"...guests need very little persuading to retire into comfy sofas and pints of Guinness. A spa and cookery school complete one of the most welcoming atmospheres I've come across in an Irish country house hotel - Dunbrody is tone elevated to an art. I'm wary of celebrity chefs but the Dundons balance profile and product with aplomb."
- Pol O'Conghaile, Irish Independent 17th January 2009.
"Wonderful food & beautiful place. Excellent service. Thank you! " James & Julie Strobridge, Michigan 09/10/08
Set in 200 acres of beautiful parkland, Dunbrody Country House
Hotel is an enchantingly intimate 1830s Georgian manor located in
County Wexford. 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 turf fires in period fireplaces, relaxed elegance...
Dunbrody is a charming hotel with a character and atmosphere all of
its own. Stroll the woodland walks, explore the kitchen garden or drop in on Delago the pot-bellied pig, feed the chickens or just lounge away the afternoon with a good book on the sunny terrace, nodding off now and again.
Originally the ancestral home to 7 generations of the Chichester Family, Dunbrody has been run as a small luxurious hotel since 1997 by husband and wife team Catherine & Kevin Dundon. From small beginnings Dunbrody now offers a choice of 22 bedrooms and suites, the main restaurant The Harvest Room, an informal dining option with Dundons Seafood Bar & Terrace, cookery school, spa and a beautiful little gem called the Lodge available to book on a self catering basis or with a full concierge service from the hotel.
Dunbrody has also put a new twist on luxury pampering with its spa. Treatments, services and
products have been exclusively designed by wellbeing anti-aging experts Elemis in London and organic USPA from Australia to enhance the luxurious hotel environment and offer
guests a deeply indulgent experience. Not just
for residents, you can also come and just book individual treatments
or splash out on a half day or full day spa package.
The cookery school offers a wonderful choice of one and two day courses run by the very popular Edward Hayden.
Food is always a feature at Dunbrody and this July will see the return of the original Table d'Hote Menu allowing for the hotel's gardens to produce a daily selection of fruit, vegetables and herbs. Truffles are eagarly anticipated next year and will make Dunbrody the first producer of year round truffles. |
