Everything you read in the numerous 5 star reviews on TA about Hunter's is true. Hunter's is a really lovely hotel. The staff are all extremely helpful, the building is wonderfully old and atmospheric, the gardens are very pretty and well tended and our room (number 9) was huge and fabulous. They even light a real coal fire in your... More

Hunter's hotel is absolutely stunning! The staff were very friendly and were always looking for ways to make our stay more enjoyable. They catered to our interest in the hotel's history and elaborated on some of the more notable guests. The food was delicious, and was most certainly the best I had experienced at any hotel. We witnessed a wide... More

We stumbled across this place almost by accident on Easter Monday, hadn't booked. Mid afternoon it was full of families finishing off their bank holiday lunches, so we didn't think we'd get a room, let alone the 2 we needed. We now consider ourselves blessed, pretty well the hotel highlight of our 2 week road trip. Food was amazing, rooms... More

If you love good food and wine, a warm welcome, a cosy fire, good company, located close to beautiful Mount Usher gardens....Hunters is the place to spend a weekend. Celebrating a friends birthday Hunters was a real treat, the delicious menu was enhanced with freshly grown produce from the garden. We enjoyed a fabulous cliff walk from nearby Bray to... More

Arrived to Hunters hotel after a day spent hill walking in Glendalough. I had been here before and was really hoping it hadnt been over renovated since then. I was so happy to see that all of the hotel's quirky charm had been preserved. We had booked a superior room and it was beautiful, a six foot bed and lovely... More

A dreary "Spring" day in Ireland was offset by the warmth and comfort provided by Hunters Hotel. Our family group arrived for lunch and was shown to the little bar, warmed by a burning fire. Drinks having been delivered, we ordered from the menu, and shortly were advised that our table was ready. Despite the misty weather outside, the cream... More

I came here recently with a friend for afternoon tea. The setting was really quaint and old fashioned and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was gorgeous, with scones still fresh from the oven! We got a great spread of food for only €12 each and they also gave us a second pot of tea which they... More

This is a gem of hotel. Started in the late 18th century, as an Inn. Most of the rooms are probably Victorian but could be earlier. Rooms are spacious with old world charm and had to fire lit in it when we arrived. Nice gardens are at the back. We had afternoon tea which was very pleasant. Location is less... More

We stayed for one night, intending to visit Mount Usher gardens and other places around the area. We were warmly welcomed and the staff could not have been more helpful. When we arrived back in the evening the fire was lit in the bedroom and it was great to relax in the warm friendly atmosphere of the hotel. We ate... More

My husband and I took my mother to Hunter's for a two night stay, (9 and 10 March 2013). The staff were all very friendly and helpful, our two bedrooms were large, clean and very attractive. On entry we found a roaring fire lit in each bedroom (wonderful on a cold and wet afternoon!). The central heating in the upstairs... More
