Dunbrody Country House Hotel

Lovely last minute stay in April. Couldn't fault anything from the room to the decor to the staff and of course the food. Everything was great. We booked last minute and really enjoyed the experience. Had seen some mixed reviews online but we only had positive things to stay. Staff really made the place.

Treated my mother to lunch in the Harvest restaurant on Mothers Day, we had a delicious 3 course meal at €50 a head, it felt worth it to me as the room was so beautiful and we had a stroll around the gardens afterwards. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We were also offered a complimentary cocktail/mocktail which was a lovely touch.

Dunbrody House was recommended to us by a number of friends and when we visited we were not disappointed. From the warm welcome we received on arrival through to our departure after our two night stay we greatly enjoyed our experience in this charming property set on nature grounds. Breakfast was a rare occasion of relaxation with a wonderful breakfast via table service from the attentive team. The “Local bar” on the grounds is a little gem run by the affable Pat who is a fantastic host and a great promoter of the establishment and surrounding places of interest. The food offering in all three dining options is a testimony to the talented “kitchen crew”. Will definitely return 💯.

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!
