    From the front this hotel/pub looks great but once you enter it has the wow factor! With a large bar area, dining area, garden and an extra room to accommodate the pool table at the rear. It is so clean you can see it gleam. With an impressive bar and back bar you won’t be disappointed with your first impression. The staff are very helpful and happy to accommodate you, the landlord and landlady are the hardest working couple I have seen in hospitality for a long time. Our room was very spacious and exceptionally clean, we were situated above the bar and could hear the din from customers below. The bed was so comfortable, it was the best we’d slept in a long time. We ate here on both nights of our stay as we didn’t want to go anywhere else. Every item on the menu is homemade. The lasagna and Brie is recommended. The breakfast will keep you going all day! The location is great as it’s close to the Wiklow Mountains National Park and to the coast.

    The hotel has live music on weekends, which can make it quite noisy (we could hear it from our room). However, they do warn you about this during the booking process, which I appreciated. If you're a light sleeper and prefer a quiet environment, this might be a consideration. But if you're not bothered by noise, or even want to join the party, then this hotel offers excellent value.

    Our room was spotless and had a fresh, clean scent (perhaps it had been recently painted). It was comfortable, and the beds were excellent. We booked a room that included breakfast, and I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu. Instead of the typical continental breakfast, they offered a wide variety of options, from porridge and a full Irish breakfast to toast, pancakes, and much more. We also dined in the restaurant both evenings, and the food was consistently delicious. The chicken goujons were particularly tasty. The Guinness was also excellent. I appreciated the thoughtful children's menu, making it a very child-friendly place. The staff was universally lovely, the food superb, and the beautiful natural surroundings make it all the more worthwhile.

    There was very little lighting in the hallway when we returned to our room after dinner.

    The B & B is located in the building next to the pub. You check in at the Hotel and they will take you to your room. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Breakfast is at the Hotel next door and it was good - i was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coffee they served with breakfast. We enjoyed our stay.
