Step back in time to this wonderfully snug hotel in Wicklow…read more I booked afternoon tea here for my mum and grandmother one afternoon. Upon booking they advised they don't sit afternoon tea until 4pm but as it was quiet they'd accommodate us at 2pm. We were brought into the front room where the real open fire was lighting and which looked out into the gardens. Unfortunately it was raining so we didn't walk around. The afternoon tea was gorgeous, a lovely treat, service & staff were lovely, didn't over crowd us and left us in peace to enjoy our treats! Have heard good reviews about their lunches, would be interested in going back to check it out.

The relaxed atmosphere from the moment you arrive, it's a great break from the hustle and bustle. Arrive 30mins before dinner enjoy a drink in the bar where you will be given your menus, then you order and when dinner is ready you will be brought into the dining room. The dinner is excellent value, and there's a superb wine list to go with it and the staff are knowledgeable on this list so can help you choose. The gardens are also beautiful to sit out in on a summer day.

They had a fantastic choice of food for me at every meal and I only had to ask the first time after that they offered me a gluten free option at every meal including cookies at my coffee break. The hotel is in a beautiful setting and the decor was modern and very clean. The business facilities were excellent and for this purpose I couldn't recommend it highly enough. I didn't get to use any leisure facilities or relax in the bar but it all looked good.

Restaurant had tiered menu for breakfast from continental to a full on Irish breakfast. Supermarket and pharmacy steps away from the front lobby. Friendliest staff we have yet to encounter. When my husband told the gentleman at the front desk that we had the wrong electrical adapter, he not only let us borrow the hotel's, but dug through the lost and found and gave us one to take with!

We popped in on a Friday evening to try out Synnotts Bistro here for the €20 for two courses menu…read moreand were delighted to be offered a special 3-course pre-concert menu for just €18. We weren't going to the concert, so there were few diners left in the Bistro room but that gave us a more quieter evening to enjoy. The wines are all in the €14 to €20 range which is also very attractive. I had the warm Brie with tossed salad & cherry tomatoes which was good, while her chicken Caesar salad had bacon bits instead of chicken, but we didn't comment in it. The mains of sea-bass were succulent & moist on a bed of pesto mash, accompanied by a bowl of freshly prepared green beans, broccoli & cauliflower heads to share. We waited a while then before our desserts and coffee and with a bill just under €60, we enjoyed it thoroughly and will be back again.

I had been there a few weeks ago at lunch time on a saturday and I didn't eat but had a pint and it as nice. First impressions were not great this time- it advertised 10 carvery on a Sunday (small print until 4.30 and it was 6pm but no worries, 6pm is late for carvery) but that was ok as it had a €9 bar menu (advertised over the door ith no caveats). Got in, got menu-- nice selection and a €19.95 4 course but no sign of the €9 menu. We decided to have a starter anyway and it was a nice meal but we had to grab a recently vacated table to see the TV and even though the staff came over 5 times, no one wiped down the table which I thought was a bit slack, especially as they cleared it. Food was nice, and the staff were pleasant but it was a little slow, however I think this was down to a large group coming in late. Overall, decent spot but probably better at a quieter time.

Recently stayed here and attended a wedding on the premises…read more Pros: Full breakfast included. Beautiful space. Nice bartenders. Not overpriced. Meal at wedding was very good. Cons: phone in room didn't work. Heat wasn't on and we were freezing. Window had no curtain so we got woken up early. As far as the wedding goes- they kept the doors open so it was cold inside, and would reopen them when a guest closed them. They charged people at the open bar. And they put the wrong wedding date on the invitations.

Most hotels offer shower only rooms after remodeling. Breakfast in the hotel was amazing; included fresh fruits and juices, the traditional Irish entrees or you could opt for pancakes. Every meal includes potatoes; good potatoes. Something special about this hotel is the lavender balm. I meant to request more before I left. You rub this on your wrists or neck before bed and it is supposed to relax you and promote better sleep. It smells so good.

I asked him are there any decent people left in Ireland and I was given a snigger as a reply. I'm quite disappointed that I was treated like this customer service and a small budget compassion needs to be addressed by Management. I am in the hospitality business myself and if any of my staff treat any customer with such coldness and lack of concern, I would be deeply upset. the first that people see on arrival and departure and I really feel that this gentleman has left down my overall experience shall I say is not the best.
