10/10 Exceptional

The Woodenbridge is an iconic inn located in the hills of Avoca, outside of Arklow. It is the oldest hotel in Ireland, and is a popular spot to stay, or spend the afternoon. The rooms are comfortable with modern conveniences. They have a hearty breakfast buffet, and the bar was a great place to get an afternoon drink to enjoy on their sunny patio. Their staff are very friendly and helpful.

Amazing stay! Our room had a wonderful view and a glass door that opened to the balcony. All amenities were on the property with a gorgeous golf course next door. Staff were so kind and accommodating. Parking was very good! The bar had a great selection and a fun place to hang out and have a drink. The dinner menu options were amazing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ireland!

Nice location.

Lovely location and a range of facilities. Dining room is a bit of a barn and could do with cleaning the windows so you could enjoy the view more. Helpful staff.

Friendly staff and moved rooms after complaining about late night bar noise. Excellent breakfast and location perfect for exploring Wicklow. Only complaint would be about non electric cars using the charging station slots.

The hotel property was rather dated but this was more than compensated by the excellent staff who could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was good as were lunchtime snacks.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were very cosy and clean. We had the best dinner in a long time in the restaurant and the breakfast buffet was well stocked as well. The only frustration is one of our rooms had a smart TV, but by the other didn't, so that was a frustration with 3 kids. Otherwise no complaints!

Staff excellent but hotels needs a bit of TLC

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Bedrooms were nice but beds very hard. We had to move to a different room on our second night as our original room was over the bar and there was noise until 1.30 that night. Main dining room is very bare and has no character but if you can manage to get a table in the original part near the bar it is lovely

Great location

Restaurant was very busy and as a result very slow. A couple of drinks orders were missed and had to be reordered. Food was good. Rooms very spacious and in decent condition. Unfortunately my room was directly above where the band were playing and was a little noisy. 30 minute walk down to Avoca so the rural location is not such a problem.
