Loved our time in Dunbrody house

Ciara and I stayed in Dunbrody house for two nights to celebrate her birthday. We had an amazing time. Upon arrival, all the staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food in the harvest room was exquisite. A special mention to Harry the GM and Gabby the restaurant manager for going above and beyond to celebrate Ciaras birthday. On our second day, We went to hook lighthouse and did the cliff walk and enjoyed a cosy meal in the local pub on the grounds of the hotel. It’s a really special place and would highly recommend for a couples trip away.

Disappointed

Beautiful location. But the attic room was unbearably hot. Should have opened windows prior to our arrival. Majority of staff were nice, however our dinner waiter only addressed one of our party and was rude. The steaks in the seafood bar were of poor quality and not cooked as requested.

Loved being in the country. Yet it was only like 20-25 minute drive/ferry to Waterford. Such a quaint place w top notch staff. All welcoming. Great little pub on site. My only small complaint would be to upgrade or fix some of the furniture in our suite. Old and antiquing but needs some repair.

Everything good if you can find the hotel which is hidden away in deep country. I thought we were going to have to sleep in our car when failing to find the hotel late at night ! We were saved by a lady that I asked for help and she VERY KINDLY took us. All the way there in the dark !!

Great trip

My mum and I treated ourselves to 2 night break at Dunbrody Country House. The staff were immensely helpful, friendly and courteous. Our garden suite was very comfortable with a back door leading on to the garden. Food was first-rate. The staff (inc. chef's) made every effort to accommodate my many food intolerances! Special thanks to Catherine for her directions out of Dunbrody - much better than Google's!! We’ll be back.

A true gem of a property. If you expect the "chrome and glass" of a modern hotel do not stay here. This is a true country house/estate. Vintage through and through. Fantastic place to stay if you are looking for comfort and quite.

Charming but needs some upkeep.

Check in was great. Very friendly and helpful staff. Was a bit of a challenge to find. Charming hotel but furniture needs some fixing. Fabric on chairs had holes and were too unstable to sit in. Pub on the grounds was great. Good food and setting.

Hotel great, Bar very bad

Hotel was Fantastic apart from Wi-Fi in room, staff very friendly and helpful, The meal in the hotel was perfect. Unfortunately the food from the bar and the service was very disappointing, after ordering food they couldn't bring the right food to right table and kept bringing me a beef burger (3 times also chicken burger written on receipt) when I ordered a chicken burger and to be honest was not impressed with the chicken burger or the new York stripe
