We recently spent 8 days at the Coach House and it is indeed very well placed for visiting Dublin. Ranelagh is a great spot for buying any necessities and good restaurants. We enjoyed Kinara Kitchen (Pakistani) very much. For a launderette we used Laundry Online at the top of the road and would recommend. The Coach House is suitable for a few days but the kitchen is not equipped for anything much longer, and if you’re driving there and need a parking spot, arrange with the owner first. A large SUV was parked right outside most of the time we were there. There is no dedicated work space as advertised , only upstairs bedroom and downstairs living area.
