All good

Great place to stay

It’s not a dislike but more information on how things worked would be helpful. We could not find the switch to turn off the bathroom light and the window in that room did not open.

Fantastic location. Really interesting place to stay. The boat was very clean and the fact the fire was lit before we arrived was a lovely touch.

I don't have anything to add here, a barge is a different type of accommodation and usually would attract a certain type of person and perfection is not usually a criteria.

Róisín Dubh is well presented and has everything needed and is quirky and fun. Location worked very well for my purposes and being on a barge made it into a fun experience different to regular accommodation despite being January - the stove and heating system work very well.

Quite a few steep steps on the boat, which I maybe should have expected, but I didn't. The toilet flushing was not always an enjoyable experience but we got there in the end 😊 Only comfortable seating for 3. And there were four of us.

Great to have a different experience on a canal boat. A good heating system and wood burner stove added some nice atmosphere along with making the boat warm. Comfy beds and plenty of hot water. Good eating places nearby.

Nothing.

A lovely relaxing stay on the houseboat with great wi-fi and good facilities. Paddle boarding was possible along the canal. Parking was easy and our little dog loved it too. There is a handy supermarket a few minutes walk away (Lidl) and The Railway Inn around the corner has excellent Guinness.

Perfect location for us. Loved the bike trip and novelty of staying on a barge. Kids loved it.

Toilet usage was difficult for us. We ended up avoiding using the toilet and going out to the pub across the way to use their facilities. This could’ve been our lack of understanding of the marine toilet though.

We loved the uniqueness of this accommodation! They allowed us to utilize the canoe and offered a bike trip. The location was great because it was close enough to Dublin but within a wonderful small town.

Lovely houseboat in nice area.

The only fault we had was there was no curtains to cover all windows as one of the rooms had no door

Location was perfect, central location and easy access to shops and restaurants

Nothing to dislike!

A great experience with friends to celebrate my 50th! Great location.....Nice restaurants and pubs nearby. Ger's barge was moored right beside houseboat for our trip on the Saturday. Ger himself was very friendly and helpful!

bathroom light didn’t work and a mirror in the living room would have been a help

every thing it was lovely

No electric kettle, it was on the gas hob.

The boat was spotless. Ger's office was very beside the boat. We couldn't get the cooker started, but if we really wanted to, we could have popped into Ger to ask him. I hit my head a couple of times, so be really careful. One bed is really high, so that's a bit scary. Dogs loved it, and we all had a fabulous time. Glad I brought the cards and some other games. Close to some great walks and dog friendly pubs and cafes.

what’s not to like??

everything

Stayed in January 2023

The sheet for the couch bed didn't fit properly as it was too small.

The houseboat was cozy and comfortable. Clean and a fun experience. We loved staying there and the location wasn't too far from Dublin in a quiet area with a great coffee shop just across the street.

The mats in the bathroom were dangerous and we had a bad accident.

Great stay in a unique property on water. Very helpful staff, gave us bikes to use.

The barge was modern, clean and very comfortable. The barge was bigger than expected. All amenities were handy.

Stayed in July 2022

nothing really. the cafe nearby doesn’t open early enough

the novelty of staying on a canal boat.

Stayed in July 2022

The uniqueness of the houseboat. And the facilities it offered exceeded our expectations. An added bonus was the stove onboard. And the fact that we could go out on the water in the canoe was an overall winner

Stayed in June 2022

Not easy to park sometimes.

My friends are from New Zealand and were absolutely delighted with the accommodation. It is different to their usual accommodations and in a nice area..

Stayed in June 2022

We asked for an invoice for being able to prove our stay but did not get it. It would be great if there were a hairdryer.

Great experience to stay in a boat. All was clean, the two rooms and the kitchen / salle de séjour were cosy and comfortable. Almost all necessary things were provided, we felt well.
