Enjoyed our one night in Howth. Comfortable setup, nice view, especially from the outdoor deck above the roof line. Parking was easy on the street in front of the location. Daragh pre-warmed the place as it was a pretty stormy April day. A nice touch. You are over a bar, so there will be a bit of conversation murmur, but close a few doors and it's minimal. My advice would be to have some fun downstairs in the pub and come up at closing time (we couldn't do that with two kids).
