Things To Do

Carrick-a-Rede - National Trust

It’s recommended to book a specific time slot in advance through the National Trust website to cross the bridge, as walk‑up tickets are not guaranteed. This makes for an easy day trip, located about a one‑hour drive from our venue. We also recommend continuing on to Giant’s Causeway, which is just a 10‑minute drive from the rope bridge — an easy and memorable two‑stop outing.

Giant's Causeway

Greencastle Golf Club

Non‑members can enjoy a round for around €50 per round, with carts available if needed. Golfers typically walk the course, making it a beautiful way to soak in the surrounding Irish landscape and greenery. The course is an easy 15‑minute drive from our venue.

Hop On Hop Off Dublin Bus

If you plan to spend a few days in Dublin, purchasing a 3‑day Hop‑On Hop‑Off bus ticket is a great option. The bus conveniently stops at many of Dublin’s major sights, making it an easy way to check off everything on your list without worrying about transportation. Please note that while the bus provides transportation between attractions, you’ll still need to book tickets separately for any sites or activities you’d like to visit. Overall, it’s a very convenient and stress‑free way to get around the city and see it all.

High Tea at The Westbury

Afternoon tea is a fun and much‑loved tradition, and it’s done especially well in Ireland. High tea at The Westbury is a lovely way to slow down, enjoy beautiful surroundings, and experience a classic Irish ritual — complete with tea, sweets, and savory bites. It’s a great option for a relaxed afternoon in Dublin.

Grafton Street

Grafton Street is lively, fun, and full of energy — a must‑stop while in Dublin. This pedestrian street is packed with great shopping, cafés, pubs, and some seriously talented street performers (buskers) that make it feel like a party at all times. It’s perfect for wandering, people‑watching, and soaking up the Dublin vibe — and it’s also a stop on the Hop‑On Hop‑Off bus, making it super easy to visit.

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

The EPIC Museum is engaging, emotional, and incredibly well done. The museum offers an interactive way to explore the resilience and stories of the Irish people through history. Bonus: it’s only about a mile from The Westbury, making it a perfect activity to pair with high tea for a really special afternoon in Dublin.

Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)

A UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is a simple online travel authorization that some travelers need before entering the United Kingdom. If your travel plans include passing through or visiting Northern Ireland (including Derry or Belfast), you may need to complete a UK ETA before your trip. The application is completed online with a quick form that works on all devices, and confirmation is typically received shortly after applying.
