Looks attractive from outside but hides multitude of sins for the price. Surly staff. Arrived at 8:45, asked for any food and not even a measly sandwich on offer . Given the price this was atrocious. Really don't recommend as a place to stay. The outside is pretty and that is it. Barman was good. As for the so called legendary breakfast it was laughable, delivery was slow and rude.

Stay here when visitingPowercourt Gardens

Staff was attentive. We ate both breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Good service. Ample choices of cold and hot items at breakfast. Summer House Hotel is very close to Powercourt Gardens so a great place to stay if that stop is on your itinerary.
