About this house rental

DATES NOW AVAILABLE IN JUNE AND JULY 2024 DUE TO RECENT CANCELLATION
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!

If you wish to make a reservation, PLEASE tell us a bit about your trip, including who will be traveling with you, and what brings you to Ireland / Howth. Thank you!

Our experience at this cottage was incredible. It suited all of our needs. The people in the town are friendly and the city transportation is easy to use! Definitely if you’re thinking of going to Howth - this is a must do!!!

The apartment is spacious and the house is a good starting point for hikes on the coast. Travel to Dublin comfortably with the dart train (1/2 hour). In fact, we were mostly in Howth because of the beautiful coastal walks. Minimarket, pubs and restaurants also within walking distance. Contact with the hosts via email was easy. Thanks to Jane and Peter. We'd love to come back. C&D from Hamburg

We stayed in Howth for nearly three weeks and it was great to have a home from home to return to each day. Location is perfect for walking into Howth and there was everything we needed to cook up a meal and relax in the evening. Comms were easy and swift with a minor problem with the hot water solved really quickly. Thanks so much for sharing 1 Balglass rd with our family. We had a memorable holiday

Cottage was perfect for us. We slept comfortably and everything we needed was there. Just a quick walk to grocery shop and restaurants. Parking was on the property and public transportation is nearby. If we ever visit again, we’d stay there at the Howth cottage for sure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Howth. The house is in a great location to enjoy the town, hiking, and it is a short train ride into Dublin. I enjoyed waking up to the chorus of birds every morning!

This beautiful house is in Howth, a picturesque Irish village rising above the sea. It is a quick, easy 25 minute Dart train into Dublin, but don't miss out on things to do right in town. We highly recommend the Cliff Walk (and Tiny Hidden Beach). It was a perfect easy hike with spectacular views of the sea. We also enjoyed the weekend market by the train station, and the castle grounds, and the restaurants. The house itself is great: comfortable beds, everything worked, nice open kitchen, great showers, Netflix on the TV. The location was ideal for us. Walking distance from two grocery shops and a gelato place. We could have walked from the train, but it is uphill, so if you have luggage, keep that in mind. It was no trouble to take a taxi. Peter and Jane's handbook about the house was so useful. Especially if you are an American, do yourself a favor and read it for all kinds of tips about the house, Howth, and visiting Ireland in general. If you plan to do laundry at the house, there are detailed directions which were super helpful. We left with all clean clothes :) . Thank you so much to Peter and Jane for allowing us to stay here and making sure we had everything we needed. This weekend has been a true highlight of our trip to Ireland!

The family enjoyed their stay here. Hiking trails just outside the door were a great asset. Just a short walk to the harbour and the Dart station and all the amenities for a pleasent stay near at hand.
