Mooie kamer, aparte ingang naast de pub. Het ontbijt wordt daar geserveerd. 's avonds kun je er heerlijk eten en gezellig borrelen.

Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für die Wicklow Mountains. In 20 min konnten alle Sehenswürdigkeiten erreicht werden. Das Restaurant im Pub ist sehr gut. Das Essen war hervorragend. Das Porridge war eines der Besten, welches ich in England und Irland gegessen habe.
Am Mittwoch trat im Pub ein Live-Musiker auf, welcher leider erst gegen 02:00 Uhr morgens endete.

Property was in a perfect location which I love,clean room and bathroom, bed was very comfy we have very nice sleep and so with the kids.
Overall, We had a positive experience with your breakfast, but there were a couple of disappointments. Firstly, the tea provided was not well diluted, which affected its taste. Secondly, some items that were listed as available, such as hash browns and beans, were not actually provided without any prior notification. These issues could have been improved by communicating the unavailability of certain items or ensuring that the tea was properly prepared. Despite these shortcomings, We still enjoyed the rest of our breakfast and had a generally positive experience.

Meals: I really enjoyed the food, both breakfast and dinner - very tasty and varied menus were proposed and the portions were extremely generous . The place itself: I appreciated the atmosphere in the bar and restaurant which was always friendly and relaxed. Most of all, I liked the fact that the staff did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and easy.
Some of the information relative to transport - taxis, buses etc. was incorrect. The village of Rathdrum needs to have a tourist office with reliable information about outdoor activities and public transport.

Great location next to parks, other food and pubs nearby, and really enjoyed the people and atmosphere. Would definitely go again.
Bed was on rollers so moves a lot, and with the room small it could block the door.

location good. staff helpful and friendly.
Rooms felt and smelled damp.
Disappointed to have booked what we
thought was a hotel but turned out to be
a B&B annex.

Location perfect for our needs in playing golf in the area. Accommodation was fine, breakfast was just ok. Staff were great.
Noise late at night coming from the adjoining pub as skylights were open till around 1am. So difficult to sleep until pub closed, as was too warm to sleep with our window closed!

A very authentic local b&b/Pub. All staff were lovely and went above and beyond to help and ensure our stay was great. Location wise is perfect for a night or two to explore Wislow and the surrounding areas. There’s not much in Rathdrum itself, although we did enjoy a round of crazy golf at the local camping site.
Unfortunately our room was above the kitchen, which ordinarily wouldn’t of been a problem except it was extremely hot in the room and sleeping with the windows open was then noisy in the evenings and early mornings. The hot water uses a tank and therefore if like us, you shower at peak times then you have a high chance of ending with a cold shower. Just shower quick or avoid needing the hot water at peak times and you won’t have any problem.

Fantastic breakfast.
Restaurants food is spectacular!
Location is superb! Great walks and hikes and surrounds. Jubilee loop is sooooo well marked and old buildings are gorgeous!
There was an issue with our check-in as apparently I was quoted the wrong amount and the receptionist kept on showing me the correct rates. I finally just said that it should be sorted with booking.com as I booked and paid in full 9 months ago. Felt the situation could have been handled better.
Also to families with kids, it should be noted that the rooms are on top of a bar. So over weekends it is very noisy until 1 every morning. There are bands and parties every night. Weeknights are super quiet. So fantastic if you are travelling without kids as you can party and join in the craig.
