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!

If you are looking for luxury and all the comforts you have the wrong place, but if you want the real Ireland this is the right place.The B&B is located in Howth a magical place surrounded by the sea 15 km from Dublin. The rooms are simple and basic but you are fine.The real plus though is the owner Mr. Sean, we were welcomed as old friends, the first night allowed our daughter to stay with us (she was a guest from a family in Dublin) and in the morning she prepared for all three a fantastic Irish breakfast without claiming an extra euro (we had booked only for two). At breakfast, included in the price, there was still toast, excellent butter, jams, fruit cereals, not bad for a B & B.For me highly recommended. Thanks Sean we will not forget you.

The B&B is in a great location close to the town, the coast and some fantastic walks on the coastal path. The room we were in was very clean and had en suite facilities but would benefit from some modernisation, although only from a cosmetic perspective. Sean is a lovely, genuine host and is full of local knowledge. He cooked a great breakfast in the morning and makes you feel like you're staying with an old friend. At €90 per night, his B&B is good value for money but this rate is only available if you book directly with him, as opposed to a hotel booking website.

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.

I spent a week at the gaeltacht to improve my Irish. Without doubt it was exceptionally educational and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The teachers and organisers were beyond fantastic. Nothing was a problem. I could only but highly recommend it. I'm looking forward to a return trip next year. Bhì sibh go hiontach. Treasa. Maoillainaigh.

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.

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.

12 maggio 2023..Wow che dire... Dopo 16 giorni in Irlanda e averla girata in auto, arrivare lì.... Orrore... Dopo soltanto 5 minuti io e mia moglie siamo scappati, il proprietario puzzava come del resto tutta la casa,la camera squallida, sudicia, mal odorante , angusta e scomoda, la cucina un disordine completo per non parlare della sporcizia, e pensare che ci ha detto che potevamo usarla come se fosse nostra.. Di fronte alla nostra presunta camere una porta aperta con macerie, sporcizia, scarpe lasciate così e un rasoio elettrico con le ragnatele... Un grande bleff, un catfish ad opera d'arte.. Non so come le persone possano aver dato delle recensioni ottime, e in più come una struttura così possa esercitare ancora nel accogliere persone da tutto il mondo.. Veramente u a struttura da far chiudere immediatamente

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!
