About this property

A well situated townhome located in the Irish seaside community of Balbriggan, County Dublin. With easy access to transportation to all corners of Ireland, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath lovely townhome sleeps 4 and has all of the comforts of home. The townhome is nestled in a quaint fishing village which has nearby historical sites dating back to the 14th century. The name of the town in Irish is either Baile Bricin, meaning Town of the Small Trout, or Baile Brigin, meaning Town of the Small Hills. Balbriggan was originally a small fishing village where King William of Orange and his army set up their camp after the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. In 1920 the town was burned and looted by the 'Black and Tans' after a Royal Irish Constable was murdered during the 1916-21 War of Independence.

Vacationing in Balbriggan offers a unique opportunity to really get to know the people of Ireland. The neighbors are friendly and very helpful in making your stay a most memorable Irish holiday. You will be within walking distance of everything in town and only steps from the bus and the train which can take you wherever you desire. The airport is 20 minutes away and easily accessible by taxi or bus.

Amazing Seaside Experience

This property was just perfect and exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The property is within walking distance of pubs, cafes and restaurants that are all delicious. We also used public transportation to get to Dublin which is a quick train ride away and the train station is less than a 5 minute walk from the property. Waking up to hearing seagulls every morning was amazing, and the beach being within walking distance was also fantastic. The people of the town were so welcoming we were actually invited to a local GAA game! And told us they want us to come back! It was so amazing and we are definitely going to be back and staying at this home.

best trip ever

The property was beautiful, location was perfect, train was perfect. Visited many towns, Dudlin, Malahide, Skerries, Bray, Howth and Balbriggan, what can I say. People are lovely, friendly and so kind. I wish Tom and I stayed longer. We saw a comedy show at the Lark, It's across the street. We ate at the La-La many times, best seafood chowder I ever ate, it's across the street. I truly could go on forever. Thanks Pamela, Tom and Alice from New Jersey

Very nice and super convenient

We really enjoyed the accommodations, the house is comfortable, the parking is gated and secure, and the location is just around the corner from restaurants, pharmacies, groceries, coffee, and the pubs. You’ve got to try the Lala restaurant just across the street, lovely people and spectacular food. We would definitely stay here again.

Handy location

My husband's family live in Balbriggan, so it was great to find a house close to where they live. We found the heaters very confusing as they would come on for a short while and then turn off and was unable to turn them on manually. The house is close to the centre of town and it was easy to walk to the local hotels and restaurants. It was also great to have off street parking as the street has parking meters.

Unterkunft für Leute, die es rustikal mögen und den direkten Großstadttreiben umgehen möchten

Liebe Pam, wir waren eine Woche (Ende August 2023) in Ihrem Townhouse. Balbriggan ist ein schönes, kleines Städtchen, wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Ein Tip für die Anreise der Gäste mit dem Flugzeug: Sie können den Bus mit der Linie 101 nehmen, ausgestiegen wird direkt in Balbriggan Station Bank of Irland, es bedarf wirklich kein Taxi. Vielen lieben Dank, uns hat Irland und die sehr vielen netten, hilfsbereiten Einwohner wunderbar gefallen.

Schönes, sehr gut gelegenes Townhouse

Dieses typische Townhouse etwas nördlich von Dublin ist ein optimaler Ausgangspunkt, um diese Gegend, die sehr viel zu bieten hat, zu erkunden. Es ist zentral gelegen, nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß zum Strand, zu den Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und auch zum Bahnhof, von wo aus ca. im Halbstundentakt Züge nach Dublin gehen. Das Haus selbst ist gemütlich und ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht. Es gibt bereits im Vorfeld der Reise ein Guidebook, in dem alles Wichtige beschrieben ist, angefangen von der genauen Anfahrt über die Bedienung von Schlüsselsafe, Heizung und sämtlicher Elektrogeräte bis hin zur Info über Einkaufsmöglichkeiten etc.. Alles war super einfach, wir haben uns sofort zurechtgefunden und alles hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Wir haben uns bei Pam sehr wohlgefühlt und können das Townhouse auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

Wonderful, Quiet Home

A great place to come home to after spending time touring the country. Very quick and easy to walk to the efficient train system, ocean, restaurants and grocery. We stayed with our 2 older teen boys and it was perfect, in a lovely part of town, off the Main Street. We felt completely safe walking at any time of the day or night. The home is clean, tidy and efficient. 5 stars in every area and it had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful, fully stocked kitchen, extra linens, etc. There are some items to consider packing or buying prior to arrival that the home does not offer, which state-side VRBO's will usually have. This is not a complaint, just some knowledge to help other travelers. Consider bringing/buying a hair dryer, hand soap, shampoo, body wash, dishwasher detergent, pen/pencil & note paper. Also, depending on your length of stay, and how often you cook meals, you will likely need to buy extra paper towel/napkins & toilet paper. We had 4 people, staying for nearly a week and needed to restock. We will rent this home again, if we get the opportunity to go back to Ireland. We have zero complaints and only praise.

Lage und Ausstattung waren in Ordnung, allerdings war es nicht möglich die Küche ordentlich zu heizen, wir mussten abends wenn wir am Tisch saßen dicke Pullover anziehen, und es fehlten Sitzkissen für die kalten Holzstühle. Schade......

Gemütlich und nahe an Dublin Airport

Dieses typisches irisches Reihehaus ist nett eingerichtet und sehr gemütlich. Durch die Lage nahe am Dubliner Flughafen ist es leicht über die M1 zu erreichen, wobei für den Streckenabschnitt vom Flughafen keine Maut anfällt. Auch die Innenstadt von Dublin ist mautfrei zu erreichen, sofern man die richtige Ausfahrt am Knoten mit der M50 nimmt. Das Bad ist modernisiert worden und im restlichen Haus kann man sich auch sehr wohl fühlen. In der Nähe ist Skerries, ein kleines Fischerdorf. Die Halbinsel Howth mit seinem Fischerei- und Yachthafen und bekannt für die Fish und Chips (Beschoff's) und natürlich andere Fischspezialitäten. In der Nähe liegen die schönen Schlösser Ardgillan und auch Malahide. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Die Abwicklung mit der Agentur HomeAway und der Besitzerin hat auch problemlos geklappt. Pam schätzt es ihre Gäste per E-M@il kennenzulernen, wenn auch durch die Entferung kein direkter persönlicher Kontakt gegeben war.

Balbriggan Review

The property was as described. Very lovely home. It was a home away from home! Everything was very convenient from groceries, transportation, to just walking the town. And the neighbors where very friendly. I would request this home again in a future visit.

About the host

Hosted by Pam McMahon

My husband grew up in Balbriggan and has maintained a strong fondness for his hometown. We have visited Balbriggan many times over the last 40 years with our children, in-laws and friends.

My husband passed away in January of 2016 after a very long illness. Although he had not been able to visit his homeland for a long time, I frequently made the trip and renewed many long time friendships and recalled many wonderful times we had enjoyed together in Ireland.

Why they chose this property

Balbriggan is my husband's hometown. Owning a townhome here has enabled us to frequently visit Balbriggan and see family and friends.

What makes this property unique

When we return to Balbriggan we enjoy going to the local pubs to see our old friends and experience the music and culture of a small Irish town.
