What guests think

At Horse & Hound, travelers widely praise the warm, welcoming staff, while room experiences vary: some are spacious and comfortable, but others feel small, run hot, or suffer from nighttime noise and occasional minor maintenance issues.

Food at the on-site pub and restaurant is frequently highlighted as excellent, but there is no on-site breakfast and the restaurant may be closed on some days. Location works well for exploring County Wicklow and golf, with easy road access and a quaint village setting, though nights near the bar or beer garden can be lively. Expect a friendly inn with great dining and character, plus some trade-offs around room size, temperature, and potential noise.

Lovely hotel just south of Dublin. Staff was great and bed was comfortable. We ate in the restaurant that is part of the hotel and food was good. Highly recommend thia hotel. Important to note that rooms are in aecond floor and there is no elevator.

What a cool property. Alan was a terrific host and the property had so much charm. Live music in the pub at night and they taught me how to poor a Guinness. Highly recommend.

The Horse & Hound was a lovely historic stay for our 1st night in Ireland. The food at the restaurant was very good, (especially the blackberry & apple crumble). Convenient off street parking. The only complaint we had, (and not the property's fault), was that we were exhausted from the travel and 6 hour time difference, and the beer garden on a Saturday night just outside our window wasn't really helpful for getting a good night's sleep. If you are up for a good party, you would probably enjoy the property more than two exhausted Americans on their first night on "the emerald isle."

The staff failed to inform us that there would be construction going on EARLY in the morning hours. We woke at 4am to workers getting ready and 7am to saws and hammers going. This was directly across from us. They should have at minimum put us down the hall further. Also, shower did not work properly and flooded the bathroom.

Stayed in Room 1. The bathroom was ridiculously small. Tap on the sink was hanging off. Shower is impossible to get in and out of unless you are a child. Knees were tight up against the door while sitting on the loo. Would not recommend Room 1. My friend stayed in Room 3 which had a reasonable sized bathroom.

There was no way to turn down the heat in our room, so we were uncomfortably too warm all night and had difficulty sleeping. The shower and sink were incredibly slow to drain, so you ended up with a sink full of water before you finished washing your hands or brushing your teeth, and in the shower you constantly sloshed water onto the floor. The only accessible plug without moving the bed was high up on the wall where the TV is mounted, but there was an active roof leak running down the wall, so we couldn't use that plug. The people were very kind and welcoming... we just had a bad room experience.

Das Zimmer war SEHR klein. Bett und Schlafraum waren noch ok, aber das Badezimmer eine Frechheit. Auf dem WC sitzend hat man die Knie DIREKT an der Tür und kann sich nicht mehr bewegen. Zur Dusche gab es eine Stufe die im Weg ist und zur Stolperfalle wird. Dusche eng, aber abgesehen vom Schimmel ok. Man kommt nur nicht wieder raus! Sorry aber für das Geld habe ich in Irland schon viel besser geschlafen! Die Bettwäche roch muffig. Evtl. Länger nicht genutzt. Staub auf dem Schrank, Bettbezug kaputt. Das Bett für 2 ok, aber auch eher klein. Das Zimmer ist abgewohnt. Wir werden nicht wiederkommen.

Excellent restaurant and even better pub! The general overseer, Marc, offered excellent customer service. One area needing improvement: housekeeping. There seemed to be a shortage of staff. In general the HnH was located in the center of everything we wanted to do in Wicklow Mts

This is a lovely traditional country inn in a beautiful area. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed because the staff is just fantastic! We arrived late on a busy Saturday evening and were taken care of immediately. We chose to eat in the pub where Annika, Alan and Sam went above and beyond to look after us. The food is great, the room was great, the staff was great times ten. I sincerely hope to be able to stay there again.

Also, the bed was super comfortable! Thank you Horse and Hound for an amazing experience.

I really enjoyed our stay here, the room was clean and very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant in the hotel and our meal was fantastic, the staff were so friendly and helpful and we enjoyed chatting with Mark who helped us choose from the menu etc. The front bar had a traditional music night and the bar was full, the craic was mighty. The village is beautiful and we stopped off for a drink in the Wicklow Arms which is also a lovely place. I definitely intend to stay here again, it's so handy to Dublin city yet so rural and pretty. Highly recommended S.
