Cute little inn with friendly staff. Small but comfy room. Good option if you want to stay in a village instead of going into Dublin. Bus 41 will get you to the airport in 15 min.

The room was great. It was roomy and had a lot of character. It was fairly quick and fun to check in with the bartender instead of waiting on a clerk in a stale reception area. Everyone we encountered was friendly and efficient. The only bad thing was the bedding. The room was slightly chilly, the way we like it, but there was only a comforter. It was fabulous, but after a while it got too warm and with not even a sheet, we were hot and cold all night. The area's numerous shops were busting with activity, and Swords Castle, a little gem in various stages of reconstruction, was just a few blocks away. There was a shockingly large shopping mall relatively camouflaged in the neighborhood just across the street. It was super quick to get to the pub from the airport and the taxi ride was cheap and friendly. Know that there are just a couple places where you have to traverse a couple stair treads with your luggage. We were traveling light, so it was no big deal. The old lift to get our bags up to the room was a hoot, the inviting stairs were quick and scenic overlooking the beer garden, the food and the ale were delicious and inexpensive, and overall it was a great place to stay on our layover to Rome!
Just a couple stairs up to the door if you take the drive way.
