"The Step House hotel was one of our favorite stays on our Ireland trip! We had a beautiful and spacious room that opened onto a terrace overlooking the gardens and mountains in the distance. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and breakfast in the 1808 Pub. The staff was wonderful and the extra touches like flowers and prosecco in the room made this the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and start off our trip! We enjoyed the small town of Borris and walking the Railway trail. We hope to...

This place was an absolutely wonderful find! Its location right off the motorway is incredibly convenient, and it’s a quick drive to Waterford.
We were a family of four (with an infant) and were delighted to be allowed to check-in early as our room was ready. The room itself far exceeded my expectations; it was cleaner and newer than many dedicated hotels I’ve stayed in. The bathroom was spotless and modern, with excellent hot water and strong water pressure.

this was an amazing hotel, the room was very big, bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was also great size,we had a room with a balcony and view, extra bonus as a smoker..breakfast was freshly cooked and plenty of choice, hotel and rooms were very clean..we stayed at a weekend so there was music in the bar as well..the only downside to this hotel is that it is a little bit out of the town so a good 15min walk which we did going into town but got a taxi back out later at night..the grounds are...
