Where to stay in Templeogue
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Yellow House marks the middle. Templeogue keeps its best-known address in that bar and restaurant, and a room within reach of it leaves both rivers and the Rathfarnham churches inside an easy walk. Lodging inside Templeogue is thin on the ground.
Most stays that make use of the suburb are booked in Dublin or over in Tallaght, because the ground between the River Poddle and the River Dodder went to housing rather than to rooms for hire.

About Templeogue
What are the main landmarks in Templeogue?
Five names sit on the list. Rathfarnham Church of Ireland Parish Church and the Church of the Annunciation carry the ecclesiastical half of it, and Kimmage Manor Parish Church belongs to the same set. The Yellow House is different.
That bar and restaurant is the landmark of daily use rather than of Sunday use, while the Terenure Badminton Centre supplies the only sporting address the suburb records.
What is the history of Templeogue?
Water fixed the ground first. Templeogue took shape on the land between the River Poddle and the River Dodder, and those two rivers still bound the suburb on either hand as Dublin's building spread out toward the mountains. Parishes followed the houses.
Rathfarnham Church of Ireland Parish Church, the Church of the Annunciation and Kimmage Manor Parish Church record the religious layer the area shares with Rathfarnham, while the Yellow House Bar and Restaurant is the one secular name of comparable standing on the same list.
