We had a lovely stay in this house full of character. The location is great for reaching central Dublin but you still feel removed from the hustle and bustle. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with all we needed to cook. Billy was a fantastic host and was really helpful when we required a late check out.

It was just as described but also had a super awesome book collection! If you stay here, consider walking out to the lighthouse. It took us a bit to figure out the heat since there is an on/off switch to the whole setup, but that is something most people probably would have figured out quicker than we did. It was a beautiful place, and walkable to bus and train which we used instead of driving. The host was very responsive as well. We would love to visit again!

William was a great and accommodating host! The property is charming and is perfect for two travelers. Despite being next to a shipyard, it’s very quiet. Beds were comfortable, place was clean, and we were grateful to have a spot to cook ourselves dinner. We also enjoyed the decor of the home and the large collection of books. Although it was not a problem for us, travelers should note that this property is not in Dublin city center and requires you to commute 30 min via bus into the city. The benefit of it being removed from the city is that it’s not in a busy neighborhood and is very quiet!

My friend and I had a wonderful week at the Dublin Horse Show and Billy’s place was great! The first night we both slept 10 hours - that’s how comfortable the beds are.We walked (or took the bus) to the show @ RDS everyday, walked into Dublin proper (O’Connell St area), and drove to Dalkey to jump in the sea at Forty Foot, and back down later for dinner. We loved the cottage, the location and the history of it all so much. Billy is a perfect host with quick friendly communication, and we’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

We had trouble finding the appartment on first go. My navigators (wife and 2 daughters )were yelling directions because my ears were plugged from flight. There are 2 Pigion House Roads separated by a toll roadIf you do not put 74 in the directions it will bring you to the other Pigeon House Rd.Once we got that straight the accomadation were what we needed. Taxis came within 5 mins of putting in order.

The Surprising Pleasure of Staying Next to a Dockyard

The cottage is attractively renovated and cosy. William, the host, was very communicative and helpful before our stay (we needed to add another day, but the cottage was already booked for that day, so William found a nearby hotel with availability for us). Useful things for guests to know: 1) Uber/taxi drivers may have a hard time finding the address. It helps to tell the driver that it's around the corner from Deeke's Diner and facing one side of the dockyards; 2) Ask William to check the inventory of necessities (we had to immediately go out and buy toilet paper); 3) the narrow stairs may present a challenge to anyone with impaired mobility, so be aware of that issue; 4) despite being right next to an active dockyards, it's a quiet location and it was fascinating to watch the freight loading activities; 5) the cottage is in an out-of-the way corner of the city but is only a 6 minute walk to the bus stop. We used the bus to travel into the city regularly; and 6) we highly recommend Khushee, a wonderful Indian restaurant in Sandymount.

Place was okay for 2 people but there was 4 of us with no place to sit for 2 people. Beds said queen very small queens. Location was not easy access to downtown- previous comments were Uber was inexpensive- not true each Uber ranged from 25 to 35 one way. Could have used the train but 15 walk in pouring rain. Password provided for wifi was not correct. Ended up calling owner said the system had just been changed he wasn’t sure of the new one. Finally figured it out on our own. Backyard was overgrown not usable on the nice day we had while there. Would be a great place for a couple that wanted to close themselves off for a few days but not for more than 2 people who wanted to see the sites. Toll bridge fee a couple of times with Uber and taxi. No garbage cans/bags anywhere? None in the bathroom or kitchen. Bathroom had 2 small towel racks for hand towels but nothing for bath towels-no bathroom cabinets for toothbrush shampoo etc…so you had to carry everything up to your room. Just okay not a Wow I was expecting

Cute cottage

The cottage is very cute and well renovated. Despite this there are a few niggles I'm afraid! It is right alongside the docks so can be pretty noisy with the cranes going at all hours - ok if you're sleeping in the back room or a heavy sleeper but worth being aware of this if you're not!There are only 2 easy chairs in the lounge area - it's a shame there's a second table instead of more comfy seating as city breaks are so tiring. We had to take turns in sitting comfortably which nobody really wants! I've given three stars for cleanliness as I'm afraid the bathroom fell short of our expectations in this respect. There was a constant sewerage smell which wasn't very pleasant. There was no bin and the soap provided was a grubby hard coal tar soap already used by previous guests to wash goodness knows where - most unhygienic :( It would have been nice and cost hardly anything if the owner had left some milk and teabags. After walking with our luggage from the tram to the house we were desperate for a cuppa but were left very disappointed - with the nearest shop is quite a walk away we just couldn't bring ourselves to turn out again! All in all our stay was pleasant enough but could have been a five star one with some thought for the guest experience.

A Step Back in Time with Modern Amenities

We arrived at this charming and quaint cottage after a long flight. Billy, the host, was kind, accommodating and communicated via the messaging app. He gave clear and detailed instructions about the appliances and features in the home, and gave and helpful hints about transit and restaurants and pubs nearby. The cottage itself was so cool! I loved the variety of books on the bookshelf and the decor was eclectic and calming. The beds were comfortable as was the cottage. The location is excellent, close to buses and within walking distance to the city centre. The stairs were steep, which is something to keep in mind if travelling with older folks/people with mobility issues. We had trouble figuring out the shower, but that was likely operator error. I’m thankful this is the first place we stayed on our trip; it set the tone for a marvellous adventure.

Wonderful place

We absolutely loved this place. It's very charming and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. Beds were very comfortable.The location is interesting. It's about a 15-minute pleasant walk to the nearest shops, which wasn't a problem for us. Even though it's across the road from a large active shipping port, noise was never a problem at all. The neighbors were quiet as well. It was a nice haven after busy days exploring the city.The next time we visit Dublin we'll definitely try to stay here. In an ideal world I'd take an extra few weeks to explore Billy's remarkable library.

Cute, Quiet spot on a Busy Weekend

I stayed in this lovely cottage on St. Paddy's Weekend with three other friends. During such a busy time, this place was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood which was a nice break at times. The host was very communicative and helpful beforehand and during our stay which we appreciated! Overall, if you're looking for a great option on a busy weekend, I would highly recommend it!

Close to centre and comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay here. I like the quiet location, but yet close enough to the city centre that we could walk. We'd walk to the Dockland shop area for breakfast, then continue walking into the city centre for our destinations. We also found it to be a safe location. Maybe all of Dublin is, but even the neighbors reassured us. The house itself was perfect, nice bedrooms, and living space. No couch, and tiny TV, but we didn't come to Dublin for that :) Also, the garden was not in bloom, so the photo shows differently than online. I'd still stay here again, having parking in Dublin so we could take day trips further out was easy.

Great little bungalow on the coast of Dublin

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. The host was responsive to messages and allowed us to check in early, which was very gracious. He said he had communicated with housekeepers and it was ready to go. Upon arrival, there was a pile of laundry in the entrance and the beds were stripped of sheets. We chalked this up to miscommunication and the price of checking in early, no problem. The only other issue was we were only given 2 rolls of toilet paper for 3 days, so we had to buy some. However, these issues were small and not a big deal. Overall, the accommodations were lovely and cozy. We so enjoyed sitting by the fireplace and the coastal location. The house was filled with lots of neat art and more books than you could ever ask for. It was clean and well kept. A great stay overall!
