    The location, cleanliness, and friendliness of the hosts were fabulous, I can't comment on this aspect. We stayed here for 3 weeks and everything was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The view and location are excellent, and I recommend it.

  • hi , how much does your shuttle service cost from bus stop to lodge, I'd be travelling by bus and when I get off in monkstown which stop should I get off at? thanks

    The Lodge is only a 10min walk uphill from the bus stop. The stop at The Bosun is preferable. Should you still require to book a shuttle after booking, we can arrange for you. Thanks
