    While the quality of accommodation was good, I thought it was overpriced. We stayed in hotels with better quality for less during our stay in Ireland. The breakfast was OK but pretty standard and not as good as in other hotels we stayed.

    The staff were very good and welcoming. The accommodation was good

    Wanted to order food to bring it upstairs to the bedroom, because of health issues, had an operation so eat very very slow, explained but manager said no, had to get chips from outside. No bar fridge in the rooms, the rooms are so close to each other, you can hear even the person next door in the toilet doing their business, not nice

    Amazing staff very friendly

    Shower water was cold on 2nd morning had to rinse myself and my hair with freezing water. I rang to hotel and staff member said oh il check the timer. No apogy and no call back. First night electric went off during the night. Was still off in morning and we asked about breakfast but were told no electricity. We were not even offered a glass of fruit juice or cereal. As we had paid hotel upfront I messaged via booking.com to ask for partial refund due to no breakfast as we had to drive to get some. 2 emails later no response. Very poor customer service not to even respond and we shouldn't have had to ask for a partial refund. We spent considerable money in restaurant, bar and on hotel and not even a gesture. Won't be back.

    Lovely bedrooms, great food in restaurant and breakfast lovely. Great wee bar downstairs.

    Evening food was good. And location in the small town with very little to do and no other restaurant to eat in. The local cafe closed at 3pm.

    Staff fabulous, accommodation was great Breakfast was fantastic and cooked fresh each morning. Bedrooms were spotless, and the beds were extremely comfortable.

    We only had 1 key for front door and room, so made it difficult if we wanted to go back separately. Missed the extras of a hotel, iron etc Very noisy on the Sat night, Sun not as bad but still noisy with the music, difficult when you have a child with you.

    Breakfast was excellent, the beds were comfy and it was a lovely big room

    Very noisy, dog was barking for about an hour and a half the first night. You could hear other people shouting at dog owners, hear people walking around upstairs and a person snoring. Noise from the adjoining pub was an issue on the second night of stay also along with some more barking, snoring and footsteps. Dinner was fine but I felt it was very expensive for what I got. The breakfast was also very poor, cereal tasted stale, meat slices were very fatty. Only one staff working while I was eating breakfast and she was busy trying to do everything herself overall I felt it was a vastly overpriced B&B and won’t plan on returning.

    Room was very clean and very warm. The beds were comfy and the shower had good pressure and was lovely and hot. Staff were pleasant and happy to help but hard to find at times.

    Noise late at night coming from the adjoining pub as skylights were open till around 1am. So difficult to sleep until pub closed, as was too warm to sleep with our window closed!

    Unfortunately our room was above the kitchen, which ordinarily wouldn’t of been a problem except it was extremely hot in the room and sleeping with the windows open was then noisy in the evenings and early mornings. The hot water uses a tank and therefore if like us, you shower at peak times then you have a high chance of ending with a cold shower. Just shower quick or avoid needing the hot water at peak times and you won’t have any problem.

    A very authentic local b&b/Pub. All staff were lovely and went above and beyond to help and ensure our stay was great. Location wise is perfect for a night or two to explore Wislow and the surrounding areas. There’s not much in Rathdrum itself, although we did enjoy a round of crazy golf at the local camping site.

    The decor is very old fashioned ( but as above very clean) The bed was very old and flat with old flat pillows and the linen was average (but clean) The food in the restaurant was very very disappointing. I had booked it because of the awards it had received but the vegetarian options were poor and lly tatseless (I left it uneaten)

    The room was spotless and the shower was lovely The location to the rest of Wicklow is perfect

    Breakfast was OK, but there was no gluten free cereal for my coeliac husband ,even though I had informed them prior to arriving ,and the gluten free bread that they did have for him every morning was a bap/burger bun which he tried but couldn't eat, as it seems they had defrosted it in a microwave and it made the bun stodgy and doughy .

    Decent location close to tge new Avondale Park and forest walks which are fabulous. Room was very clean comfy and well equipped . Staff were really friendly and helpful .
