Belmont House is one of the oldest surviving homes in Donnybrook
Dating back to at least the 1760s, when the area was a notorious ‘den of vice’, Belmont House today is a bright family home which retains many of its original features
The Donnybrook of present times, with its upmarket brasseries and steeply-priced avocados, would be unrecognisable to those who journeyed along Coldblow Lane two centuries ago. Now known as Belmont Avenue, the road then provided a link to the notorious Donnybrook Fair, a den of vice said to be famed for its “fighting, dancing, love-making and drollery”.
