The homely welcoming feel to it and the owner was so nice and helpful
Tucked away in a quiet corner of ‘The Velvet Strand’, one of Ireland’s most stunning stretches of uninterrupted coastline - the historic Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links, once the family home...

The location was perfect as we were going to a concert in Malahide Castle. It was great to see on our return to the hotel that there were 2 security guards on the door checking if we were residents.
It was also sooo nice to be able to just chill in the residence bar and not have to deal with rowdy crowds.
Also, I had mentioned that it was birthday just to see if it was possible to get an early check in.... I was surprised when a plate of chocolates were left in our room with a lovely card wishing me a happy birthday. It was a lovely gesture.
White Sands is a deluxe, family-run hotel located in the picturesque coastal village of Portmarnock in County Dublin. It offers a lively Irish pub and free Wi-Fi for all guests.

Very accommodating host. Property was lovely and clean with everything you need.
I loved this little coastal town! Walk out to the lighthouse and walk the cliff walk. Have tea at the Dog House! Check out Abby Tavern...I ate there twice and stayed late for the local Irish music. It's a walkable town with shops and restaurants. But also nice to just sit and take it all in!

Howth is the place to stay when visiting Dublin.
Howth is the place to stay when visiting Dublin. Just 30 minutes by train away from he city centre, it is a small but beautiful town on a penninsula surrounded with cliffs and seagull collonies. Many great pubs and restuarants, fantastic views and, contrary to Dublin - the calm and peaceful atmosphere where you can really relax.

I did not know what to expect as we booked last minute to go to a concert in Malahide. Howth is a beautiful seaside town with lots on offer (restaurants, bars, cafes etc...) We hope to return in the near future to spend more time there. Great for couples & families. A bit hilly in places so you need to have good mobility if you want to explore or stay slightly out of town. I visited a beautiful cove in the morning time where there were lots of swimmers in the sea & it was so peaceful...great way to start the day.

Location: This was the first time we were setting foot on...
Location: This was the first time we were setting foot on Irish soil. King Sitric in Howth was the first place we headed to from Dublin Airport. No regrets! So much to see and do in Howth. Charming views in every direction. So much to take in.
Transport: A short taxi ride or walk to the train station. Buses stop less than 100m from the hotel. I think one even passes right in front of the hotel.
People: The Irish are the best. Everywhere, they seem to be so welcoming and genuine.
Hotel and Rooms: Interesting history. It should be promoted more. Pleasant and friendly staff. Our room was steps from the ocean. What a lovely welcome to a lovely country. The room had nice little touches. Loved the in-room Nespresso & chocs. Nice hot showers.
Food: Amazingly fresh seafood in the restaurant downstairs for dinner (apparently caught by local fisherman in the sea right outside our room) and upstairs for guests' breakfasts; the menu items were well-chosen. Fish is also an option for breakfast! Found it strange though that so little bread is given, as there's so much rich and flavourful sauce to lap up. We even paid for more bread, but again it was just one tiny slice of bread. Maybe it's an Irish thing?
Pricing: We found Ireland in general to be very expensive, from hotels to food to shopping.

Nice city few minutes away from Dublin's airport.
Nice city few minutes away from Dublin's airport. Some hidden beaches. Some good pubs to have a drink or eat like O'Connells. Great views of the sea.
The road can be steep, I recommend having a vehicule. Various accommodations like Glenn na Smol (B&B).

Cliff walk, buzz of day trippers, cafes and restaurants.
Cliff walk, buzz of day trippers, cafes and restaurants. Everything well maintained. Initially had trouble getting a pre dinner drink as most bars.taverns are booking their tables for diners. We were put out in the cold in O'Connells! Finally hit on The Harbour Bar which was lovely.
Absolutely wonderful, family owned property encompassing both the accommodations and restaurant (East). The rooms were incredibly clean, well appointed and with beautiful sea views. Breakfast was included and outstanding. East, which is the seafood restaurant downstairs, provided one of the most memorable meals in memory - I highly recommend the oysters, Dublin bay prawns and crab. Simple and perfectly executed. Thanks to all at King Sitric who made our stay so memorable. Howth is a gem, and we can’t wait to return. Sláinte!
Sean is helpful, friendly, informative, and genuine! You can tell he loves what he does!
His breakfast is amazing! He alwYs knows the weather for tou and local goings on as well, to help you plan your trip! A stoat, hedghogs and a seagull named Henrietta, who visits the kitchen window, live on site and add to the charm!
Beds are comfortable and rooms are exceptionally clean. The location in Howth is near a bus stop and a short walk to a train station. Dublin is easily accessible but howth is a quiet escape from the hustle.
The house was in an amazing location in Howth. The house was wonderful and extremely well equipped for every eventuality, including a prolonged power cut on Thursday night - we were able to find night lights and light a fire to keep warm while the electricity was out. The house is comfortable and very tastefully decorated you can tell that utensils, homeware etc. was good quality. There was no need for anything, everything that you needed for a visit was provided.
Engaging, friendly staff in both the hotel and the restaurant. The management team went out of their way to help me. The room had all amenities, including a box of delightful chocolates. The location is perfect, right across from the water and on the main street, close to everything. The driver, James, is the best. He picked me up form the airport and provided local history on the ride to Howth. Highly recommend the hotel and the restaurant.
The complimentary breakfast, including a full Irish breakfast prepared by the host, was a good way to start the day. The host also has good knowledge of the surrounding area, e.g. for recommending places serving food and about the landscape and nature. I dedicated my stay in Howth to hiking the trails that loop around and criss-cross the peninsula, and I found that the B&B is well positioned for both setting off and finishing those walks.
The location of this b&b is lovely, in a very attractive part of Howth and just a short walk into town. Sean greeted us on arrival and gave us a good recommendation for dinner.
He informed us that breakfast was from 7am and was accommodating to our need for gluten free items and got specific things in for the kids for breakfast. On the first morning of our stay we had a very nice breakfast.
Everything about this stay was wonderful. Séan was extremely kind and welcoming and the place and location were perfect. Breakfast was the best I had in all of Ireland and the location near the cliffs and town could not be beat. I hope to be back in Howth so that I can stay here again, as it is clear that the b&b business is a labor of love here.
Location was excellent. First visit to Howth & will be where we stay from now on instead of in Dublin City. Staff were helpful, knowledgable & courteous. Breakfast was included in the price, and was very enjoyable. We had dinner in their restaurant on Sunday evening, pre-booking advised. Mostly seafood but very good indeed.
This hotel is a hidden gem of Ireland. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful.The room was very comfortable. We opened the window and slept very well with the sounds of the sea. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. There are many things to see near the hotel. We wished we had stayed more than one night.
Breakfast was good.
The best part of the stay was the owner Seán, a retired gentleman who was just so naturally friendly and helpful. I asked about the house and he told us the history of his home that his parents had bought when they first married.
But of a tardis, looked small from outside but tons of space. Properly comfortable and stylishly decorated. Perfect location for us, right near the harbour with all its bars and restaurants, short walk to the DART for access to Dublin centre.
Loved the location, views and restaurant downstairs. We stayed at the hotel due to the proximity to the airport but found the town of Howth absolutely amazing. The walk to the lighthouse a highlight. We will definitely come back again.
The room was spacious, updated, and offered expansive views of the harbor.
We appreciated extra amenities such as teas, coffees and chocolates.
If you are visiting Howth, I think this is likely one of the best places to stay.
One of the hidden gems in Ireland. The hotel was impeccable, the views amazing, the food/drink phenomenal...and the hosts caring. If you are looking for a getaway, or a unique stay while in the Dublin area, this is the place!
perfect spot for exploring Howth on foot. amazing seafood and a good pub atmosphere. room clean and comfortable. staff very helpful. easy and plentiful street parking nearby.
