A wonderful example of hospitality

Loved everything about the hotel and the area. Charming, friendly staff. Great Guinness and food. The rambling but well thought out bars, restaurant and outdoor areas made you feel at ease and the staff / owners were amazing. We shall return

Lovely Inn in Ashford, Wicklow Co.

We could not have had a nicer stay at this Inn. All of the employees were nice and accommodating to our family traveling with two small children. They went out of their way many times to make sure we were comfortable. The food was also excellent and the service at the restaurant and bar was outstanding. I would recommend this for couples or families traveling on the area.

Wedding visit

Really enjoyed our stay. We were attending a family wedding nearby. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, the food was excellent and the bed particularly comfortable. Extra lighting would have been useful in the bathroom as it was a bit dark. The hotel is located in a lovely area with a wonderful garden centre and some good dress shops in Ashford itself.
