Alvis and Ray were gracious and welcoming hosts for our brief stay in the Dublin area. Alvis' breakfast was delicious and the room was fantastic. The entire place was sparkling clean and we loved the views onto the 2nd hole of Portmarnock Golf Course as well as the horticulture. We appreciated the copies of bus schedules, directions to the airport,... More

We recently spent two nights with Alvis and Ray. They were extremely accomodating and helpful. Directions were provided and any questions we had were cheerfully answered. Alvis even provided change so we could board the local bus to Dublin. The breakfast was great and we certainly did not leave hungry. We would return to this B and B any time... More

The owner, Alvis, was wonderful! :) She was very accomodating to our schedule and gave us fantastic suggestions for viewing in the city and around the area. The bus took us directly into the city. The view from the beach was wonderful. Wish we had more time there so we could have explored Malahide and Portmarnock more. It was a... More

Really enjoyed staying. Very very friendly owners who went above and beyond the call of duty and even drove us to where we were having our training each day so we didnt have to battle through the snow! Great breakfasts each day and very vegetarian-friendly! Highly recommended. More

Alvis is an excellent hostess--warm, friendly and very helpful to someone visiting Portmarnock for the first time. The room had a good bath and was spotless; and it was warm and cozy on a cold, rainy night. The garden leads to the second fairway, but Alvis gave me a ride to the clubhouse with my clubs! Her breakfast was terrific... More
