A very welcoming, comfortable and spotlessly clean environment! Set in a peaceful, quiet location among the embassies and a short walk to the Irish Sea. Pat and his sweet girls greet us upon arrival (see attached photo) while giving us a tour of the charming property. There’s a cozy library/sitting area with tea and cookies available on the ground floor plus a breakfast room with a view to to lovely gardens. We had a choice of a room on the first floor or 3rd, there are some stairs which we don’t mind and chose the 3rd floor room. Our room was very clean, the bed was comfy and we slept well after a long day of travel. Pat gave us a map and recommended several restaurants which are an easy 15 minute walk away. The Indian restaurant was fantastic, we would highly recommend it as well. Breakfast was delicious, there’s a nice selection from pancakes to smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, yogurt with fruit and house made granola or a traditional Irish breakfast with a variety of meats. All in all a perfect start to our travels in Ireland!…

We were so fortunate to find the Aberdeen Lodge for our visit to Dublin. The lodge is located outside of Dublin central in a quiet little community where families go about their business and lives. The adventurous can walk to Dublin central area if desired, but we purchased the local “leap” cards that can be used on DART train, the local Dublin Bus, and the LUAS rail. The DART station is about a 10 min walk from the lodge. The Dublin Bus stops just a couple of minutes away from the lodge. We used both the DART and Dublin Bus (we tried our trip without a car) and the public transportation system was excellent. You can also us FREENOW app or UBER to get a local taxi if needed. I tried both. FREENOW was a little less expensive (ask driver to avoid tolls if not in a hurry). Very easy to get around without a car from the Aberdeen lodge. As for accommodations...you would be hard pressed to find a more comfortable, relaxing, cleaner and better run inn or lodge in Dublin. Pat and his family (and their exceptional staff!) make their guests feel at home. They are attentive but never intrusive. Pat greeted us upon arrival, asked us to relax in the waiting room/library while staff made us a fresh pot of coffee (with homemade cookies!). He gave us some great details on the area, transportation, local dining options, and more. Very personable attention. And I noticed he took that time with each guest. Our room was on the first level, up one flight of stairs (there is no lift so hopefully your bags are not too heavy). We had very nice room on the back of the house overlooking the garden. Our bathroom had a step in shower which proved very useful for my mother. The staff does a wonderful job of giving the rooms a freshening up each day with clean towels, made beds, coffee and water replenishing, etc., I must say that I am not usually a breakfast eater, but..I would eat breakfast everyday if I had the staff at Aberdeen lodge preparing it. It was simply the best! They offer granola with yogurt and fresh berries..fresh porridge (I could eat the porridge everyday!..and did!) I asked for fruit and honey with my porridge and it was so tasty. They also have fresh pancakes with fruit, poached eggs on toast, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and chives..an authentic Irish Breakfast of bacon, sausage, Black and White pudding, fried egg, I think I tried most of their offerings..start your day off right with their breakfast…you’ll be glad you did. Make certain you include breakfast in your stay…you will be so glad you did. Again, the staff is very attentive and breakfast is so relaxing. There are multiple local restaurants, stores, and bars within a very short 10 to 15 minute walk from the lodge. We enjoyed Indian food, Italian, and an afternoon at the local pub in Sandymount. All very friendly staff and proprietors at these locations. Also, a very nice and relaxing beach path is just about 10 minutes from the lodge. Pat will advise you on all of these locations and activities. Pat and his family and their wonderful staff are doing the hospitality business the correct way…they make you feel welcome and at home and provide all of the comforts to make the best stay possible... ..many in the hospitality business could use some lessons from the Aberdeen Lodge. I am looking forward to our return.…

The Aberdeen Lodge in Sandymount, Dublin is quite possibly one of the most welcoming, elegant, and restful B&Bs we have ever stayed in. Pat and his family - and welcoming staff - offer a lovely respite from the urban experience of Dublin. In a shady village just 15 minutes from downtown by bus, or 5 minutes by Dart train, it is the perfect place to stay while exploring the city and its surroundings. Pat welcomes each visitor with an extremely useful brief on the village of Sandymount, transport, local restaurants and pubs, and the latest goings-on in Ireland. The lodge itself is in pristine condition with very comfortable and well-furnished rooms. The breakfast is superb - a wide choice ranging from fresh fruit, granola and local yoghurt to scrambled eggs with Irish smoked salmon, or a full Irish breakfast. All served with smiles by the friendly staff. The surrounding gardens are also beautiful and a good place to spend time with Robin and Sandy, two gentle and fun-loving golden retrievers. A truly sublime place to stay on a visit to Dublin and surroundings. Thank you Pat and crew for a wonderful stay. …

We stayed at Aberdeen Lodge for three nights and the experience was excellent. The location, outside of central Dublin, has local bus service adjacent and the Dart is nearby and within easy walking distance. The facility is charming and comfortable, and our room was clean, spacious and well-appointed. The breakfast menu was varied and excellent and our hosts were friendly and helpful. Couldn't have asked for more.

Stayed here with my husband and can’t say enough how wonderful this place is. It was quiet and very relaxing after our daily tours. The morning breakfast was amazing. When we had an early tour they happily offered to make us a to go box for breakfast since we would be gone beforehand. I highly recommend staying here.

Warm hospitality in a beautiful neighborhood of Sandymount. Owners Anne and Pat have everything covered and available whenever you need something. Food, location, and ambience terrific! Easy to take bus into Dublin or train up and down east coast towns.

It doesn't get much better than sitting at a white table clothed table overlooking a beautiful garden, while enjoying a freshly prepared breakfast all the while watching the 2 romping golden retrievers. The proximity and easy access to the train, ocean, and quaint village was a welcome surprise. Anyone wishing to enjoy a peaceful and tranquil holiday with the quick access to the the downtown area must stay at this establishment!

I'm so glad I decided to stay away from the city center. The city bus and the light rail are very close by and Dublin city is less than 20mins. The village of Sandymount is a charming suburb 5mins walk from the bay and a wonderful walking path. You're a 10mins walk from some nice restaurants, pubs and shops in the village. Hosts Pat and Ann have created a very relaxing homey atmosphere. I traveled Ireland for 3 weeks and Ann's breakfasts were the best by far! I even enjoyed playing ball with their wonderful golden retrievers!

The owners and staff were so nice and friendly. We had the best welcoming and the standards never dropped from there. We had the best nights sleep in comfortable big beds, and it was so quiet in the hotel and area. The breakfasts were so yummy and you get so much at a great quality. Only 20 mins on a bus into central Dublin and the stop is right next to the hotel. They have the cutest dogs Sandy and Robin who we played with in the garden. There’s nothing we didn’t love about this hotel and we will definitely want to come back when we come back to Dublin. We were sad to leave!
