What guests think

Across reviews, Summerhill House Hotel is praised for its tranquil, scenic setting and standout breakfasts, with many guests commending friendly staff and comfortable stays, though some note dated rooms and occasional service delays during busy periods.

Many highlight the quiet countryside near Powerscourt and handy access to Dublin and Bray, but note it can feel isolated without transport.

Summer hill house was idyllic set in a cute town and walking distance to Powerscourt estate. Only disappointment was the transportation in and out of enniskerry (nothing against the property). The included breakfast is worth the price alone- absolutely fabulous. Staff are friendly and helpful. Gorgeous room, very spacious. Would stay here again!

The hotel is in a lovely quiet location with a lovely view of the sea in the distance. It has the charm of a lovely old mansion House. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was plain. However, had everything I needed. Food was of excellent quality and value for money. Service exceptional.

Beautiful setting for this hotel, and the place itself is as well. Lot's of vintage charm, but modern where it counts. Food was great, and the staff were all fantastic - every single one of them. We loved our spacious room, and will definitely stay there again. My favorite interaction with staff: I asked when the pub opened - they said "when you get back from your hike!" I asked how late it stayed open, they said "until you're done!" Love that!

Nice hotel in a nice setting. The staff were all very courteous and friendly. The rooms are a bit tired with peeling paint and some mold in the shower. The dinner menu is a bit basic but overall the food was edible. The full Irish breakfast was missing the mushrooms and although I didn’t want eggs, no alternatives were offered. All I got was one rasher of bacon, one sausage, two pieces of hard black pudding ( no white pudding ) and a very charred and horrible fried tomato half. My wife got the French toast which she classed as just ok.

Character hotel in a great location and tries very hard to be luxury. Bistro menu is interesting, breakfast menu extensive. Probably the best time to enjoy the hotel is not a rainy night in Jan. I was unlucky room Tv was faulty, and staff could not fix, Shower was cold and lacked any power and breakfast eggs one was very under cooked. However it would not stop me trying this hotel again in Summer.

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.
