About this house rental
Our charming 130-year old 2-bedroomed home, bright, welcoming and beautifully renovated, sits above the village of Howth, overlooking Howth Harbour and Ireland's Eye, the iconic island outside the harbor, just 9 miles from Dublin city center.
Howth is the scenic and recreational jewel of the Dublin area, sitting in a hilly peninsula on the north side of Dublin Bay with stunning views of the bay to the south and the coast line to the north. The harbor, with its two popular piers, includes a working fishing port as well as a large marina, and is an important sailing venue. The peninsula has a wide array of wonderful scenic walking paths over the hills and around the cliffs, and is popular with birdwatchers.
We believe that our house was built in or before 1895, but it has been extended and totally renovated, and includes all modern amenities. It is bright and fresh, with 2 bedrooms that can comfortably sleep 4 people, full bathroom, living room and a bright fully-fitted kitchen / dining room overlooking the garden. Total floor area is approx 1,000 sq ft. The garden includes a deck / patio and offers views of Howth Harbor and Ireland’s Eye. The front of the house has 2 parking spaces.
The house is 300 yards from Howth Village, including shops, church and bus service to the center of Dublin; 0.4 miles from Howth Harbour; 0.7 miles (12 minute walk) from the DART rapid transit rail station serving the center of Dublin and southern areas of the city; and 8.9 miles from Dublin city center.
Howth has 2 fine golf courses, numerous excellent restaurants, and the 15th century Howth Castle which includes its famed wild rhododendron gardens, which are open to the public in summer, and the National Transport Museum of Ireland. As can be expected in a fishing port, many of the restaurants are particularly noted for fine seafood. Howth also has several well-known pubs, including the Abbey Tavern, which is renowned nationally for Irish folk and traditional music, and is only 5 minutes’ walk from our house.
All this within 25 minutes of the center of Dublin!

I had a great stay at the cottage and managed 4 days with no car so perfect location. A short walk form the centre of Howth with pubs and little shops nearby if you forget any bits. Big Tescos is a 10 min walk. Lots of lovely spots to go for a walk or visit local sites such a castle. The food shops around the cottage are great too. The cottage itself has everything you need to spend a few cosy nights in. The space is huge and we had four adults in there and no one felt on top of each other at any point. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Would deff request to stay back if I am ever in Howth. Thank you very much

My husband and I traveled to Dublin and we were lucky to find this gem of a place to stay at not too far from city center. Everything was clean and tidy. Our hosts were great communicators, the property manager was always available and prompt to respond to questions. Bed was comfortable, shower pressure excellent. Whole place was comfy and cozy! Town of Howth is a short walk from cottage. There are so many friendly people, and the cottage is an a historic location. Make sure to review the handbook that is provided - lots of helpful information. We highly recommend this cottage and would love to come back again!

It was a lovely , clean and comfortable home. Laundry was a bit of an issue . Maybe the handbook could be left on the premises for easy access. I would recommend this stay and I would stay again.
