Summerhill House Hotel

I don’t think I have ever left such a negative review but I felt I had to be honest. The drive into the hotel was just beautiful. The entrance also quite nice but that’s where it ended. We were greeted by an Irish lady who did not look up from her computer once to check us in. She then shouted at an elderly group who were going the wrong way. First impressions not good! Then the room… we stayed in room 211… it was awful! We had traveled from Cork and had been to visit glendalough so we were looking forward to a rest before dinner. The heating was on full blast! We had to open the windows which was no problem. Then the bed was a four poster. It squeaked every time we moved and the mattress was rock hard but look once again it was grand as my husband likes a harder bed than me. We then decided to head to Bray for dinner. We couldn’t get a taxi but that was ok as we just drove. Came back to have a drink in the bar and the young boy with glasses was just so lovely and was absolutely run off his feet but continued to be very pleasant and patient. Night sleep, well the room was extremely warm due to the heating being on earlier and the windows were open but unfortunately when we went to bed we had to close the windows due to children running , shouting and screaming around just outside our room at the back of the hotel. These children were not guests I may add.Now we are both parents and I understand children like to play but there were a few Green areas they could have played on and away from guests.I eventually opened the windows again at 11ish but the noise outside kept me awake. People walking on gravel outside our room. People up and down steps in the holiday homes opposite our room and then doors banging. I got about 2 hours sleep and was going to leave the hotel at 4:15 am due to not having slept. When we were checking out there was 2 Ukrainian ladies and a child with the lady in reception and to be honest we were too tired and annoyed to even mention the nights stay. Now this was not a cheap stay I may add and if the room had been up to scratch it would be worth it but unfortunately it was not.

Great food, lovely decor, nice staff and a good price. Decor is freshly redone, rooms and bathrooms seem to be also. Had a lovely walk into the village and a nice dinner in the restaurant. We had a nice quiet night away from the kids and will be coming back to book into the spa for another trip.

My 3 friends and I recently stayed in the Summerhill house hotel for one night and we got a great deal on a dinner, b&b & treatment in the Rainforest Spa package. It was a beautiful little hotel, and the food and service was excellent. We had a lovely treatment in the spa & even bubbles in the spa. Our triple room was lovely too & the beds were really comfortable. I would highly recommend a stay here. Great location

Stayed overnight with Breakfast next morning. Has a fantastic sleep. Everything was so clean with a lovely atmosphere. Candles lighting everywhere and lights in the outside trees. Wished I was staying longer. Staff friendly and efficient. Breakfast was amazing with wide range of food.Hope to visit again soon.

I was a little iffy about staying here because there’s so many bad reviews. But it seems that they’ve paid heed and made improvements. I had an absolutely wonderful time! The staff were so friendly and attentive. The rooms were clean and very comfortable (I stayed in the hotel). I got one of the special deals and felt that I had received fantastic value for money. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and the food was fab. Highly recommend! My only wish is that the bar would open up a bit earlier. But I didn’t have an issue with this because I was able to order drinks from reception which was conveniently charged to the room.

Staff was attentive. We ate both breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Good service. Ample choices of cold and hot items at breakfast. Summer House Hotel is very close to Powercourt Gardens so a great place to stay if that stop is on your itinerary.

I wouldnt stay in this hotel again although its in a beautiful location and the staff are lovely we had a two night stay there was no housekeeping for those two days we had to go looking for things we needed. There was no wifi connection for the tv. The food was just ok

Very happy with our stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The staff was outstanding. Breakfast was superb.

This is a beautiful hotel, just on the outskirts of Dublin. It’s very easy to get to and the hotel and its grounds are in a beautiful rural location. Staff, bedrooms, food all excellent. Loved our break there!
