Claim this listingStaying in Malahide
A neat coastal town on Dublin’s northside, built around a marina, a long estuary and one of Ireland’s best-known castles and gardens.
Malahide sits on a broad tidal estuary about fifteen kilometres north of Dublin city centre, a former fishing village that grew into one of the capital’s most sought-after coastal towns while keeping a proper village Main Street at its centre. Its defining landmark is Malahide Castle, home to the Talbot family for close to 800 years until 1976, its parkland now open to the public right on the edge of the village.
For a B&B stay, Malahide gives you a genuine seaside town within easy reach of Dublin rather than a city-centre base. You can walk the castle demesne and its walled gardens in the morning, browse the harbour and marina in the afternoon, and be back among the town’s restaurants on Church Road or James’s Terrace by evening. The Broadmeadow estuary and the coastal path out toward Portmarnock give an easy walking or cycling route along the water.
It also suits visitors who want the airport close by without staying in an anonymous airport hotel, since Malahide is only a short drive from Dublin Airport while still feeling like its own town, with a working harbour and a Main Street rather than a strip of hotels.
Things to do near Beechwood Country House
Malahide Castle and Gardens
Dating in part from the 12th century, Malahide Castle was home to the Talbot family for nearly 800 years, one of the longest such tenures in Ireland, before passing to state ownership in the 1970s. Its extensive parkland includes walled Victorian gardens with a wide collection of trees and shrubs, and the castle interior is open for guided tours.
Casino Model Railway Museum
The model railway collection built by railway engineer Cyril Fry, once displayed inside Malahide Castle itself, now has its own home in the restored Casino cottage in the heart of the village, a 19th-century building originally built as a shooting lodge for the Talbots. It is a favourite with families and rail enthusiasts alike.
Malahide Marina and harbour
The marina and harbour give the town its working seafront character, with sailing and boating still very much part of daily life. A walk along the harbour wall out toward the estuary mouth is one of the easiest ways to get your bearings in the town.
The Broadmeadow estuary and coastal walk
A causeway carries the railway and road across the broad Broadmeadow estuary, a haven for wading birds, and a path follows the coast from Malahide toward Portmarnock and its long Blue Flag beach. It is a level, scenic walk that needs no car.
Malahide village centre
The village itself has a good spread of independent restaurants, cafes and shops around Church Road and New Street, giving it a genuine town-centre feel rather than a purely residential suburb, and it holds a well-regarded weekend farmers’ market.
Getting to Malahide
Malahide is on the DART line, giving a direct and frequent rail connection into Dublin city centre in around twenty five minutes, as well as suburban rail services further north. By road it is just off the M1, close to Dublin Airport, which is roughly a ten to fifteen minute drive away, making it a genuinely convenient base for flights in or out. The village centre itself is compact and walkable once you arrive.
Booking Beechwood Country House direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Beechwood Country House holds a 4-star b&b 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.
