up to ten people, so the two of us and our two dogs were easily accommodated and were very comfortable and hugely relaxed.The extensive grounds were perfect for playing with our boys and Jonothan provided helpful instructions for closing the gates to Elgin as one of our two rescue dogs is prone to “a detailed and wide-ranging exploration” of his environs Closing the gates meant that Elgin’s gardens and the large lawns in front of the tennis court were all safely enclosed, and we could stop fretting about Freddie and enjoy games with them both, so thank you Jonothan, your help was invaluable and much appreciated The house was well equipped with every kitchen appliance you could need, including a dishwasher, and a washing machine and separate tumble dryer.A small library of books was also available and if books aren’t your thing, the house also had full Sky television enabling us to watch our usual UK news and other BBC and Channel 4 output.A huge amount of storage space is available which would make the house particularly suitable for, e.g. a long-term rental for work colleagues, especially as it’s only ten minutes’ drive from Dublin airport and its proximity to Dublin city centre.Thank you Duchamp Properties…we loved Elgin and hope to return
