    The location was well maintained, thoughtfully decorated, and close to the airport. It allowed us to visit Dublin without the noise and rush of the city. Nearby there was a great market with prepared foods, fresh vegetables and a nice wine...

    Everything at Mount Barker was lovely; the room, the kitchen, the dining room and especially the wonderful hosts! There are many wonderful sights and walks just a short drive away! Swords is a fine little town and the Dublin airport is very close.
