About our home
Christmas 2022 - looking for a swap from 26th December for about a week. Preferably in Europe.
Our home is a bright and spacious period house, located in a lively part of the city and only 15 minutes bus journey to the city centre. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, there's plenty of room for families. The house has been lovingly restored so that it retains many of the period features that make this late Victorian home unique, while also enjoying a cozy atmosphere due to high levels of insulation and modern heating. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility of the main living room or sit overlooking the garden in the large kitchen/diner/family room at the back. There's also a family room with with Sky TV, a piano and plenty of games and toys to suit a variety of ages. The kitchen has seating for ten and a wall of glass doors that open fully onto the garden and BBQ patio area.
Upstairs, there are six bedrooms over three floors. The master bedroom has a superking bed, and en-suite with bath and separate shower. Our spare bedroom has a king size bed and an en-suite shower room. Our two sons' rooms each have double beds, and there are single bunk beds in our daughter's room. Finally, our youngest daughter's room has a cot/crib. In addition to the two en-suite bathrooms there is a shower room beside the boys' rooms, and a toilet room on the ground floor.
The rear garden provides opportunities for lively BBQs, relaxation, and children's play (including a trampoline, small slide, football nets and plenty of outdoor toys). We also have two adult bikes with childseats available and kids bikes for ages 3-15. Located between the lively villages of Rathgar and Terenure, there are plenty of restaurants and shops within five minutes walk, and Bushy Park and the Dodder River Park are less than ten minutes walk away.

“We had a wonderful 3 nights in Sandra’s elegant period home. The house was spacious, comfortable , clean and furnished with every convenience . It was located close to local amenities (cafes, shops, parks , bus routes) . A fantastic base to explore Dublin from. Our kids loved the trampoline and the huge selection of books and toys. Sandra looked after our home well and we were delighted with the swap. ”
“We just spent a fantastic week in Sandra House. The house and the location really are a gem!! The location is perfect - just 5 mins from the m50 and a bus stop just down the road for going into the city. The house is absolutely stunning, so comfortable, and so spacious, modern and clean. The kids enjoyed all the toys so much not to mention the club house and the trampoline in the beautiful back garden. The area is really safe and quiet and there are parks and playgrounds nearby which we had great fun exploring. The communication with Sandra was clear and she was always available for advice on the local area or house. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and i would be delighted to do a swap to this house again. I would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants to explore thee Dublin area! ”
“Sandra was a perfect guest! Would be more than happy to host her and her family again!”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Our home is located on a quiet street within five minutes walk of both Terenure and Rathgar villages, two of the oldest neighbourhoods in Dublin which now boast an array of restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets and independent stores. The bus goes from our street to the St. Stephen's Green area of Dublin city centre in 15 minutes, and so visitors can easily enjoy the extraordinarily vibrant social and cultural scenes that define Dublin. Nature lovers can enjoy the Dodder River or Bushy Park within five minutes walk, and both the Dublin and Wicklow mountains are easily accessible by car. The M50 motorway is also within close distance, providing easy access to the airport or visits to the rest of the country. The Dublin coast is truly beautiful and its lovely villages (Howth to the north, Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey to the south) can easily be visited by using the DART (Dublin train) from the city centre. There's no need for a car to enjoy Dublin, but we are open to the idea of visitors using our car too.
