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. |

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

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." |
