Dublin’s
newest quality hotel, set in the idyllic landscape of the Liffey valley
close to Castleknock Village
and the Phoenix Park. Superb facilities
include a fine restaurant and a stylish café bar, the latter
serving meals and light refreshments throughout the day, excellent
parking, leisure centre with swimming pool and gym, beauty therapy, and
golf.
A spacious and elegant venue with
about 40 dealers taking part, items on offer include fine
art, silver,
porcelain and glass, jewellery, Victoriana, old
advertising, Georgian and Victorian
furniture, clocks, linen and lace, prints,
paintings, rare books, coins and
banknotes, postcards, etc
HOW TO GET THERE:
FROM DUBLIN CITY CENTRE:
take the main road through the Phoenix Park exiting at the Castleknock
Gate, continue to Castleknock Village, turn left at Myos pub (on your
left in the middle of the village), continue to next traffic lights and
turn right, follow a winding rural road downhill (keeping to the left
at the V junction) for about 1km until you see the hotel on your
left. ALTERNATIVE ROUTE. traffic in Castleknock village can be quite
congested in the afternoons. Instead of turning in to the Phoenix Park,
take the Chapelizod Road which skirts the park and at the end, leave
the main road where it turns sharp left over the Liffey, and instead go
straight on into Chapelizod Village, drive up the steep and picturesque
Knockmaroon Hill, keep straight on at the first crossroads and left at
the next crossroads, and follow the winding road downhill till you see
the hotel.
FROM THE M50 :
take the Castleknock exit (signposed Castleknock/Blanchardstown), at
the roundabout at the top of the off-ramp head towards Dublin. Coming
to the next roundabout (Auburn Road) you will see a big sign showing
the direction of Castleknock: it is the 3rd exit off the roundabout.
Follow this road down to a T junction, turn right towards Castleknock
Village, turn left at Myos pub (on your left in the middle
of the village), continue to next traffic lights and turn right, follow
a winding rural road downhill (keeping to the left at the V junction)
for about 1km until you see the hotel on your left
BY BUS
no. 37 Bus from Hawkins St (near
Trinity
College) or Parliament St (near Christchurch Cathedral) to Diswellstown
Road runs every half hour on Sundays. Get off at the roundabout at
Diswellstown Road and follow the road round to the right towards
Luttrellstown Wood housing estate. Just before the first houses on your
left there is a pedestrian entrance (between tall brick pillars) with a
path that takes you down to
Porterstown Road, exiting directly opposite the hotel (about a 5 minute
walk). Unfortunately the hotel does not have great transport links.
PLEASE NOTE: Whereas it is only a 10 - 15 minute drive from the city
centre,
the bus takes about an hour as it takes quite a roundabout route, since
buses are not allowed drive through the Phoenix Park.
