We had a brilliant time
We had a brilliant time in the house at Brittas Bay Park. The house was bright, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The house is located in a quite housing area with a tennis court, a lot of space to play Soccer, Hurling and other ball games. The senic South Beach is only 5 min walking distance away.

Best place for Vacation
We felt very comfortable there and enjoyed the peace and quiet, the view, and the comfort of the house!
The laundry and cooking supplies were also exceptionally good. I love good knives for cooking, and I was very happy with the selection!
