Riverside relaxation

Beautiful home on River Dodder, perfect for a vacation in Ireland (kid-friendly with rockers, cribs, playmats etc. if needed).

We're looking to host families like us and I'm afraid we're not interested in bookings from groups of friends. The space Relax and unwind in this stunning riverside property. Looking out over the river Dodder and a bank of trees which stretch the length of the road on the far side of the river you’ll instantly feel at home in this wonderful location. At each end of the road are large parks with beautiful walks, Bushy park, in particular, has great amenities with tennis courts, football pitches, woodlands, and lakes for you to enjoy. Commuting is a breeze, with ample off-street parking and good bus routes that take you straight into town or indeed to the airport you’ll have no problem getting around.

The Dublin mountains are a 15 minute drive or you could head east to Sandymount beach again in around 15 minutes. From there jump on a DART (train) and explore the whole coast.

The garden is large and tranquil. It's a great place to sit and enjoy the sun, read a book or enjoy a drink or two. There are strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries and rhubarb so you're welcome to pick from the garden and bake something nice if you want. If you're driving there's great access out to the M50 and on to all the main motorway routes and we have off-street parking for two to three cars.
