A unique and charming b&b. One of the friendly, helpful and cheerful host and staff. It's fabulous location in Howth Village is only one of its characteristics. Well worth climbing the step hill if you are using public transport. Breakfast is good there too.

Sean and Paul are great. So friendly and helpful. Can take a 4 min walk to the main street of town and to the harbour. Centra within walking distance is open Until 10pm. The breakfast prepared in house is traditional and fantastic! The area is quiet, relaxing and quaint.
