Tipperary House luggage storage

About Tipperary House

Dublin's Parkgate Street was once the location of dozens of small family run bed and breakfasts. These served travelers passing through Dublin to visit family and friends in Ireland, or sometimes to emigrate from the country entirely. As Dublin has grown over the years, most of these establishments have vanished. But Tipperary House remains as a testament to a vanished Dublin.

Tipperary house was named by a former owner who was from Tipperary. This unassuming bed-and-breakfast has been in the same family since 1970. Now run by the son of the couple who ran it back then, this B&B has been recently renovated to keep up with modern tastes but still maintains much of its original charm. Within walking distance of the center of Dublin, it makes a convenient base to explore what the city has to offer. And you don't need to go far to find some interesting attractions close to this hotel.

Served by Heuston train station just across the street, Tipperary House is popular with budget travelers to the Irish capital. This B&B and the area it's in make a great place to begin your exploration of Dublin.
