About Dunbrody Country House Hotel

Set in 200 acres of beautiful parkland, Dunbrody Country House Hotel is an enchantingly intimate 1830s Georgian manor. Ancestral home to the Chichester Family, the house has a long and well-established tradition of hospitality. A warm reception awaits you at Dunbrody Country House - an oasis of tranquility located on the dramatic Hook Peninsula. Fresh flowers. Crackling log fires in period fireplaces, relaxed elegance, Dunbrody is a charming hotel with a character and atmosphere all of its own. Located a mere two hours from Dublin and Cork International Airports and only 15 minutes from Waterford City, Dunbrody is easily accessible from both North and West.

 

Dunbrody Country House Hotel is accredited with 4 stars from the Irish Tourist Board. We are also the recipient of the 2001 Grand Award "Hideaways of the Year" from Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report and "Country House of the Year 2001" from Georgina Campbell's Jameson Guide. Other guides recommending Dunbrody are Karen Brown's "Ireland's Charming Inns & Itineraries", Fodor's Guide, la Guide Routard, les Guides de Charmes Rivages, Johanssens Guide, Best Loved Hotels of the World and Special Places to Stay. Dunbrody is also a member of Ireland's prestigious Blue Book and Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Dining at Dunbrody Country House Hotel
With an award-winning restaurant and a choice of fine wines to complement Master Chef Kevin Dundon's innovative culinary creations, guests return again and again to relish the unique ambience that is the Harvest Room. The restaurant was recently voted Restaurant of the Year 2004 by the Bushmills Guide. It was also awarded Breakfast of the Year 2004 by the Jameson Guide and 3 RAC Dining Awards. The Harvest Room at Dunbrody has also been voted "Regional Restaurant of the Year" from Food & Wine Magazine who also voted Kevin Dundon "Regional Chef of the Year" in 2004.
 

The new Seasonal Menu which changes four times per year is complemented by the Daily Tasting Menu which depends on what is freshly available and all our ingredients are sourced from as many local suppliers as possible. Indeed many come from own organic kitchen garden and orchard. The full Seasonal Menu is available at €60 or any Two Courses at €48 and the Tasting Menu at €75 (which must be ordered by the whole table and prior to 8.30pm) or specially selected wines for €100.

 

Recommended by a host of guides and with awards too numerous to mention Dunbrody is known as a "foodie hotel" but perhaps Mark McCrum from Conde Nast Traveller best describes the Dunbrody experience:

"Kevin's food, served in an airy dining room with windows over-looking the lovely gardens, is state of the art, and he uses plenty of fresh fish from the nearby Wexford coast. Indeed after five months touring the country, eating everything from amuse-gueles in Dublin to bangers in Ballinsloe, I would rate Kevin as one of Ireland's best chefs."
