Everything good if you can find the hotel which is hidden away in deep country. I thought we were going to have to sleep in our car when failing to find the hotel late at night ! We were saved by a lady that I asked for help and she VERY KINDLY took us. All the way there in the dark !!

Room was lovely, clean and bright. Lovely bed and bathroom. Hotel beautifully maintained and, as for the food, that was exceptionally good. Staff were friendly and service top class. We re-booked for another minibreak next year.

Great trip
My mum and I treated ourselves to 2 night break at Dunbrody Country House. The staff were immensely helpful, friendly and courteous. Our garden suite was very comfortable with a back door leading on to the garden. Food was first-rate. The staff (inc. chef's) made every effort to accommodate my many food intolerances! Special thanks to Catherine for her directions out of Dunbrody - much better than Google's!! We’ll be back.

Great place
A true gem of a property. If you expect the "chrome and glass" of a modern hotel do not stay here. This is a true country house/estate. Vintage through and through. Fantastic place to stay if you are looking for comfort and quite.

Charming but needs some upkeep.
Check in was great. Very friendly and helpful staff. Was a bit of a challenge to find. Charming hotel but furniture needs some fixing. Fabric on chairs had holes and were too unstable to sit in. Pub on the grounds was great. Good food and setting.

Hotel great, Bar very bad
Hotel was Fantastic apart from Wi-Fi in room, staff very friendly and helpful, The meal in the hotel was perfect. Unfortunately the food from the bar and the service was very disappointing, after ordering food they couldn't bring the right food to right table and kept bringing me a beef burger (3 times also chicken burger written on receipt) when I ordered a chicken burger and to be honest was not impressed with the chicken burger or the new York stripe

A great overall experience for our family party.
I loved the big house atmosphere rather than hotel with big lobby and all mod cons type of accommodation. The rooms were cozy with real fire and sofas and armchairs. Bedrooms were high ceilings and nicely wallpapered with old style furniture and lovely decor. The staff were warm and friendly. The menu was varied and nicely served.

No Stairs for me to climb
I requested a room without having to climb some of the stairs. Got a big surprise when we arrived as they allocated a room downstairs. I was so lucky and grateful

Dunbroady House
On arrival we were upgraded to a suite the suite beautifully decorated the only fault I had with the room was the toilet did not flush properly. We eat in the local pub which is situated on the grounds of Dunbroady house the food was fabulous.The staff were exceptional friendly and helpful I also liked the idea of tossing a coin for your drink between 6-8pm on a Friday. The breakfast was disappointing. However I will be definitely returning to the Dunbroady House.

More than expected
The food was especially great. Didn't know the owner was famous Irish chef ahead of time so fortunate choice. Food was simple Irish classics but done with exceptional care. Especially loved fish and chips in the pub. Would be ideal for family gatherings or weddings . Staff very nice . Unpretentious but fancy

Shelter, Slumber, Satisfaction
A beautiful part of wexford just minutes from the ferry from Waterford. very characterful and a great retreat. peaceful and a beautiful setting. one flaw was on walking around the gardens there was evident some 'dumps' of building and farming waste that should be an embarrassment to any farmer and it appeared that these belonged to the hotel grounds - this may not be the case. Staff were outstanding and helpful and even created a separate vegetarian menu for the night for us. The house could do with some investment particularly an exterior refurbishment however this did not affect the experience of the hotel from within. a great place to hide on a blustery day. my favourite part is the 'village pub' on the grounds converted from stables.

A Weekend away
Dunbrody is a quality proposition for a weekend away. The food is excellent in the hotel with an accompanying price tag but the food in The Pub is very well priced. It is definately a destination to relax as there is no coverage and wifi in most of the hotel!

Handy stop-over before the Rosslare Ferry
Elegant and comfortable house and very good food but the man in charge wasn't very helpful and there was no one to take payment on departure even though it wasn't that early.

Terrible disappointment
When entering our room a card with the wifi password was on a table. Entered the password, no connection, contacted staff to be told that wifi is not availible in all rooms.A double bed was paid for but was in reality two single beds put together with a mini mattress covering the two single mattresses. This made sleep next to impossible with the mini mattress constantly moving around the bed. At nearly €200 per night for a 2 night stay I found this totally unacceptable. We checked out after the first night without as much as a token gesture off the €400+ bill This included food from the bar menu, without drinks, that only be described as hilarious. On checking out we headed to Dublin to spend the night in the wonderfull Louis Fitzgerald hotel in Clondalkin, for 80€ for the night. We had a great nights sleep and received top class service. Once bitten, twice shy.We will not be recommending the Dunbrody country house hotel.

Splendid stay. Situated on Ireland's wonderful Hook peninsula and close to Waterford is such an added bonus. The very best of Irish Country House experience.

Overpriced under performed!
Was not impressed at all. The room had a number of things I had to bring to the management attention like condition of toilet seat, valance was dirty, black mould on the ceiling of the bathroom. This was billed as a 'superior room' I think not!! A family member paid for a platter of fruit to be left in our room. I had to send back the platter some of the fruit was bad! that is unforgivable!!! Management agreed but when I was booking out left a list of complaints while told management would be in touch. Nothing obviously out of sight out of mind! Food was otherwise very good. Expensive weekend but totally over priced!!
