From the moment we stepped into the house, it felt like we're visiting a friend. We received a very warm welcome by the owner, Jack. Not only was the whole check-in process smooth, but he also gave us a detailed tour of his beautifully decorated house. It was a nice surprise to find out that a complimentary breakfast (including pastries, toast bread, Irish butter, jam and orange juice) would be available each morning, while not being conditioned by a strict timing. Coffee was also available and it was delicious. Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable and we managed to get some good rest after a tiring day of visiting from morning till late in the evening. It was a pleasure to stay at Avoca House! Can't recommend it enough!

This charming B&B was the perfect retreat. The furnishings were tasteful and cozy, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel instantly at home. Jack, the owner, was incredibly attentive, helpful and understanding. Mornings started with a delightful continental breakfast, which we enjoyed in the dining room with other travellers. There is also a lovely outdoor space - which is a true highlight of the property. It’s ideally located just outside the city, so you’re close enough to go and explore as you wish, without being caught in the hustle and bustle. The rooms are clean, comfortable and very quiet. The bathrooms are small but perfectly functional and modern. Jack has thought of everything - with tea and coffee cups in your room, chargers, the wifi code clearly displayed, etc etc. A peaceful, comfortable stay that I’d happily return to!

Many thanks to the owner of the premises, his entire family and the service staff for our excellent vacation!!! Everything is incredibly clean and cozy! The room was warm and we found everything we needed. The location is very convenient: 5-10 minutes to any bus stop - both to the center and to the airport. The highlight of this premises is probably its owner: this person sincerely tries to create maximum comfort for you!!! A wonderful country with its wonderful people!!! P.S. It's really cool that there is a booklet in the room where you can choose an entertainment in Dublin and pay for it: that's how we visited the Guinness Beer Museum! We also recommend it!

We liked everything. Our host Jack was very welcoming, helpful and interesting to speak with. Our bedroom was luxurious, very clean, the bed was very big and super comfortable, with two types of pilows. We apreciated cups and kettle in our room and also the charger for smartphones. In the room is everything you need - small and bigger towel, hairdryer, shapoo and soap. The breakfast was perfect, three types of cofee, orange juice, croissants, ham, cheese, butter, granola etc. As a guest you can also sit in the very cosy living room or terrace/garden. In the corridor was little basin with drinking water from mountains. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

Jack, our host was etremely professional in running us through the workings of the B & B with regards to breakfast, nearby pubs for evening meals, transport connections to the Dublin central etc etc and we enjoyed chatting to other guests in extremely comfortable surrounds however, more importantly, he was incredibly helpful in sorting out a car rental problem that we encountered when arriving in Dublin from Croatia. He went into overdrive in sourcing alternative company(s) for us to then investigate an apprpropriate deal and I can't thank him enough for his input in regards to this matter. From a very average start at Dublin International airport re the car rental problem to a wonderful stay all came down to Jack's help and local knowledge.

Nothing as everything from being greeted at the door on arrival by Jack and Chilli, a miniature pomeraniun to departing 3 days later was absolutely top shelf.

Charming B&B outside Dublin City center. Self-serve breakfast was lovely. Good coffee, brown bread, egg cooker with cheeses and meats in the self-serve fridge. Lots of cereals and plenty of butter and jam for bread. The room was clean and the bed very comfy. Updated bathroom with shampoo and shower gel available. Great hair dryer. Jack was a warm and informative host with recommendations for traditional Irish music and food nearby. 20 minute walk into the city center was easy. This is a terrific option if you want to be in Dublin but away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Wonderful stay for 2nd time. Great host, great location and very comfortable bedrooms and help yourself to breakfast very much appreciated. Have a further two trips booked.

Jack and Audrey were incredible hosts first off! Jack went over and beyond in terms of his friendliness, his amazing hospitality and his beautiful house. He even personally drove us down towards our concert venue as he knew I was struggling with my knee. We were genuinely thrilled with all aspects of our stay. The warmest of welcomes, the incredibly comfortable huge bed, a fabulous rainfall shower room, and a great location a short walk from Croke Park. You really couldn’t ask for more, thank you so much Jack and Audrey. We would return in a heartbeat.

Absolutely nothing!

The coffee machine was a bit difficult to figure out but the coffee was excellent in the end. Early accessibility was appreciated as we had to meet an early tour departure in the city centre. The dining room was beautiful although crowded.

The food offerings were very basic and the baked goods were not fresh. The dining room was small and different to seat more than just a few although three were chairs around the large table for 6. Perhaps a smaller table for 4 would be better.

The host was kind and helpful. He even carried my suitcase up two flights of stairs to my room when I arrived, which I really did not expect, and he gave me a ride down the street to help spare me from getting soaked in the downpour that sadly lasted the entire morning of my departure. He also gave me suggestions on nearby for a bite to eat where I might avoid the football fans, who were everywhere the day I arrived. That restaurant was closeby and the food was good. Avoca House, including my room, was quiet, spotless and comfortable. Breakfast is self serve and had basic lunch meats, cheese, marmelade, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice (all kept in the refrigerator of the breakfast area). You could make your own soft-boiled egg in a little egg warmer. Guests should spend some time walking around the gorgeous, peaceful neighborhood Avoca House is in. The houses and gardens are really splendid, as is the patio area of Avoca House. Avoca house is away from most of the action in Dublin, but easily reachable by bus, though be aware that the bus stops are not announced in English on the bus. You need to follow where you are using Google maps. I walked into the city both days I was there. There were plenty of places to stop and look, take pictures, etc.and I'm not sure how long walking directly into the city would take. In Dublin, I recommend the Chester Beatty museum, which might not be on everybody's list, but is beautiful and has a nice exhibition. I also appreciated seeing art by Irish artists at the National Gallery and loved the short visit I made to the National Museum of Archeology. Museums in Dublin are free so don't spend all your time shopping for wool sweaters and drinking Guinness!

Turned out not to be a problem for me but the attic room can get really hot when the windows have been closed. The roof windows open and during my stay there was enough breeze that the room cooled off fine in about 5 minutes. The hosts also have put a large fan in the room which I didn't use. I'm fine without air conditioning, but I know some don't do well without it. The view out those windows when they are open, by the way, is lovely.
