Claim this listingStaying in Askeaton
A small town on the Shannon Estuary in west Limerick, built around the ruins of Desmond Castle, once the seat of the powerful Earls of Desmond.
Askeaton grew up on the banks of the River Deel, which reaches the Shannon Estuary a few kilometres to the north. Desmond Castle stands on a rocky island in the river right in the centre of town, a stronghold held for over 200 years by the FitzGerald Earls of Desmond, who ruled Munster from it before it was destroyed by its own defenders in 1580 during the Desmond Rebellions.
For a B&B in Askeaton, the appeal is a quiet, low-key base on the Shannon Estuary Way with genuine medieval history rather than a manufactured tourist stop. A Franciscan friary founded in 1389, one of the most complete monastic ruins in the country, stands just north of the town on the Deel, and the estuary itself is good for a quiet walk or a spot of birdwatching.
Askeaton is also well placed for day trips, with Adare’s thatched streetscape around 15km away and Limerick city under half an hour by road.

Booking Coolrahnee House direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Coolrahnee House 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.
