The Mews at the rear of No. 63 is an integral part of one of the most significant survivors of an 18th Century Dublin Town House. The Mews house with its own garden and coach yard, survives complete with its stalls and coach House intact.
Nestled at the rear of No.63 Merrion Square, the Merrion Mews and Stables offers a truly unique experience for our guests. The silence and tranquility experienced will only be broken – occasionally! - by the gentle clip clop of horses hooves on the original cobblestones. Together with the main house, it survives as one of the rare examples of a typical 18th century townhouse in this part of Georgian Dublin.
This spacious accommodation is situated above a former coach house and stables. The stables have been give a new life as a place to rest and water the horses of the Mounted Unit of An Garda Siochána while they are on duty in the city centre. From the coach-house space, a simple timber stairs leads to the first floor.
In past times the coachman and his family would have lived here in modest quarters, while most of the space was used to store horse feed and bedding. Hay was dropped from the hayloft to the mangers below. Guests can seek out and find the outline of one of these loft doors in the orange bedroom. The living areas overlook the stable yard, while two of the bedrooms look back towards the main house which has one of the few remaining gardens in Merrion Square.
