great food, great wait staff, snooty and arrogant an inflexible ownership that brought the stereotype of the landed aristocracy to life. Pretty location, very quiet with lovely gardens, but it didn't make up for the way we were treated and the exorbitant prices of both the accommodations and the food. we felt like we had very few choices: much of...

I stayed here for a night with my husband in mid-May. The rooms were beautifully decorated and were very spacious. The bed was very large (super king size) and very comfortable (if a little low). The only fault I would have with the room is that the bath was very small; so much so that I felt I couldn't use... More

Just spent a night in Hunters with some friends. Have been there before and was not dissapointed. Loved the food and the quirkness of the hotel. I was lucky to get a ground floor double room overlooking the beatiful garden which was gorgeous. It had a quaint door which opened out to the garden. After a great evening it was... More

Everything you read in the numerous 5 star reviews on TA about Hunter's is true. Hunter's is a really lovely hotel. The staff are all extremely helpful, the building is wonderfully old and atmospheric, the gardens are very pretty and well tended and our room (number 9) was huge and fabulous. They even light a real coal fire in your... More

Hunter's hotel is absolutely stunning! The staff were very friendly and were always looking for ways to make our stay more enjoyable. They catered to our interest in the hotel's history and elaborated on some of the more notable guests. The food was delicious, and was most certainly the best I had experienced at any hotel. We witnessed a wide... More

We stumbled across this place almost by accident on Easter Monday, hadn't booked. Mid afternoon it was full of families finishing off their bank holiday lunches, so we didn't think we'd get a room, let alone the 2 we needed. We now consider ourselves blessed, pretty well the hotel highlight of our 2 week road trip. Food was amazing, rooms... More

If you love good food and wine, a warm welcome, a cosy fire, good company, located close to beautiful Mount Usher gardens....Hunters is the place to spend a weekend. Celebrating a friends birthday Hunters was a real treat, the delicious menu was enhanced with freshly grown produce from the garden. We enjoyed a fabulous cliff walk from nearby Bray to... More

Arrived to Hunters hotel after a day spent hill walking in Glendalough. I had been here before and was really hoping it hadnt been over renovated since then. I was so happy to see that all of the hotel's quirky charm had been preserved. We had booked a superior room and it was beautiful, a six foot bed and lovely... More

A dreary "Spring" day in Ireland was offset by the warmth and comfort provided by Hunters Hotel. Our family group arrived for lunch and was shown to the little bar, warmed by a burning fire. Drinks having been delivered, we ordered from the menu, and shortly were advised that our table was ready. Despite the misty weather outside, the cream... More

I came here recently with a friend for afternoon tea. The setting was really quaint and old fashioned and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was gorgeous, with scones still fresh from the oven! We got a great spread of food for only €12 each and they also gave us a second pot of tea which they... More
