Close enough to Dublin to enjoy it, but far enough away to be away
The Lodge was a fantastic place to stay. While some may not appreciate the spiral staircase to get to the upsatirs bedroom, it reminded me of a mountain cottage with a bit nostalgia.
This place is top notch! One of the nicest VRBOâs weâve stayed in. Well equipped with everything you need, modern and well maintained. The owner lives on the property and is very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
Shay is a friendly host. Met us to assure we were settled in. Lovely property, very quiet, very close to a lovely castle and park and walking distance to Malahide and train station for easy access to Dublin.
Our group of 3 loved our 2 night stay at Bodenlodge! The double bed and rollaway were comfortable and the space was so well appointed with lots of nice touches. We didn't have the chance to use the outdoor space but would have loved to! Location was great, easy and pleasant walking distance to the castle and village. We used the train and taxis to get around as we didn't have a car, and this worked great. Would absolutely stay again!
My friend & I enjoyed our brief stay in Malahide. We visited the nearby castle & the charming village. We are very grateful to the recommendations made to us by our host.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in at Bodenlodge! Everything was very nice and the property is beautiful & peaceful. It was easy to go into Dublin but also nice to get away from the city, too. The town of Malahide is lovely and an easy walk. We particularly enjoyed the castle grounds. Shay was a perfect host and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed everything about our stay from proximity to airport, lovely cottage setting at a home with beautiful gardens, safe and attractive neighborhood, nearby lovely village on the waterfront with good restaurants, a castle with extensive grounds etc. and also train service close by to visit Dublin.
We could not have asked for a better place to initiate our very first time In Ireland/Dublin. The host was very welcoming and helpful with information for all our needs. We feel grateful and were totally happy with our experience.
Property was charming and quiet, just a short walk from Malahide castle and village. Property owner was amiable and helpful and a list of local restaurants and attractions was provided. My wife and I had a lovely stay.
Perfect spot for touring Dublin and surrounding areas. The owners were friendly and very accommodating. The property was very clean and well situated for a beautiful walk to the village of Malahide.
This place is so quaint, clean, cozy, and close to the castle. It's an easy 10 min walk to town or the taxi home from the pub is 8 eu.
Shay and his wife are lovely hosts and consistently available to answer questions and or greet you. Wonderful and I cannot say enough great things about this little retreat.
I'll definitely be back. Thank you for everything and making our last two days in Ireland "brilliant!"

This little cottage is super comfy! Nice decor, FANTASTIC BED!!! It was in a good location, a short walk or drive from Malahide Castle. The area is beautiful and the property is impeccable. It got a little chilly as theyâve had abnormally low temps. I loved having access to local tv as well as Netflix. Shay was there when we arrived and showed us all the particulars. Itâs really the perfect size!!! Good WiFi was also helpful. Thanks again, it was the perfect getaway. Next trip Iâll plan a few more days in that area.
Wonderful lodge very close to city but away from all the hustle. Great location, close to restaurants and shops. Very clean, very comfortable bed, nice shower, WiFi and TV with Netflix. Great base for exploring the city and sorrounding area.
Excellent lodge, close to city but also a world away
Very clean, extremely comfortable lodge. Great host interested in ensuring an enjoyable stay, while providing total privacy. Beautiful grounds, lodge decorated very nicely. Extremely comfortable bed. Short ride from Dublin in excellent, safe area. Train station & downtown area, with restaurants & shops, just a 4 minute drive or short 25 minute walk. Castle grounds are just across the road; nice beach & parks very nearby. Perfect place to unwind or use as a base for exploring the city and surrounding area. Will definitely stay here again.
