My wife and I just completed hiking the Wicklow Way, and as part of that stayed overnight at Glenmalure Lodge. Have nothing but good things to say about the room, the service we received and the food. They were notified beforehand that we followed a vegan diet and were extremely accommodating, serving the best vegan dinner of our trip, by far, in their pub. Breakfast and their packed lunch for our walk were equally vegan-excellent. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Location is spectacular.

We used Glenmalure lodge as a campervan stop we stayed in their car park with gorgeous views… but we were lucky enough to eat at the lodge, twice, once for an amazing evening meal and then for the most fabulous Irish Breakfast. I was touched that the menu asked you recommend walkers, cyclists (and presumably campers like us) to remember to support local businesses and to be honest it’s no hardship at all to support this particular business through a dinner or breakfast purchase. First class food marvellous service. 5⭐️

We had a great stay at Glenmalure! Beautiful area, great things to see. Room was clean, a little disappointed in the view being blocked by scaffolding for a roof replacement. Breakfast was great and dinner in the pub was very good. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

This was our third night on the Wicklow Way and we loved it. The staff were all brilliant, very friendly and happy and couldn't help us more. It's a wonderful building with superb, immaculate rooms. We ate there that evening after arriving and for breakfast the following morning and we all thought the food was the best we had of the entire trip. Would go back in a heart beat.

The lodge is fabulous, staff ( they cant do enough for you) , food and idyllic setting is perfect. Our room was quirky with 2 widows looking out onto the beautiful Wicklow mountains, the bed was the most comfortable we have ever experienced. From sunset to sunrise it was an awakening of the senses. Highly recommend for hikers or just a little relaxing break. Cant wait to return.

A great base for hillwalking and cycling. A comfortable bedroom, food great value with a hearty breakfast for a long day of activity. Hard to get a weekend booking as it's so popular, so book well in advance. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

The outside seating is well organised & plenty available. The portions were generous except there could have been more lamb given for the roast lamb dinner. There was a lot of cigarette butt's under the table. I may be a good idea to have a few tables reserved as a smoking area as people were coming outside to smoke near diners plus people sitting outside drinking were smoking too. As diners & people just drinking are all together. The lady serving was very pleasant. We were not asked how our food was by anyone during our meal or when paying.

We stayed for two nights and were lucky to get the room because the hotel is such a popular place to stay, particularly with hikers – there are so many great walks to choose from around there and Glenmalure is so beautiful! We had a wonderful time! The room was very nice and comfortable with a lovely view across the valley. Spotlessly clean and the shower in the en-suite bathroom was one of the best I have come across anywhere. Plus the pleasure of having a swallow’s nest right beside one of the windows and watching mum/dad flying in to feed their young. The food was very good, besides the standard menu (including locally sourced venison and lamb) there are also specials every evening. Breakfast is also a lovely affair with different options which you can combine. Whatever takes your fancy the staff will try to accommodate you. Yes, the staff. Where does the Glenmalure Lodge find this bunch of cheerful, wonderful, funny, helpful group of people? Every single one of them had a smile and nothing was too much for them. They deserve every praise. The hotel is a family-run business and the personal touch shows everywhere. Covid: the rules were applied everywhere and we felt very safe. The Glenmalure Lodge has been added to our “favourites” list of places to stay at in Ireland and we look forward to our next visit. …
