Dunbrody Country House Hotel

We have recently stayed at Dunbrody, in their little cottage. The accommodation is very comfortable and finished to a high standard, the cottage is very warm, despite electric heating, so there was never any worry that we will be cold. Beds are very comfortable and it's a nice and quiet spot to relax and re-charge. Couple of comments I have: - being a first time guest there, the cottage does not have any marking, we actually passed the cottage thinking it's elsewhere and our car got stuck at the end of the road in deep mud. - Few bits and pieces in the cottage were broken: the bathroom sink was leaking, the bathroom bling was broken, and the dining room window was broken - unable to open it, as hinges were broken and the front door latch was broken too - if anyone pulled at the front door while locked with some strength it could easily pop open. - We didn't get any housekeeping while staying there, that's generally not a big deal but with having a little "kitchen" corner, without a sink (except for the bathroom one) it was very hard to be able to use the cups and bowls on second day. This brings me to my last point: - sink in the bathroom has two faucets, but you cannot possibly use the hot water as it comes out as boiling, and the other one as freezing, so we couldn't clean the items even if we wanted to. - Parking is plentiful - Scenery is beautiful, and you are not short of walks and views around the area - The main house is beautiful and there is a little boutique opened part time, where you can purchase local hand made gifts as well as some of Kevin Dundon's books and preserves. - Staff are very welcoming and helpful - Food in the Local is nice and accommodating to dietary requirements

We loved our 2-night stay at Dunbrody House! Everything about the hotel is welcoming and comfortable with the right amount of luxury without being flashy. The area is extremely peaceful and you won't hear a noise, night or day. Our room was comfortable and spacious and the same goes for the bathroom, with a lovely powerful shower. We had dinner at the seafood bar on the first night which was nice, and in the Harvest restaurant the second night, which was really excellent. There is a great selection of wines and cocktails and the Guinness is outstanding. Dunbrody House is also in an excellent location to explore the Hook Peninsula. I would definitely go back!

We came to Dunbrody for a little Rest and Recuperation. And boy did Dunbrody deliver. This Country House Hotel is an absolute Little Gem. From Checkin to Housekeeping and all in-between the service was "Flawless". Our room was beautiful decorated and had a bathroom as big as the bedroom itself with Bath and walk in Shower. We had Afternoon Tea the day of our Arrival which was by far and away the best we've had in Ireland to date. On our second day we had dinner in the Harvest Room which was excellent. Fantastic choice of starters, Mains, and Deserts made with quality ingredients. I do hope I haven't left anything out only to say a big thank you to all the staff for a memorable stay. Can't wait for our return visit.

We spent 3 fabulous nights in Dunbrody just after Christmas. The staff are the most welcoming and friendly staff that we have encountered in any hotel in Ireland. A real credit to Dunbrody. Thanks so much Debbie, Harry, Catherine, Sandra, Daniel, Kevin and all the team. The food in the Harvest Restaurant was so good we booked for a second evening. The food in the Local bar is great too and more casual. House and our room were just fantastic. Lovely cliff walk and close to Hook Head which we visited. Our first but not last visit.

What can I say about this beautiful boutique hotel that would fully reflect our amazing stay? Well simply put this is a first class location, with exceptional staff service, accommodations and food that delivers great value and understated elegance. Their attention to detail and their care for the guests is exceptional and that coupled with a beautiful old country house is an experience that is worth every euro. Special mention to all of the staff in general for their kindness and professionalism but specifically to Debbie and Daniel who not only obviously enjoy their work but our exceptionally good at it. Their professionalism, standards and attention to detail, while being full of personality and of a friendly nature also made our trip extremely enjoyable. We will definitely return.

Wow and wow… hadn’t been here for years. Christmas night with great friends. Picked it for convenience. We all live on the Waterford side of the ferry, so 30min max. We were aware it had been sold but didn’t expect the level of upgrade. The furniture/decor/service/classiness would be hard to match. It’s quite extraordinary. We are a group of 50 something age & are lucky enough to stay in fabulous places, this place is IT. Rooms/lunch/cocktails/ dinner/service superb. We then did a cookery class/demonstration with the fabulous Julian.. I’m blown away by the whole experience and so are my friends. Will 100% be back
