King Sitric

At he extreme eastern end of Howth stands the King Sitric Restaurant, a gaily painted, modest building with nothing to obstruct 90 degree views from its windows to the harbour, the southern cliffs and out across the Irish sea. Originally the old Harbour Master's house, the MacManus' have owned King Sitric since 1971 and built up a reputation for a first class fish restaurant. Then just two years ago they virtually rebuilt the whole premises, creating 8 very comfortable bedrooms, all with telephone, hairdryer, TV, and tea and coffee making facilities. Each one has a sea view and they are named after lighthouses. The cleverly designed first floor restaurant ensures that every table can enjoy the view, and an atmospheric bar on the ground floor incorporates the cellar, which is stocked with a superb selection of wines, of which Aidan and Joan are justifiably proud.

Apart from its proximity to the centre of Dublin and the airport, Howth is a delightful place to visit, with its fishing harbour, marina, cliff walks and golf courses. Major credit cards accepted.

First class guide to Ireland's bed and breakfast lodging

Bed and Breakfast Ireland reviewed in Chicago Tribune
Maybe you'll stay in the place described as a pre-Famine wisteria-covered farmhouse -one of several overnight options in Westport, County Mayo. Or maybe you'll opt for the large Georgian mansion just beyond an iron gateway in Ballymote, County Sligo. Maybe you'll stay in one of the other 400 or so accommodations in this revised and expanded version of the book (Bed and Breakfast Ireland) that first hit the United States in 1991. Only an occasional line drawing interrupts the text; and in the back of the 319 page book, regional maps-which include ferry routes-cover the whole of the Irish Isle, from Derry and Belfast in the north to the Dingle Peninsula and Cork in the south. Each lodging entry ends with the names of the owners, season of operation and number of rooms. This review refers to an earlier edition of Bed and Breakfast Ireland as is the extract above. The latest edition of Dillard and Causin's Bed and Breakfast Ireland contains even more entries.
