    Lovely accomodation. Easy access to Dublin but in quieter rural location, close to Swords town. Rooms were beautiful with access to kitchen amenities for help yourself breakfast, anytime. Hosts were friendly and helpful, even helping out with lift into Swords town.

    There certainly wasn't much to dislike. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped.

    A lovely place to stay just north of Dublin; hosts Gillian and Paschal were most friendly, warm and helpful. I recommend Mount Barker 100%.

    For a three day stay would have liked a change of towels. We realise that daily change of towels is seemingly not a guest expectation in England and Ireland but it would add to guest satisfaction.

    Great communication before and during our stay. Gillian and Paschal clearly love what they are doing and quite rightly are very proud of their property. Spotlessly clean throughout. Lovely communal lounge and kitchen. Very comfortable beds and great shower. Lovely fluffy towels freshly laundered. Quiet despite being on busy road Driving distance to Swords and Malahide Excellent safe parking (Access to road can be a bit hairy as it is extremely busy but we managed)

    Nothing.

    The new concept of a shared kitchen with your own fridge and food so that you weren't consigned to set times for breakfast. You could help yourself whenever you decided to get up. Gillian & Pascal are excellent hosts and the room was very clean and comfy. Also great location, close to Airport and just off the motorway.

    Not a downside, but the apartment entrace faces directly towards sideway of a highway and it was just a little hard to find, especially when arriving for the first time at night - also we got out of wrong highway exit two times in a row. Though once you get used to Irish highway system, it gets easier.

    We stayed at this lodge-style hotel for three nights as our base for visiting Dublin and surroundings. The host couple was very friendly and helpful, we were welcomed by large, well-equipped kitchen with small fridge dedicated for each room, filled with lots of breads and irish butter, drinks (milk and juice), fresh eggs and some snacks for on the way. Cereals and coffee/tea also available. Nicely decorated shared dining room. Although the apartment is located right next to an highway, it was always quiet. The bedroom was compact and comfy. Would love to come back again!

    The only thing I would suggest is that (to save any potential waste) you have a bread bin so everyone can share (and not have your own loaf which you may not use it all)

    Well organised, you have your own fridge and you basically help yourself. Have what you want. Nice touch as I had a piece of toast one evening.

    If I had to say anything, just one little tiny detail, we would've liked a larger bath sheet.

    Stunning room, felt like home straight away. Gillian was the best host very accommodating. Once you arrive, you receive a gorgeous breakfast welcome pack in your personal numbered fridge that's a lovely touch, use of beautiful kitchen ( if in the mood to cook), and a well thought out inviting dining area. Very helpful and informative folder in the bedroom to point you in the right direction to Dublin and other places. Beautiful room and fabulous bathroom, shower to die for. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    One area of driveway has bit of a water puddle to avoid or have to drive through. Entering and leaving property from a busy street is a bit challenging, but not readily changeable, just something to be aware of, especially for foreign travelers less comfortable with left hand side driving.

    Very convenient location relative to airport and other suburbs (Malahide). Very conscientious and helpful hostess and super clean, extremely well thought out details. Personal cubbies for our individual guest usage was a great feature (refrigerator, cabinet, shoe storage...). Beautiful home.
