Bellinter House

Stayed here on a Rorys travel club deal. Our room was fantastic & beautifully appointed with a copper slipoer bath. The hotel had left a bottle of prosecco and chocolates along with a handwritten card, which came as a pleasant surprise. All in all a wonderful overnight experience.

My family and I organised an event at Bellinter House at which my family and I were treated very poorly by a manager at the hotel and his insensitive comments. I informed the hotel management team and asked to receive an apology from the manager in question but unfortunately this did not happen. Instead I was told they had come to the conclusion this issue had arose as a result of a misunderstanding and too much drink being consumed. This was ironic seen I was not drinking alcohol and witnessed everything unfold and the comments made. I have to say the kitchen staff, food quality and wait staff could not have done enough on the day, so I cannot fault the food and service in that regard. However we will never return to Bellinter House as a local family again. Very disappointing as we are long time returning customers.

Was expecting a lot from this hotel but it was really quite poor. Check out the photos. Rooms and public areas hadn't been cleaned in ages. It was in a state of disrepair. Paint was chipped, furniture was cracked, things didn't work properly. Service at the bar was sporadic and at times there was no-one there. The spa is a really poor excuse and not at all hygienic Some staff were great but some acted like anything we asked for was a total inconvenience. The food at dinner was really good and they should be happy about that Breakfast was OK but the coffee machine wouldn't work and the staff struggled to mend it Dining rooms are in the basement, don't expect a view or natural light, a bit of a let down Not enough people seemed to care about this hotel to make it worthwhile.

I was attending a wedding there on the 1st of June, so hard to credit a wonderful hotel like this. I have stayed in many hotels around the world and have to say this is probably the very best I have ever stayed in. We got invite to a relations wedding there and my goodness it was just stunning start to finish. Reception where so friendly and so helpful on arrival. We went out the back and served my a 100% fantastic member of staff called Lulu. All day she looked after our needs and never a bother from her, just brilliant. We went on to the wedding and the food was stunning the layout beautiful and last by no means the Staff, wow they made the night , just brilliant , every time I went to the bar they where so helpful. Music was brilliant all night. I live in Wicklow and I will visit this hotel again, rooms where very well finished to a high standard to. I want to thank everyone for making such a brilliant day for us all, and nothing could be improved, it was 110% . Thank you all

We booked for Sunday lunch based on what we now know is a false statement that they have a two rosette accreditation for food. Please note that the AA stopped inspecting ROI establishments in 2022 and that if they were still doing it and if the food we were served is representative of their usual standard of catering, this restaurant would most certainly would not have still been included. We were also unimpressed with the standard of cleanliness and the gardens were a mess - not a good experience at all.

Visited Bellinter House recently with my husband. Although we knew that we would not be staying in the main house the acccomodation we were given outside in a converted shed felt cold and damp. It was far enough away from the main house to feel completely disconnected from a luxury hotel experience. When I made the booking I was not told we would be outside the hotel. It was only a week or so after making the booking I phoned to confirm we were in the main house the staff told me we were staying outside! This is an important point to remember when booking the hotel because the staff only tell you when you ask specifically about this. When we checked in we were asked to pay €750.00 up front for the two nights bed and breakfast and two dinners. I thought this was odd as I have always paid the hotel bill on check out. This may have been because the hotel know there is a problem staying in the converted outside shed! The key they gave us would not open our door when we arrived so I had to drive back to the main house to get someone to come and have a look. They could get a key to open the door so they gave us the second room which was not heated in advance. The room number was not changed for when we went for breakfast each day causing confusion with the restaurannt staff straight away. The bathroom was big but the shower needed to be resealed as the sealant was dirty with mould and the shower mat was grubby and old. You can get one in Pennys for €3.00! In all we would not visit Bellinter House again.

Decided to stay here for one night on our way up north. Delighted we did. Such a lovely old style charming house. Loved the decor, the old ceilings, the imperfections that made the place perfect !! All staff were lovely and friendly. We didn't have dinner but breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice, and the restaurant setting was beautiful, maybe years ago it was a cellar, but it had fabulous ambience and shapes to the ceiling and as for the spiral staircase leading down to the restaurant, certainly different. It's a place that you just want to look everywhere just to see what you find. The bar area was nice and relaxing, bar staff so friendly. There was also a hot tub and a steam room/sauna area. We didn't use either but many people did. Nice long drive up. The only thing that I think it lacked was a bit of a formal garden area to walk around.
