Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Charming, quiet super-comfortable home in the Dublin foothills with parking, garage for your bikes and large (1/2 acre) garden. Lovely patio for alfresco meals (if you're lucky with weather). Officially 1 bedroom but with extra double bed in attic (steep stairs!). Fantastic kitchen for anyone who enjoys cooking. Walk out the front door for lovely country hikes. Fantastic forests and cycling hereabouts. Still just 5 mins drive from nearest supermarket and 17 mins drive from the best Saturday organic market in the country. If you like the outdoors, or being cosy and warm indoors, or to cook, this is the place for you. Full bathroom plus additional guest toilet. Utility room with passive fridge.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

The nearby Massy estate is a mixed woodland beloved of locals and visitors. Ramble for hours through the woodland or by the river and spot sparrowhawks, red squirrels and deer. Also super-close to Pineforest zipit zipline. take a summer dip in the beautiful glaciated lake, Lough Bray, in the Wicklow mountains. Another lovely day out is a trip to Powerscourt House and Gardens (Enniskerry) about 1/2 hour drive - spectacular gardens laid out in the 18th century by Lord Powerscourt and open to the public now for many years (plus cafe with lovely food, plus Irish made textiles, gourmet treats, homewares and more).
