Summerhill House Hotel  

It was quiet and the breakfast which is included was quite good and hardy.

First impressions were how helpful the staff were. They upgraded us immediately once they knew we were in a wedding party. The food was excellent. Breakfast had loads of choice and piping hot with fresh tea and coffee served at our table. Wedding banquet was superb. Bar staff were really great and speedy service always. Rooms were really comfortable and warm. Really good value for money. All in all couldn't fault the whole experience. We would definitely go back again.

A beautiful location and well kept hotel. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Fantastic location for a wedding.

Wasn't impressed being locked out of the hotel at 12.30 at night. Very hard to get someone to open the door and in the end had to ring the hotel to get in.

The breakfast is pretty ok and would not have taken much to make it very good.

The bed linen had tears in them as had the undercarriage of the bed, the bathroom walls were badly stained from leaks, the bath enamel was badly chipped,the bathroom floors were sticky and dirty to walk on. The hotel bar had a stale smell of beer and we waited almost 15 mins for a member of staff to come to serve us but no one came, so we left. The coffee at breakfast was extremely strong and when we asked for a fresh pot it came very weak and was not drinkable. The smell of stale cigarettes as you enter the front door is not a welcoming aroma, overall I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We were supposed to be staying in the Courtyard but got upgraded to the main hotel. Everything about the hotel was lovely, staff, grounds etc. Were at a wedding there and the food was out of this world. Everything was set up beautifully and really enjoyed the day. Breakfast the next day was gorgeous and will definitely be coming back again

I attended a wedding and hotel provided a beautiful setting, with wonderful food...the wedding dinner in particular, was gorgeous. Very well done and lovely for photographs. Even if it was a weekend break, it would still have been a great place to stay, very comfortable and lovely staff.

The staff at Summerhill House were all outstanding 5*. The food was also excellent, I was particularly impressed with the standard of the food at the Christening which I attended on the Sunday.

I did feel that some of the decor in the bedrooms was a little tired. In particular the room in which my Mother stayed had what looked like cigarette burns in the beadspread. It was also a little cold in the bedrooms in the evening and I was told there was no way to turn up the heating.

We liked the quietness of the area and the setting of the hotel. It was right next to the Powerscourt Estate which we wanted to see. There were restaurants nearby and beautiful scenery in the Wicklow Mountains. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant one night and it was very good. The room was lovely and comfortable and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was also plentiful and good quality.

comfortable roomsbut slightly small.Also toilet was up against the washbasin---not very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent-fresh hot and plentiful

The subject hotel is good at wedding ceremony & honeymoon. It is a good location for visiting Powerscourt Garden, golf field & village of Enniskerry.

The service & attitude is very poor except the operator.

The drive in to the hotel grounds was lovely but the hotel itself left a lot to be desired. A terrible shame becaause the website made it look very promising!!

The negatives outway the positives by a mile!! I was expecting much more and was sorely disappointed!! This hotel was shabby and out of touch with the times. Could do with a make over. 1 wooden toilet seat in the Ladies in the bar was broken and the Mens toilets were stinking. There was a wedding on Fri 19th Aug and took over the seating in the bar. We felt like we interrupting the guests by coming in to the bar standing around with no where to sit down. We had to wait at the bar until they rang the bell at 6pm to get a seat and find a Bar food menu. We were rushing for a concert in Kilruddery House at 7pm so this wasnt ideal. There were pther people in the same situation and were not impressed. Bad organization. The menu was bland and unimaginitive. The Burger was the only substantial thing on the menu. We were told that it may take time due to the wedding. It was obvious that the staff couldnt cope with the numbers. They should have a seperate area for wedding guests. The bar staff were not very approachable they were completely stressed out and we felt that we were irritating them buy ordering food. Made us feel unwelcome. Couldnt understand why they pulled down a shutter after midnight, thought it was supposed to be a residents bar?? Felt more like a gaa Club. My friend ordered a drink at the bar and was told go in to the other bar where the wedding was on. He did and was greeted by a very grumpy rude young girl who refused to to get his order and then eventually git it!! She said she wasnt making any hot port and hot toddies!! She asked him if he was a resident and to go back to the other bar!! Unbelievabley rude and ignorant. Although if the management was a bit better then the staff wldnt be so stressed, unhelpful and overworked. Breakfast was no better, there wern't enough tables. We were told to find our friends and sit next to them. When we eventually got a table there was no cutlery or cups.

Reason for staying was attending a concert at Killruddery House with my wife and friends. We had never stayed in the area before and tried a lot of hotels in the Bray area which had no vacancies and I suppose to be honest we only came to Summerhill House as a second choice. However after staying in the hotel I think it was a blessing that the other hotels had no vacancies as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location could not have been better for the concert and for exploring the area which we did the day after the concert. Unfortunately due to other commitments we could only fit in the two days but we were so impressed with the hotel and the area that we will definitely be back again.
