The property was beautiful and in a nice nature area (very hilly) although you really need a car and I was on a bicycle so I felt a bit stuck there. The bed was comfortable.

Bray is a bizarre mix of posh Dublin and 1970s faded northern english seaside victorian town. A bit Scarborough, a bit Norfolk. Lots of amenities, restaurants, bars etc
Beach is large pebbles.
Bray Head walk is wonderful (currently closed for rockfall risk, but everyone seems to ignore the barriers and carry on anyway)
Great place to stay for visiting the area - Greystones is a slightly more upmarket version down the coast, Powerscourt 20 mins away, Glendalough 40 mins away.

Bray is a great place to enjoy a relaxed weekend on the beach. This small town is packed with great restaurants and family entertainment (the National Sealife Aquarium and Bray Bowl Arcade). We ate at The Dough Box, The Palm and Butler and Barry - all the food we had was superb!

Beautiful scenery, harbour and promenade but stoney beach.
Beautiful scenery, harbour and promenade but stoney beach. Lots of opportunity to visit Bray Head with amazing walks and nearby places of interest and also a short train ride to Dublin on the Dart.
Spoilt by a few large but low caliber bars along the sea front which get especially noisy/loud music late at night..However, there are some really good restaurants such as Maison Moli (breakfast was superb) and Dockyard No 8..
Would definitely avoid staying at The Strand!

Bray was a delightful surprise!
Bray was a delightful surprise! We booked our stay out of center Dublin on purpose...but didn't quite realize what a fun seaside town this is, nor how convenient it is to use the DART system, nor how enjoyable it would be to have a cliff walk we could easily access (about 7 km. to Greystones).

Lovely atmosphere, friendly eateries and bars and a super place for families. We arrived Bank holiday Sunday at the start of August. There was a fun fair which was buzzing. The whole place was just fab. Would recommended Bray to anyone. Loved it!

I loved Bray the more I experienced the more I loved it , I would definitely revist Bray.
The breakfast at Dockyard no 8 was so good I went back twice.
The wood fired Pizza 🍕 at the Dough box was gorgeous so I went back twice also.
I did try Gish and Chips at the Palm 🌴 but contrary to the menu the Fish 🐟 wasn't in tempura batter and although there was plenty I didn't enjoy it , unlike the mentioned previous places I ate.
I should add that although I'm not a veggie I do not eat meat so sometimes it's difficult to find something suitable on the menu but I can normally find at least one thing.
I will definitely revist Bray.
I could not fault this hotel it is set on the sea front in bray the room with sea view was beautiful. We had a great welcome from Raj . The food was fantastic really yummy with a top rate breakfast every morning. Having drinks on the balcony every evening was fabulous and our waitress Brona could not do enough for us, I especially
enjoyed the cocktail Tuc Tuck thanks Brona 🤪🤪🤪. The housekeeping staff were very friendly thank you ladies. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone .
The interiors and cleanliness of this hotel is 5 stars! In fact in terms of interior design the rooms are incredible and have a gorgeous home from home vibe. Location is ideal very central with lots of great places to eat and drink, and right next to the sea! The complimentary goodies on arrival were also a really nice touch. The shower is AMAZING!
Thank you for the enjoyable stay! We will be back :)
Everything was perfect with our room, we decided to have dinner at the Martello and we stayed a couple of days before Christmas, I had the chicken and bacon pasta and my girlfriend had the veggie lasagne, so suitable for vegetarians too, both tasted great, beautifully decorated hotel and right by the seafront.
Charming boutique hotel. Complimentary cupcakes were a nice surprise. Room decor was beautiful. Small fridge and teapot, nice tea cups, lovely radio, t.v. blow dryer...the room had everything we needed. Comfortable bed and pillows. Awesome breakfast adjoining the hotel.
Felt very comfortable and safe as Guidelines were carried out very well. Hotel was very clean.
Close to shops and short walk to Seafront.
There was a mix up with our room but Management were very professional and sorted out to suit our requirements.
The whole experience. From check-in to check-out was one the greatest experience I have had on my travels. The hotel had guests from Ukraine, and the heartwarming way they were treated was an example to others. The breakfast was this summers greatest.
We enjoyed our one night stay in Bray. The hotel was a 10 minute walk to the beach which was nice and the location of it is definitely great. The room and bathroom were clean. The bar in the hotel was nice and had a nice atmosphere.
Only negatives were that some of the breakfast items were on the lukewarm side.
Also wish there was an entrance for pedestrians closer to the front of the building as we walked into Bray from the hotel.
Nice hotel on the seafront. Delicious breakfast with a very good selection to choose from. Inside bar upstairs outside bar downstairs. There is life music at the weekend at night.
Ciara was very kind and helpful with restaurant suggestions. The beach was a short walk. Ciara helped us solve a problem which helped us enjoy the rest of our time in Ireland.
Perfect location on the seafront, couldn't be better in Bray.
Room was nice, clean, spacious and exactly as advertised.
Above the Palm which was ideal for a drink and dinner.
Really super clean, quiet and comfortable. Had everything I needed and ideal location. Host extremely nice and welcoming. Next time I am in Bray I will be back!
Location was convenient to where we needed it to be (close to Wicklow Mountains) and centre of Bray was nearby. Relaxing beds, lovely shower and felt safe.
