Reviews and Ratings
I loved staying at this hotel! The beautiful gardens were a highlight, but there were some issues with rushed service in the restaurant. The room with a view of the gardens was stunning, and the vegan dining options were impressive.
I was drawn to the hotel by the great Victorian-style rooms with stunning views of the gardens and antique period furniture. The service staff went out of their way to accommodate the needs of the person I was traveling with who is in a wheelchair. The location amidst magnificent gardens was a true delight, although I found the dining options for vegans to be limited. Overall, I had a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is located on the outskirts of Wicklow town, boasting magnificent gardens overlooking the sea. The rooms are beautifully Victorian-styled with four-poster beds and stunning garden views. The staff went out of their way to accommodate the needs of a companion in a wheelchair. The dining experience offers a variety of options, including vegan choices and locally caught fish.
