First proper holiday in two years, and we really needed it. Arrived at Dublin International Airport at an obscenely early hour shortly after 5am. Couldn’t go to our B&B that early so after collecting our luggage and clearing customs, we had a nice coffee and relaxed a bit. A taxi brought us to our B&B, Azalea Lodge, where we seemed to have woken our host, Padraig, up, or at least caught him before he was ready for the morning. He was in good spirits though and welcomed us. It was only about 7 or so, and we were hoping to drop our luggage off. As luck would have it, our room was vacant and ready. Padraig offered us early entry so we could take a nap. Woke after an hour or two ready to see the sights. Padraig’s wife, Bernadette, greeted us on our way out and was very helpful with bus information and was able to sell us a family bus pass for the day. After a full day of walking around Dublin, we were sure happy to get back to our comfortable room at the B&B. Breakfast the next morning was perfect. The rates were very good for Dublin. would definitely stay here again. Padraig and Bernadette are great hosts!
