Bray has few hotels making this one able to charge £240 a night for very basic accommodation. Clean but quite basic.

Good location, limited parking and non included with the staying. Dated room Shocking breakfast. Very limited choice so we went for the poached eggs. Boiled eggs were served instead. We made the waiter aware those weren’t poached eggs but boiled eggs. He said “they’re just harder”. Yeah right. We asked for yogurt and granola instead and they charged us nearly 20€ for those.

fabulous location, good night’s sleep. Very friendly breakfast staff. Would have like a working TV in room. Breakfast start before 8am would help guests. I do not expect towels to be changed daily when I have hung up to reuse.

The hotel is in a beautiful location. We had a few issues with our room upon arrival that could have been handled a bit better. The food was incredible, but we wish the same care was given to some of the hotel facilities.

The location was decent, but there were issues. The towel warmer in the bathroom was dripping water on the floor, which wasn't a huge issue. The biggest problem was the noise. On the first night we heard what sounded like someone moving furniture for hours above us. The second night, in addition to the furniture moving noises, there was loud dance music being played, I think at the restaurant on the property (we didn'tleaveour room to investigate). We barely got any sleep. Had we known that the place turned into a club on Friday nights, we wouldn't have booked.

The hotel is charming, and right on the water. Perfect to get up early and go walk the shoreline. The coffee is the small shop is EXCELLENT, as was some of the cake/pastry we sampled. The small deck off the coffee shop is beautiful and overlooking the water. Also, there is a train right by the hotel that goes directly into Dublin. Perfect to avoid driving!!! The only two downsides: 1) It was a party atmosphere outside late night. If you want to sleep early, it can be difficult. 2) We tried to get into our room a little early, and the hotel could not accommodate us. Conversely, they asked that we actually wait longer than checkin time.

My wife and I had a very nice stay here and it had a very nice view of the beach. Beautiful area. Would recommend checking it out!

This hotel holds all that is charming about the era in which it was built in combination with fully modernized lighting, plumbing, and mattress. We are SO impressed with the kindness and gracious welcome of all the staff here. Our room was on the top floor with a small window looking out on the ocean; perfect! We slept really well. The water pressure was fantastic in the shower. We had dinner in the Curry Leaf restaurant downstairs; delicious! Breakfast was just right; lots of options. We HIGHLY recommend this place.

Beautiful old historical hotel. Good view of the beach. Very welcoming and helpful staff! Our room was several flights up and there wasn’t an elevator, but staff took our bags up for us. Climbing the steps to our room was like climbing a mountain. Our room was either a closet or an attic with a very small window; there wasn’t a fan nor air conditioning so the space was ver confining. I sat on the toilet and my knees hit the sink.

apart from a few tiny improvements it was fabulous. could do with a row of hooks on the wall near the door (room 6) and we were unable to watch a video stream with the wifi, but it was free wifi and emails etc were fine. will definitely stay again and intend to go next year for sure.

There is absolutely NO free PARKING if any parking avail. That is not reported accutrately on the website. They only have 4 parking spots. It was the middle of heat wave and NO airflow through the building and we were in the attic and refused to open the attic window for airflow. Our bedroom was 98F. Owner told us to go cool off at the shore outside. Pillows were hard as rocks.

Unique well-maintained old property loaded with charm and amenities. Exciting bar downstairs. great veranda bar and dining area upstairs with fabulous view of the beach and ocean. Great breakfast to order. The staff was gracious and extremely helpful. Easy 12 min walk from train station. easy access to various local attractions. Take the Bray head walk if you get the chance. Defiantly take the DART train in the area.

It was amazing start to finish. Will definitely return. Upon arrival the Manager moved his car so we could have a better spot. This move was totally unprompted. Then my wife and I and our kids were served complimentary drinks. The room was lovely overlooking the sea. The attached Indian restaurant was excellent. Butter Masala chicken, wow! On the first morning staff already knew us by name. Breakfast was included and offered way more than the standard items. It felt like we were on an exotic holiday far away from Dublin. Look forward to going back.
