Guest Reviews
- Doreen (9/5): Mycket trevlig personal, mysig Pub - Mycket trevlig personal, mysig Pub, bra läge, god frukost. Rekommenderas.
- veronique (9/5): Séjour agréable dans un endroit que l'on peut qualifier d'authentique. - Nous sommes garés au petit parking gratuit à environ 50 mètres de l'hôtel/pub/restaurant. La chambre était très correcte ainsi que la literie. Lieu propre. Avons mangé au restaurant le soir (parfait) et le matin petit déjeuner irlandais. Séjour parfait. Rien à écrire
- JEAN (10/5): Très bien ! - Les Repas du week end étaient excellents Rien
- Pascal (10/5): - Je recommande vivement cet hôtel chaleureux, convivial et plein de charme à tous ceux qui adorent l’authenticité typique des pubs irlandais. L’ambiance y est agréable et dépaysante. Le personnel est accueillant, souriant, attentionné et professionnel, et la chambre quadruple est impeccable, spacieuse, calme, confortable et parfaitement entretenue.

- Donoghue (8/5): -
- fiona (7/5): -
- Anne (9/5): Great service. They knew where local music was. - Helpful and friendly staff No fridge- or extra blankets ( but they’d likely have provided some if we’d asked).
- Paul (8/5): -
- Lukáš (9/5): - Moc pěkná restaurace k ubytování. Doporučuji k večeři kuřecí na kary V jednom pokoji plíseň na oknech a ve druhém nedovírali dveře ve sprchovém koute. Chuť kafe na snídani nebyla dobrá.

- Nadia (9/5): Schöne Zimmer, sehr gutes Essen und tolle Atmosphäre! - Authentisch und sehr schön!
- Ines (7/5): Gutes Hotel- Preis Leistung stimmt aber nicht! - Tolle Lage, guter Service! Wir hatten ein Dreibettzimmer. Leider waren die drei Einzelbetten an den Wänden, die eigentlich für andere Betten vorgesehen waren. So war mein Nachkästchen direkt an der Stirnseite. Musste eine Kissen davor legen um nicht direkt die Kante am Kopf zu haben. Das Hotel war völlig in Ordnung, aber das Preis-Leistungsniveau-Verhältnis Harnische gepasst!
- David (10/5): Super hôtel - Accueil et chambre très sympa
Le pub faisant parti du même établissement permets de manger sur place Rien

- Susanne (9/5): -
- Ardy (7/5): Pleasant stay, due to the lovely places for a good walk around the Wicklow Mountains. - It’s a nice, bit outdated hotel, which brings you back in time a bit. The pub that comes with it is classic. The room was noisy and the bathroom mouldy at some places.
- Miklos (10/5): Étel ital és ágy egyhelyen - Szimbiózisban a kocsmával, közel a nemzeti parkhoz.
- Barbara (8/5): Very good location. Pretty village. Lovely friendly staff - No fresh fruit.. breakfast was lovely Self service breakfast

- Nicolas (10/5): -
- Jose Bernardo (10/5): -
- Marion (8/5): Aangenaam , gezellig .Voor ons genoeg en functioneel - Ontbijt goed .
- Paul (2/5): To be avoided - Location Poor food. Cramped room, and not as advertised (3 single beds, not 2 doubles and a single). Very expensive for what was on offer. Ridiculous signage laying down rules everywhere, some of which clearly originated during Covid but which had been built on rather than scrapped. The place felt more like a borstal than a hotel ('No loitering in the hallway', 'No chewing gum''...!!!???)
- Stéphane (6/5): Etablissement agréable mais pas au niveau annoncé (4 étoiles). - Personnels très agréables, petit déjeuner succulent. Un renouvellement de la salle de bain serait bienvenue (odeur persistante).
- Anita (9/5): We had a fab stay, the staff were so lovely, food was fab. In all a great few days away! - Lovely, clean, near everything A little tight for space. Stairs was tough for my elderly Mam.

- Macdara (10/5): -
- Marchal (9/5): Une très bonne adresse au cœur du Wicklow. - séjour très agréable et très confortable. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et varié. Le restaurant propose une carte assez réduite de plats simples et passe partout. Petit regret concernant l'absence de plats irlandais traditionnels. chambre donnant sur la rue principale, bruits extérieurs audibles (voitures, clients du bar qui discutent dehors). Ne pas prévoir de s'endormir avant minuit les soirs de concerts.

- Annabelle (8/5): 3 nuits ok, bien situé dans ce ptit village - 2 nuits sympas, bien situé pour visiter les environs.
Accueil sympathique.
Un peu déçu du restaurant, mais petit déjeuner ok.
Chambre triple dans les combles, toute petite fenetre qui donne sur la route (clame la nuit); lots très confortables. Il faut sortir de l hotel pour monter dans ces chambres (sous la pluie c'est pas top heureusement il n y a que qq metres). Un peu déçu des trois dinners que nous avons pris chaque soir au restaurant
- Judith (10/5): Gemütliches Hotel mit tollen Zimmern - Das Hotel war toll. Sehr nette Angestellte und ein sehr schönes Ambiente. Die Zimmer waren sehr gemütlich und sauber. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls super!
Gerne wieder! Wir hatten nichts zu beanstanden.
- Fearghal (10/5): Warm welcome from staff and outstanding food at the restaurant - Clean and modern N/A
- Duncan Coghlan (9/5): -
- Evelyn (6/5): Herfst in de Wicklow Mountains - Leuke pub wel. Er was weinig medewerking van het personeel.

- Melissa (10/5): -
- Cath Bailleul (9/5): Bel hôtel dans peite ville Typique - Chambre trés grande et trés confortable.
Décoration et propreté parfaite.
Le personnel agreable dans un établissement trés typique. Petit dejeuner trés trés ordinaire, c’était le seul bémole.
Prix de la chambre tres chére
- KAREN (9/5): Very welcoming ! - The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was unusually spacious.
A lovely warm room, in fact we had to turn the radiator down !
The staff were lovely, very friendly and welcoming.
We had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious. I had Cod and it was superb; a proper piece of Cod, beautiful large flakes, just how Cod used to be. The room next to ours had an extremely noisy extractor in the bathroom, which we could hear.
- Nicholas (10/5): Fantastic location to explore , clean and lovely food, great atmosphere - Great location, lovely bar and atmosphere, food really nice and fantastic breakfast. Staff very friendly. Nothing
- Michael (8/5): Liebevoll eingerichtet und guter Pub. - Wir hatten die Unterkunft in dem benachbarten Gästehaus, dass sehr liebevoll eingerichtet ist. In dem Ort ist nicht viel los, allerdings gut geeignet, um Tagestouren in der Umgebung zu unternehmen. Die Zimmer und Betten sind ok, allerdings gibt es auch hier (wie andernorts auch häufig) die Situation, dass die Lüfter der Küche starke Laufgeräusche verursachen, was die Schlafqualität negativ beeinflusst.
- Eric (8/5): -
- Gianmichele (9/5): - Camera e bagno molto grandi.
- Peter, Halifax (7/5): -
- Conor (10/5): Lovely weekend getaway - Everything was great, nice room, lovely food, cosy pub, friendly staff, great location with lots to do Nothing

- Eva (10/5): -
- Rolf (9/5): -
- marie (5/5): - We had to go outside and climb a metal stairs to get to the bedroom. Not ideal in wet weather
- Els (9/5): Héél aangenaam verblijf en mooie locatie - Het ontbijt was in orde en vriendelijke bediening. We hebben 2x avondeten gegeten en het was ook in orde.
De kamer was klein, maar gezellig, héél goede douche. Héél proper ook. De pub is héél mooi, echt gezellig. De locatie Wicklow is echt prachtig !!! Het was jammer dat de live muziek geen Irish Music was, want daar keek ik héél hard naar uit en helaas was het een cover band.
- JACQUEMIN (10/5): - Super ambiance. Choix important de plats très bien cuisinés. Grand choix de petits déjeuners aussi.
Chambre confortable.
- Rachael (8/5): -
