I found this place as a cash-strapped student. Delighted to find an affordable short break, adjacent to the cove beach and spectacular views from the cliff walk. A charming encounter with hosts who really cared about their guests. A great breakfast included in the price, set me up for the day. Many thanks, Sean✨️ I remember my stay fondly and hope to be back.

The room number 3 was full of black mold on the ceiling, curtain, window, and blinds. They knew about it, said that all people complain, and still rented it out. We had to book short-term into the Hilton, as they had no other room. They willingly risked the health of their guests.

Old & tired. Room clean. Breakfast apparently available 7 to 1030am. The owner slept in & nothing for breakfast. The evening prior Sean advised me to have breakfast @ 730am. Other guests were waiting when I left. Kitchen seemed dirty with scum on sink, food stains in fridge, some tea cups not cleaned properly. Toothbrush & toothpaste on ledge above sink ?! On the upside: Sean was very knowledgeable and gave good recommendations for food, site seeing and local area. Beware downstairs bedrooms at front of house have air vents above door that do not provide privacy. They get all guests walking by in & out.

The place is absolutely not up to any standards.Our room was dirty, cobwebs everywhere, dust on every shelving unit, mould in the bathroom, dirty carpet. Shower room very tiny and dirty. Not working TV(why bother to put it in the room anyway?). The radiator vaulve was missing so couldn't regulate temperature at all. Entrance and the kitchen area very untidy, messy breakfast area with dirty cups, plates and mugs everywhere. ONLY FOR THE DESPERATE!

Sean was really accommodating. Friendly and funny host. Rooms were adequate and clean. Highly recommend staying here whilst you are in Howth. Just don’t ask for extra bacon as Sean is sure to tell other guests that you have asked.

This B&B was generally fine although it does depend on both your expectations and which room you are allocated as some can be noisy and lack privacy. However the bigger issue is the complete lack of security: No CCTV, no safe box, front and side entry doors left unlocked and open all day. The property is frequented by guests, workers and customers of a coffee van operating at the front. We had a substantial sum of money stolen from our room on the last afternoon of our stay which ruined our holiday. We can pinpoint the time of the theft due to the specific circumstances however unfortunately only realised after we’d left the accommodation. I would caution any other guests against leaving anything of value in their rooms. Of equal concern is the lack of response from the owner after I emailed him and provided him with full details of our experience.

The worst place we stayed in on our 30 day Ireland Trip. Filthy Mis-represented Terrible room. Bed if you can call it a bed took up all but about 4 inches of floor space on one side AND springs popping out and dirty. Terrible experience. Open large containers of food. Filth on containers Church key locks that are hard to use and loud when going to the non attached bath in the entry hall. So bad. Worse than any hostel we have stayed in when young . We offered to recieve our money back and were simply told no so I cannot say there was any cooperation. Stay away!

Lovely little gem of a place just on outskirts of Dublin within walking distance to the harbour. Very close to a few nice bars an restaurants with a great host that can’t do enough for you . Highly recommend this place if you are going to be staying in Dublin . Nice an clean with very good breakfast.
