Moat Lodge

Lucan is a scenic small village just outside Dublin where we spent a couple of nights at the start of our Ireland trip. The owner was friendly and the breakfast was good. The room we had was small with just room for the bed and a couple of bedside tables. The only chair (wooden) was at one of the bedside tables and it was difficult to squeeze past the bed to sit. When we were there the facility was up for sale.

I booked a seven-night stay at toe Moat Lodge, (Lucan) Dublin Ireland on the internet because of the reasonable price and the cottage look of the place. The airport Hoppity bus takes you to within one block of the Moat Lodge for 14.00 Euros each way,(9.00 if you book online). The Lodge is in the village-like setting of Lucan, a Dublin suburb. The rooms are just as shown in the photos, clean, comfortable with a great bed and a beautifully tiled bathroom with all the hot water you could need. The hosts are friendly and helpful and interested in your comfort and that you enjoy your time in Dublin. Very good full Irish breakfast too. The Highstreet of Lucan offers a grocery store, drug store, several pubs and fast food places and the local Bus to Dublin Centre stops a block from the front door. I took the 30 minute, double-decker bus in and back every day for about $4.00 each way. If you have a car there is a large parking lot next to the lodge. Highly recommend the Moat Lodge for comfort and security as a single woman travelling alone loved the quiet and homey feel of Lucan.

Stayed here in a twin room with my son for the weekend. Nice bed and breakfast. Owners are friendly. Our room was quite small but clean with TV, tea /coffee . nice bathroom. Would recommend if you want to stay outside dublin city as Lucan village is nice with a handful of pubs and places to eat.. Indian ,chinese,pizza and a chip shop.
