Sharon was the perfect hostess. We had a problem earlier in the trip that required special assistance and Sharon was kind, compassionate and caring. She made the best breakfast and homemade muffins and breads. She booked us a taxi and gave us helpful information on where to go and what to see while in Swords. Without hesitation, I would recommend Rathview House.

I would have liked fresh milk in the room for my morning cup of tea but since there was no fridge I guess that’s impractical. Everything else was superb.

Excellent Location and Lovely Hospitality
We had a very comfortable stay at Rathview House, and felt kindly welcomed by its hostess, Sharon. We slept very well in our peaceful, quiet room, and the breakfast was abundant and delicious. We appreciated the convenience of a location near the airport, while the neighborhood itself was quiet and within walking distance of a great restaurant/pub where we enjoyed dinner and live music.

A lovely BnB experience.
Sharon is as warm and energetic host who makes you feel welcome and at home straight away.The breakfasts are lovely, and if you have special requirements she is more than happy to accommodate you, so let her know. The Swords area has some nice places to eat and things to do and is close enough to the airport for an early flight. The room and the ensuite, we were in was a little small for two, but it had everything you'd need and was very comfortable. The heating (given our stay was in February :-) )and other comforts of the place were ample. I'm not usually a bnb person but if you are you will love this place and Sharon, as she takes great pride in providing the best experience to her guests.

An excellent B&B
Would recommend this B&B very highly. Sharon ,the host, went out of her way to make sure the stay was a comfortable one without being in any way intrusive The room was comfortable, warm and spotless. The breakfast room was also spotless and the breakfast delicious. If you are looking for ultra modern, clinical the .Rathview is not for you. But if you want comfort, cleanliness hospitality and good food, then don’t pass it! PS just a small point and nothing to do with the host, but the price I reserved it at on Hotels.com was not the price quoted at the guesthouse. It was still good value but just be aware of this.
