Our visit to Quince Cottage was delightful. Conveniently located just a few blocks from the luas, Quince cottage combines the quiet of the suburbs with the easy commute to the city. Brendan and Paula made us feel at home. The breakfast was wonderful and the brown bread is superb. If you are looking for somewhere quiet yet with easy access,... More

We stayed with another couple that had been to Quince before and had been impressed with the place. On arrival we could not have been made more welcome by Brendan and Paula who immediately got to work on copying directions to the nearest Luas station and the Aviva stadium (to see those wonderful Ulstermen triumph in the Heineken semi-final). Off... More

It has been said before, but Quince Cottage is just outstanding. Brendan, Paula and Niamh go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The rooms are perfect and the breakfast is incredible (go for the full Irish with Brendan's brown bread!). Yes it's got the LUAS (light rail system) stop close by, with easy access to town and...

Brendan and Paula's B&B has been well reviewed but I can't help but add another glowing recommendation. We stayed a short weekend and it was not long enough. We spent a long day Saturday in Dublin center seeing the sites and all we wanted to do upon our return to the cottage was rest. It is such a cozy atmosphere... More

Extremely warm welcome received. Felt so at home. The room (studio) was beautiful and very comfortable indeed. The location was very close to the LUAS (5mins walk) that takes u into the centre of the city (st Stephens green). Can't wait to come back to Ireland and stay at Quince Cottage again! More

We had an amazing stay at Quince Cottage. An excellent and very warm welcome was provided by Brandon with fresh tea and scones. We were a bit tired and wet from hiking in the Wicklow Mountains, so that is a welcome we'll never forget. The rooms were bright, spacious and confortable. Brandon and Paula went out of there way, making... More

We booked with Quince Cottage for our first 2 nights in Ireland and it was the best start to our trip. We were greeted warmly (even though we were early) and offered tea and coffee and something to eat. Our room was ready and we were happy to freshen up after a long flight. Brendan was happy to talk with... More

I chose Quince Cottage from reviews on Tripadvisor and definitely were not disappointed with my choice. Brendan welcomed us with a cup of tea and delicious cake which was much appreciated after a day of driving. We stayed in the "Studio Apartment" and it was a delight to come home to each day. Breakfast was wonderful and a great start... More

Location is less than a 5 minute walk from LUAS and grocery store. The LUAS is a 20 minute ride in to St Stephens Green. Brendan was fantastic. Picked us up from the LUAS on our first night in and dropped us off at one of the restaurants close by the same night. He is so friendly and full of... More
