We loved our stay at this cottage in Howth. The home was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. Very clean. The host was very communicative and accommodating and provided helpful information about the property and town, including lots of recommendations. The cottage is in walkable distance to great pubs, restaurants and shops, as well as to DART and bus service to Dublin and other interesting seaside villages. We really enjoyed having a quiet village home to retreat to after busy days in Dublin. We highly recommend this cottage!

We loved our stay at this Howth cottage. The cottage and the town are lovely. We wish we could have spent more time there, rather than travelling back and forth to Dublin for booked activities. I would recommend exploring the town and the beautiful scenery here as much as you can. Lovely hosts. Thank you for sharing this wonderful cottage with us!

Wonderful place to stay near Dublin. Howth is a gorgeous harbour town with lovely walks and restaurants. Dublin is within easy reach on the train, with the station being only 1km away on foot. The cottage is very well appointed and clean with an excellent information manual on appliances and the general area. Communication with Peter and Orla was excellent. We were very comfortable here for a week. (There was no BBQ)

Wonderful site for exploring Howth. It is just far enough away from the busy tourist zone to avoid the noise while still being walking distance to pubs, restaurants and hiking trails. Amenities (groceries, etc) are all nearby.

Peter, owner and Orla, property caretaker were very responsive to our questions and helpful with information. Peter had an extensive handbook which answered any question you might have. Property was well located with walkable distance to restaurants and the DART station. Parking was tricky, but we were able to get a Volvo XC60 in the space. Peter provided parking options ahead of us arriving so we knew what was in store.

Lovely location overlooking the harbour.

The family enjoyed their stay here. Hiking trails just outside the door were a great asset. Just a short walk to the harbour and the Dart station and all the amenities for a pleasent stay near at hand.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The owners were very quick and helpful with communication and the home is very comfortable and full of charm. We loved the location and being able to walk easily to the main area of Howth. The best night of our trip was listening to live music down the street at McNeill's and chatting with a local family. We had a great visit and would love to return someday.

Thank you Catherine! Visits to Ireland to visit family can be both enjoyable, and a bit stressful (trying to see so many friends and family), so I'm delighted you were able to find time to relax and enjoy Howth as well. Peter & Jane

We love Howth and staying in this cottage made it even better! The cottage was deceptively spacious and airy. Perfect for our family of 4!
