ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
An enchantingly intimate 1830's Georgian manor set on 200 acres
of parkland and well-manicured gardens, Dunbrody Country House Hotel
is the former ancestral home of the Marquess of Donegall and Chichester
family and boasts a long and established tradition of hospitality.
Kevin Dondon, once the head chef at Dublin's famous Shelbourne Hotel,
purchased the property some years ago and has converted it into
the elegant country hotel that we know and love today.
Guests are greeted with an exceptionally warm
welcome at Dunbrody House. Fresh flowers, crackling log fires
in period fireplaces and a sense of relaxed elegance, epitomize
this charming hotel, which has a character and atmosphere all
of its own. Spacious and elegantly decorated superior bedrooms
and suites overlook the magnificent gardens and create a distinctive
atmosphere of pure relaxation and luxurious comfort. The Harvest
Room Restaurant is renowned in the area and offers a choice of
fine wines to complement the innovative culinary creations.
A host of activities await your visit to Dunbrody
House. The dramatic Hook Head Peninsula, with its famous lighthouse
is just a short drive from the hotel, while the historical Tintern
Abbey and Dunbrody Abbey are definitely worth a visit. Located
nearby is the Kennedy Homestead at Dunganstown, which features
a unique museum and visitor centre, celebrating the history of
the Kennedy dynasty; and the Irish National Heritage Park at Ferrycarrig,
which retraces Irish history back some 9,000 years. The nearby
Viking towns of Waterford and Wexford, offering a fine selection
of shops, are havens for the shopper, while Kilkenny City, with
its famous Butler Castle, is also within easy driving distance.
