"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...

Free parking. Amazing location in town. Friendly staff. The room was large. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was really good. Breakfast was included and excellent. Only bad thing was the view out our window.

This was a great place! The car park was around the back of the building with plenty of spaces. The room was clean and well maintained and the bed was comfortable. We ate in the bar restaurant and the food was delicious. Our waiter, John, gave us excellent advice on things to see and do in the area and Trish, one of the managers, went above and beyond with hospitality. I’d definitely stay here again.

absolutely loved our stay here, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, the setting lovely, rooms comfortable, breakfast delicious and plentiful!
only thing I would have like to see was improvement on eco friendly front, replacing the tiny toiletries with bigger bottles that are refilled in the showers and the same with all of the little plastic water bottles.

The Lodges are perfect for a family. We were a party of 5 and we got a 3-bedroom lodge facing the golf course. Fully-appointed kitchen, washing machine, and common room with large dining table. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Hotel staff were fabulous as was the food at the clubhouse restaurant. The views of the castle whilst we ate were stunning.

The Woodenbridge is an iconic inn located in the hills of Avoca, outside of Arklow. It is the oldest hotel in Ireland, and is a popular spot to stay, or spend the afternoon. The rooms are comfortable with modern conveniences. They have a hearty breakfast buffet, and the bar was a great place to get an afternoon drink to enjoy on their sunny patio. Their staff are very friendly and helpful.

We were caught up in the British Air problems when our flight was cancelled requiring us to rebook. We were able to get on a flight one hour earlier than our previous flight, which meant we had to leave in a hurry. The woman at the front desk was wonderful about getting us breakfast to go and directions to Dublin airport. We made our flight, all thanks to her!

Our family of four stayed one night at Newpark Hotel. I most appreciated the hotel check-in staff. I could tell something was wrong with our reservation as he asked twice for our name and then if our reservation could be under a different name. Then he took our confirmation page and excused himself for a couple minutes in the back room. He then came out, apologized for the delay, and gave us our room information as well as gift bags for the children. He never once made it seem like it was...

It was wonderful to be in Ireland again and at this wonderful Hotel. Staff, food & rooms were the best! Even the dinner we had for our Irish cousins in the BAR area was great service and we all enjoyed. Please let all your staff know how great they were. Very Clean & relaxing.
Have a nice day & Many Blessings Jo Ann Thomas
