Near airport
We were surprised that this stay was just bed rooms. We didn't know that from the VRBO listing. It was very clean and adequate for our family of seven. We were surprised that we had no cooking facilities. Ciara was a fine host.

Keine Unterkunft vorhanden
Drei Tage vor der Anreise bei der Vermieterin nach der Adresse gefragt. Daraufhin erstattete sie uns einen Teil der Kosten zurück, weil sie nicht mehr gelistet ist. Sie ist davon ausgegangen, dass wir bereits von fewo-direkt informiert wurden. Daraufhin mehrmals versucht mit fewo-direkt Kontakt aufzunehmen. Leider keine Rückmeldung erhalten, auch nicht zum fehlenden Restbetrag.

Do not recommend
Description of home and accommodations is very misleading. All bedrooms (including the host family and daughter) are all upstairs. One room did not come with a key to lock the door. The TV in the daughters room was played very loudly. The description said friendly cat and dog, which they were but the dog barked throughout the night and one of the guest bedrooms smelled of cat pee. The lockbox to the house was broken and we were not given our own key. We were told to call or text them an hour before we expected to be back so someone would be there to open the door. There was no main sitting room so we had to stay in our rooms. We checked in early (2hours) and were told that check in was strictly 6pm. They let us in but they could have told us we were early and we would have waited. All of our other accommodations in Ireland were very pleasant and flexible on check in times. Overall if you are comfortable sleeping in a room next to your hosts bedroom, don’t mind terrible screaming coming from a nearby park, barking dogs (but friendly), and having to plan your coming and going then this is the place for you. We left after one night and found a hotel.

Great place for a quick stay in the country
Darling house in Ballyboghil. Only about 15 min. from the airport. Host was wonderful and so nice. Our bedrooms were large and nice and comfy. Big bathroom was nice. A good place to stay if you just need a room for the night close to the airport and out of the city.

From beginning to end Ciara went above and beyond for us; from recommendations, getting us a ride to the airport through a local cab service, to even mailing out postcards. Thank you for hosting us in your family home.

Nur für eine Nacht ohne Verpflegung zu empfehlen
Das Haus liegt in einer Wohnsiedlung. Die Zimmer befinden sich im ersten Stock zwischen Gästen und Familienangehörigen. Toilette wird sich mit Gästen aus dem Flur geteilt. In den Zimmern ist Abfall und Krimskrams von den Vermietern und Gästen in den Nachttischen und Kleiderschränken. Kleidung unterzubringen ist unmöglich. Kein TV in den Zimmern. Matratzen mit Knöpfen - sehr unkomfortabel. Wer nur spät abends eine Übernachtung benötigt, ok. Hund und Katze im Haus. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich.

The property was excellent; we found a warmth in the husband, but cold from his wife. You have this venue counted as a bed and breakfast, but the wife refused flatly to give us breakfast. You need to tone them up.

We started our Ireland adventure here and ended it here. It is a lovely home, comfy beds and our host was amazing. There is a great neighborhood pub nearby and only a skip away from downtown Dublin.

The people were really kind and shared several different places we could visit. The town was really cute and just far enough away from Dublin to make us feel as if we were in the country.

Location close to airport
We were greeted at the door with lots of helpful advice for our flight the next day. The airport was 15 min away. The rooms were very nice with comfortable beds for our family of 4. We shared a bathroom with our family but it was strictly for the guests. I appreciated the little things like a pitcher of water and candies in the rooms. We would stay again if we visit Ireland!

We had an excellent stay in Ciara and Sam’s home during our visit to Ireland. Thoroughly enjoyed both their home and the Irish country side. We are planning a longer vacation to Ireland and would definitely come back to Ciara and Sam’s home. Thank you Sam for your hospitality!

Be prepared to not have the house to yourself
Great people and clean place but it was not clear to me that we would have only 3 bdrms no kitchen, no living room or sitting area and one bathroom for 5 people and we were upstairs with one of their children and the family is in the house. I'm still giving four stars because it's not their fault, I must not have read clearly enough.
