A quiet north County Dublin village built around a rare medieval round tower and belfry, minutes from the beaches of Rush and Skerries.
Lusk is a small village in the agricultural belt of north County Dublin, known chiefly for its Round Tower and Belfry, a cluster of ecclesiastical buildings raised over roughly a thousand years on the site of a monastery founded by St Mac Cuilinn in the 5th century. The tower itself dates from the 9th or 10th century and stands alongside a 15th-century belfry and a 19th-century church, an unusual combination that makes the site one of the more distinctive small heritage stops in the region.
A B&B in Lusk suits visitors who want a quiet, rural north Dublin base rather than a city-centre stay, with the beaches and harbour villages of Rush and Skerries only a few minutes away by road and Dublin Airport close enough for an easy early flight without a city-traffic crossing. The area is still largely given over to market gardening and tillage farming, which keeps Lusk itself low-key, a genuine village rather than a commuter-belt extension.
It works well as a base for exploring the north Dublin coast at an easier pace than the city allows, with Skerries’ harbour and windmills, Rush’s beaches, and the wider Fingal coastline all within a short drive, while still being close enough to Dublin city and the airport for a day trip in either direction.
Things to do near Hillview House
Lusk Round Tower and Belfry
The heart of the village’s history, this site combines a 9th or 10th-century round tower, a 15th-century Anglo-Norman belfry and a 19th-century church, all standing together on the site of St Mac Cuilinn’s early monastery. Inside the belfry is a 16th-century effigy tomb of Sir Christopher Barnewall and his wife.
Rush and its beaches
A few minutes from Lusk, the harbour village of Rush has sandy beaches and a working fishing harbour, and was historically a centre for market gardening, sending produce into Dublin city for generations.
Skerries
A short drive north of Lusk, Skerries is a lively harbour town with its own windmills, a Martello tower, and a run of beaches, along with a good choice of shops and places to eat for a day out.
North Dublin countryside
The land around Lusk is still farmed intensively for vegetables and tillage, giving the area a genuinely rural, working character that is increasingly rare this close to Dublin city, and making for easy, quiet cycling and walking on minor roads.
Getting to Lusk
Lusk sits just off the M1 motorway north of Dublin, with Dublin Airport around fifteen minutes away by car, making it a practical base for an early flight. The village has its own stop on the Dublin to Belfast railway line, with a regular commuter service into Dublin city centre and Connolly Station. Dublin city itself is under an hour away by road outside peak times.
Booking Hillview House direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed guest house
Hillview House holds a 3-star guest house rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
