Excellent location. Golf course looked inviting. Bathroom needs updating. Rusty fixtures and fittings. Hand soap dispenser covered in rusty gunk. Did change on request. Breakfast on third day was poor. Black And white pudding like bullets.

The only things were short staffed in dining are on first day and walking across the road in the rain to breakfast although the breakfast was good and well run.

Both nights we stayed there was a lot of noise. The first night (Sat) shouting in the corridor,3am, Sunday night someone continually knocking on one of the doors around 2am. The bathroom I thought was spotless until I put a wet towel over the top, a load of hair floated down. The bed wasn’t made properly as the bottom sheet was too small and kept slipping down, it didn’t look too white either. The breakfast and dining were lovely and so were the staff.

Billed as the oldest hotel in Ireland (est. 1608), the property does not reflect its age. It is in good shape, conveniently located, with nice facilities and a nice staff. The pub had live music and a rollicking scene on a Monday night. I’d stay there again.

Enjoyable stay.
Two night stay, room in the lodge and food in the hotel. Room very comfortable, bed very comfortable, price excellent. Food was good, very big crowd on Friday night but service was still quick and efficient. Hope to go back and spend a little more time around the area

Woodenbridge Lodge Golf Break
I stayed in the Lodge with a girl friend - we were on a golfing break - From we arrived the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating starting with the receptionist who checked us in -she booked our golf courses and times and was very helpful - the cleaning staff were very friendly and very helpful - the restaurant and bar staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble - there was music in the hotel three nights we stayed and we enjoyed a dance or two - we dined in the hotel two nights and in the BBQ area of the Lodge one night food was good but I have to say the home made Lasagne was excellent - rooms were a bit tired and dated - curtains need replacing - there was no fridge in our room but we were given one when we asked for it maybe all rooms should have a fridge and a sun chair or two on the balcony would have been nice - all in all it was excellent value for money and we enjoyed our stay and our golf -

Food let them down
We stayed in the lodges at the woodenbridge for one night. Service was 110%, couldn’t fault. Food was a very low standard, especially the dinner and extremely over priced for what was on the plate. Room lovely, bed comfortable. Live music Saturday night, excellent atmosphere. Couldn’t be in an nicer location, walk to the local Avoca village, under 10k there and back. Beautiful kites flying low. Price of stay too expensive but enjoyed our stay.
