#### Secret Garden outside Dublin
This is the most beautiful place in the Dublin area we could have imagined. Simply idyllic - you’d never think you were just outside Dublin in this quiet, tucked away garden - 20-30 minute car ride to city centre or catch the train at the end of the driveway. Unbelievably convenient as well as peacefully beautiful. Our kids loved running around the courtyard filled with olive trees, lavender, roses and wisteria. They ate grapes off the vine and apples off Ethna’s tree. We walked to the playground often. The farm next door has a beautiful farm stand on the weekends and we were 5 min from the nearest grocery store. We could have stayed forever!

#### Heerlijk romantisch huis
Het huis ligt op een heerlijk rustige plek, naast een prachtige tuin. De keuken is zeer compleet en alles klopt gewoon. We werden persoonlijk ontvangen wat prettig is.
