Fiona Has a House for Rent

Welcome to The Batter: Experience Dublin's 'Craic' in Historic Stoneybatter! Welcome to our beautiful red-brick Victorian home! We are Fiona and Liam, and we are delighted to offer you a comfortable and authentic base to explore Dublin. We love sharing the best of Dublin—the famous 'Craic' (the Irish art of fun, conversation, and good times) is truly part of our culture, and we aim to make your visit one to remember. Your Hosts & The Vibe We have lived in Stoneybatter (or 'The Batter', as locals call it) for over 20 years. Having travelled extensively—from Australia and the USA to Africa, Europe, and Asia—we genuinely enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories, and learning about different cultures. We invite you to enjoy our house as if it were your own. Please Note Our Policy: This is a lively family home, and the space is not set up for dedicated remote work or study.
