We were able to check in early without any problems. The house was clean and parking was close by. Location is a short drive from the airport which was convenient because we had an early flight. I recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay! The only hiccup we had was I didn't realize we needed to rent towels. But that was fixed easily.
Thanks so much

This property is clean and convenient located close to Airport. About 30-minutes from Dublin, Newgrange and Skerries. Property Manager helped with towels. Don't foget to book those! Wisconsin, USA

Family of 5 of us stayed here for a week. It’s a fair distance outside Dublin, but that was clear from the outset. Swords village is nice. Easy access to M1 & M50. House clean, modern and had everything necessary. Nice ‘gated community’ feel to the estate

Heyward Mews was the perfect location for us, close to the airport and to family in Swords. The property is generously sized and the facilities are excellent. The property manager, Dora, was lovely and very helpful. Would recommend.

Property was exactly what we needed, close to family living in Swords, quiet, clean, comfortable and with plenty of space for our family. The property manager, Dora, was wonderful - great communication, friendly and very helpful. Would recommend if looking for a property in this area.

We all really enjoyed our holiday at Heywards Mews, we especially liked the kitchen diner and three bathrooms. We liked using the swimming pool and gym at Roganstown Hotel opposite. All in all it's a great place to stay!

Très bien
L'emplacement de la location, en dehors de la ville mais pas très loin de Dublin, c'était très bien. La surface de la maison avec une salle de bains pour chaque chambre, très bien aussi.

Une bonne destination proche de Dublin
Si on a une voiture, c'est parfait comme endroit : très calme, proche des commerces (en voiture) et de Dublin. Proche aussi d'autres sites et de la mer.
Appartement très propre et très fonctionnel.
Nous avons malheureusement raté par notre faute le contact avec les gérants à notre arrivée mais tout s'est bien passé.
On a voulu un soir se servir du four et impossible de trouver comment le faire démarrer ; je n'avais pas idée que l'on pouvait déranger les gérants par téléphone le soir pour un renseignement comme celui-là, c'est bon à savoir !
Merci à Barbara et John pour leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité !

Family summer break
We recently stayed here with our 3 kids. House was clean & had everything we expected plus more. The area is quiet and well looked after. Location is ideal for exploring Dublin.

Great Property
Thank you James, the House at Heyward Mews was beautiful and well appointed. James was there to greet us and show us around the property. the house was spacious, clean, and each bedroom had an ensuite bathroom-- The property was convenient to the Dublin airport, the town of Swords and my husband and son-in-law's favorite multiple golf courses. would highly recommend!!!

Barbara, the property manager, was very accessible and a pleasure to work with. However, upon arrival we were warned we cannot take showers back-to-back as water heater is very small. That was an overstatement. We could not take more than a 5 minute shower without losing all hot water and taking cold showers. We stayed there March 11-22. Cold water was frigid. For a family with two kids, this is not ideal. Heat and electric are extra charges.
The house was clean, typical rental. Some wall scuffs, but overall clean. Beds were hard. As in the beds could be used for trampolines. Linens were clean, but beds were not too comfortable. Living room and kitchen were decent size and comfortable. TV had 6 channels to watch (not what we were there for, but night time viewing would've been nice).
Location was great. 20 minutes to downtown Dublin. 35 minutes to Trim. 10 minutes to Malahide Castle (great playground for kids too). 5 minutes from downtown Swords. Not a walkable location to Swords. Rental car is a necessity as public transport not walkable (especially for kids).
Overall I would not recommend this rental due to the water heater situation. I am not exaggerating when I state hot showers lasted at best 5-8 minutes. Not ideal for winter. Not ideal for families where multiple people would like to shower one after another.

Good morning and happy new year. We have just checked out of unit 9 and unfortunately, I have a few things to bring to your attention (and VRBO) as I am very upset and disappointed with our accommodations. To start, the hot water heater does not work. In the four days we were there I had one hot shower that lasted about 3 minutes (same goes for my friends — about one hot shower each in the entire four days). The water was frigid at all other times and we were unable to take showers or baths. That is unacceptable. Secondly, the unit is filthy — the walls are dirty, the carpet is covered in stains, and the bedroom linens had a foul odor. I’m surprised you would rent the unit out in the condition that it is in. Other than Barbara, who was lovely, I am completely dissatisfied and disappointed with our stay and the overall impact it had on our vacation.

Beautiful country side settings, quiet, great relaxing greenery after a long party night in Dublin. It is about 30 minutes from downtown Dublin by car, you will need a car to move around. The nearby towns, Swords and Malahide very friendly small towns, with everything that you need.
The home is very comfortable, well stocked on the kitchen side.
To cook, you need everything, salt, pepper etc, there is nothing but the kitchen stuff.
Beds are super comfy, great mattress and fluffy comforters.
You will need to rent towels, no soap, even for hand wash.
Manager - Barbara- is super nice, she responded to our request very quick.
Electricity and heating was not included in the rental, be prepared to pay extra.
Overall, we had an awesome vacation, we will definitely return if we go to Ireland in the future.

The property is conveniently located and has access to the golf club and it’s leisure and restaurant facilities. The house was clean and spacious and well stocked with cooking and serving dishes. Beds were comfortable and good quality linens. The property managers were very helpful and responsive. Only request would be that some hand soap in the bathrooms would be helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
