Claim this listingStaying in Rathcoole
A west Dublin village on the old coach road south, now a quiet base just off the N7 with the city within easy reach.
Rathcoole grew up on the old Dublin to Limerick coach road, its name taken from a rath, or ringfort, said to have stood here in early times. It became a staging point on that route once a coach service began around 1760, with a journey to Limerick then taking four days, and the village sits within the historic bounds of the Pale, the fortified frontier of English-controlled Ireland.
A B&B in Rathcoole suits anyone who wants Dublin within reach without staying in the city itself. The N7 now bypasses the village, so it is a quiet base for the airport, the city centre or the M50, while Citywest and Slade Valley Golf Club are both close by for an evening out.
Things to do near Greenacres
The old coach road
Rathcoole was a stop on the Dublin to Limerick coaching route from around 1760, when the journey south took four days.
Rathcoole’s rath
The ringfort the village takes its name from, said in local tradition to date back to the era of the Fianna.
1798 connections
The village produced the United Irishman Felix Rourke, and the Clinch family of nearby Rathcoole House had a member executed after the 1798 rebellion.

Booking Greenacres direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Greenacres holds a 3-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.
