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.

Nice place to stay

It is a bit of a walk to downtown Dublin but a nice quiet location with a kitchen, living room and two great bedrooms. This stay was a very good choice for us.

Great place

We loved our time here! The taxi driver had a hard time finding it but william sent me detailed instructions before we arrived so i was able to tell the taxi driver how to get to the property. We loved the location. We loved being right by ringsend park. We walked to and from city center every day, it took about 40 mins but we loved it.

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.

Unique dockland cottage

We had a great time at the dockland cottage. It is well equipped with towels, bedding and kitchen stuff. We spend almost a week there and enjoyed Dublin. Billy, the host, was excellent. Thank you

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.

Lovely, cosy cottage

Billy’s cottage was a haven. Our luggage took 3 days to arrive but the cottage and the docks were wonderful. It’s quite a walk to the centre of Dublin, we sometimes ubered which made it very easy (NB - eirecode is very important as the cottage isn’t easy to find otherwise). But would love to stay again and heartily recommended.

Unique Rental in Dublin

The property is very unique in that it was built in the 1800s and is beautifully outfitted inside. It does have steep stairs up to the bedroom, so I don't recommend it for older people or people with mobility issues. Owner is honest and responsible.

Amazing location and amazing rental...

Myself and my three daughters loved it...the Ringsend and Irishtown neighborhoods are terrific...many pubs and restaurants within walking...I walked each day into the city center, which I logged as 2.29 miles through the gorgeous Ringsend Park. If you want public transportation the S2 is an easy option - if you can walk a bit but dont want to walk the entire way to City Center - the C1 and C2 at the Irishtown stop is the fastest way to go. My daughters loved the rental - it was close enough to the city without it being in the city. Thank you Billy!

Little house in Ringsend

Small house with all necessary items. William is a little bit chaotic but fair. We arrived and the house was not cleaned and with old bedding from before. We found the new bedding and towels after a call to the renter. We got a small discount. The location is a little bit far away from Temple bar. But their is a bus and Taxis are also not so expensive.

Great stay

This place is exactly as advertised. Well kept property, easy access. The garden was nice with fruit trees. We bought a LEAP pass for trains and buses and property was well located to access them. As noted, a 10 minute walk through the Ringsend park took us to a main busline on Irishtown rd with many options. A 20 min walk to Aviva Stadium got us to the train and an easy trek to Howth. I recommend the TFI Live app which was very helpful. I would not drive in the downtown. The Merry Cobbler was also just through the park and we had an excellent meal. The local tesco express was smallish, but well stocked. When we left for the airport we pre-booked a cab through Lynk. They asked if they could use the tunnel (8euros?) and it took under 15 minutes on an early Monday morning.... wow! It is across the street from a working container ship yard - it was interesting to watch - we left windows open and did not find it disruptive. There is a local rowing club down the street as well and they store boats next door. Thx for the stay.

Issues we had

Cabbies had hard time finding our accomodations. We sent several emails to Billy about our access and fact that there were three of us and we only had two sets of towels. We had a partial roll of toilet paper for 5 days. When Billy finally called a neighbor of ours to come over with her phone we finally had info on where towels were. Never toilet paper. A neighbor loaned us towels and gave us toilet paper. Billy chewed me out for not answering his calls. We were in airplane mode and not accepting calls. I have only communicated with Billy via email for months prior to our date of arrival. Billy wanted us to have someone at the accomodations for an afternoon during our stay. I told Billy, via email, we had plans for our entire stay and we could not wait around for a repair man. We were having issues with washerdryer and had requested step by step instructions. Never received them. I would not recommend these accomodations. We took pictures on arrival and too photos before we left too.

This cottage was exactly as-pictured and described. A truly unique gem hidden away in the docklands which served as a wonderful home-base during our Dublin adventures. The host was very responsive and courteous and check-in was seamless. As with other comments, the location is unique and can be a bit tricky to find, but the instructions are clear and everyone seemed to find us just fine (I wish we had had more time to explore the docklands area more on foot, it looked so interesting). Once we mastered the bus system, it was an easy travel to downtown either on the new S2 bus or through the park to the other lines in Ringsend village and we felt safe walking to and from bus stops. Billy’s guidance and recommendations were fantastic. The beds were comfortable and the cottage was clean and tidy.

The cottage was great and very charming. The location is just not very close to any restaurants or other city activities. It is very easy to get a taxi/uber so that’s a plus. You can also walk to many fantastic areas in Dublin but each walk is 30/40 minutes or more to get to some of the more popular areas (local city bus and train stops are within walking distance). Also, it is right next to the port harbor where they load ships so it can be a little noisy at times. This is still a very good option for staying in Dublin even with these caveats. The decor is excellent and it has all the amenities that travelers need.

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.

Walking home - I believe the 3rd chimney from the left belongs to the cottage.

Old Coast Guard station from the sidewalk.

Interessantes Haus mit guter Ausstattung

Im Vorfeld wurde alles gut beschrieben und den Schlüssel konnten wir der Schlüsselbox entnehmen. Das Haus war sauber, abgesehen von der vollen Geschirrspülmaschine mit verschmutztem Geschirr. Das kann passieren und beeinflusst unsere Bewertung nicht. Die Fenster halten die Außengeräusche vom ab und zu betriebenen Containerverladeplatz gut ab. Auf der Straße vor dem Haus gibt es fast keinen Verkehr. Ins Zentrum sind es ca. 4km, die wir gelaufen sind. ÖPNV gibt es in der Nähe. Parkplatz im Innenhof konnten wir auch mit unseren California T6.1 nutzen.

Geschmackvoll eingerichtet und doch leider nicht wie erwartet: nicht sehr sauber, überraschend industrielle Lage. Leider nur zwei Sessel und daher ungemütlich für mehr Personen. Keine Steckdosen im Bad, kein Kleiderschrank, um Kleider aufzuhängen. Drucker und Pool in Beschreibung, aber nicht vorhanden - es gab nur ein paar Tage einen aufblasbarer Kinderpool. Vermieter antwortete schnell - aber nicht auf Fragen nach Drucker und Pool. Das Verhältnis von Preis und Leistung für uns absolut nicht stimmig, leider zu teuer für das Gesamterlebnis - wir hatten in London eine tollere und günstigere Unterkunft. Daher leider die erste Enttäuschung mit Vrbo / Fewo-Direkt in vielen Jahren.

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
