Latest Howth hotel reviews
26 Reviews A crowd of people on the piers edge, were peering into the water and pointing excitedly. I was quite surprised to see a couple of seals bobbing around in the water, looking further, I could see another bobbing about beside one of the moored fishing boats, then another immerged from underwater. A...
11 Reviews Cliff walk on the peninsula Howth Head is a beautiful walk during the sunny day. You can enjoy cliffs above the sea and if you are lucky you can see also seals swimming close to them. It's beautiful when it's windy. The sea is beautiful then. It's a nice, not difficult walk which can last up to...
9 Reviews As I was staying at the Deer Park Hotel for the night, I had the opportunity to see this medieval castle, that has remained in the same family for over 800 years, as the hotel is in the Castle grounds. Not generally open to the public (apart from Charity Open Days, etc, bookings for individuals or...
15 Reviews The small graveyard surrounding Howth Abbey is quite interesting, and has wonderful views over the harbour and to Irelands Eye. Sounds from the harbour and sea drift up to the Abbey, which adds to the atmosphere of the place. I find graveyards quite interesting places, as they tell a bit of social...
7 Reviews St. Mary's Church is located near the entrance to the grounds of Howth Castle. A first church was built on this site in 1816 to house the congregation that had previously worshipped at Howth Abbey, in the town centre, and then in the chapel of Howth Castle. Again it was replaced by yet another...
2 Reviews Hello, As you probably have heard, the Fry Model Railway is no longer operating at Malahide Castle. To avoid disappointing visitors, it would be helpful if references to the Model Railway be removed from your website.
2 Reviews On a hill above the East Pier is a Martello Tower (one of two that can be found on Howth Head). It dates from 1805 and was built by the Englishman, who built several Martello Towers around the Irish coast to watch out for an invasion by Napoleon and the French. The towers are round with a flat roof.

6 Reviews I first came across this pub after my second trip to Howth, when I stopped for a Guinness before boarding the DART back to Dublin. At the end of my recent trip to Howth in July 09, it was a very welcome refuge from the torrential downpour, that had soaked me to the skin! A roaring fire (in the...
4 Reviews Maud’s is a café on Harbour Road, just in front of the harbour. They serve a seafood soup with local catch that seems to be very popular. I ordered a combo, which is the seafood soup (it was good and filling) plus half a smoked salmon sandwich (with some salad) for 9.95 Euro. The large orange juice...
3 Reviews Our "3 hour walking tour of Howth" was seriously, but happily, curtailed when we decided to have lunch first. We set out to find King Sitric after a reliable recommendation and it surpassed everything we'd heard. The freshest, finest seafood I've ever had in a most beautiful setting. Our table...
2 Reviews Last Monday (31 October) I brought my family to Beshoff Market Tapas Grill in Howth, Co Dublin. There were five staff in this relatively small fish market and tapas bar. They all ignored the five of us, although they were not very busy. After 20 minutes we pointed out to a staff member t hat we...
2 Reviews A small friendly club with a good atmosphere. My main memories of the club consist of the doorman wearing shiny suits and trilby hats, and my then girlfriends friend putting a condom over his head and blowing it up using his nose. Smart casual.
1 Review The Summit bar is, of course, located just below the peak of Howth Head. By then you'll probably be gasping for a drink by then! :) Very popular with the locals. I like going there in Winter, it is very cosy and has a lovely intimate atmosphere. Casual
2 Reviews You should go there, just for the name alone!! :-) They have tables outside where you can eat & drink during the summer. They also serve food, specialising in fish dishes (of course). Their resident chef has appeared on Irish TV. Even though it is located under the Dart station, you barely notice...
16 Reviews DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) is the train line running along Dublins coastline, from Malahide and Howth southwards as far as Greystones, Co Wicklow. The Dart service connects with Mainline services to other cities in Ireland and even to Belfast in Northern Ireland. From Dublins Tara Street...
3 Reviews This picture is actually in Dublin at the Bus Station just behind the Custom House North of the River Liffey. Bus Eireann is actually a long distance bus service, so you wouldn't take it to get to Howth or Malahide. Instead, you'd get on the Dublin Bus. You're looking for route 31 from Lower Abbey...
orlikins Says: Smirting is a combination of the words smoking + flirting, geddit? It started when people had to go out for a ciggie after the ban was enforced, and got chatting to fellow smokers outside on the street, eyes meeting across a cloud of blue nicotine... ;) So you may just meet...
3 Reviews If you are going to walk round Howth Head you should take the signs saying “Warning Dangerous Cliffs” seriously. The Lower Cliff Walk goes very close to the edge sometimes and it can be slippery after rain. Because of rain and very strong wind (I had almost been blown off the pier) I chose not to...
orlikins Says: I know these seal pics are crap, but I hope to capture better pics of the seals some other day. When I was down at the harbour, the seals were just poking their heads up and didn't reveal much of themselves. Of course the one seal who stuck his body out of the water was on...
5 Reviews Growing up, I was very near the Atlantic Ocean of central Florida, and foolishly this meant little to me. Now I am four or five hours from the ocean. So even a couple of quality hours of seaside activity here at Howth was a treat. I love my big cities but conversely, there is a special draw of the...
