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.

We only stayed one night, but were extremely pleased with our stay. Parking was roomy and easy (not always the case in Ireland) and the room was very nice. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly--even loaning us an adapter to charge our phones. The breakfast was excellent--they even went out of their way to cook french toast without dairy to accommodate our granddaughter's dietary restrictions. Great location in town if you want to walk to a store to pick up something, and the dinner we had at the restaurant was very good.
