There are few places where the rhythm of the sea is quite so immediate. At King Sitric, the guesthouse sits above the water at Howth's East Pier, with bedrooms looking toward Balscadden Bay and the harbour. Below, the Seafood Bar turns the surrounding coast into dinner from oysters and lobster to freshly landed fish.

A Sea-First Escape Where Ireland Comes Straight to Your Table

You're close enough to Dublin for culture and city exploration, yet surrounded by harbour life, cliff paths, sea air and the character of a working fishing village. Howth is approximately 25 minutes from Dublin Airport and around 25 minutes from Dublin City by DART.
