We had a fantastic weekend at Brandon Hotel. From the moment we arrived we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff. We did enjoy the gym, sauna and pool area. Our family room was spacious and beds were really comfortable. The food at the breakfast buffet was good, fresh and diverse. Something for everyone. According my son he had the best hot chocolate :) Overall this weekend was an absolutely treat for the family. Highly recommend for a relaxing family getaway!

Charming but in desperate need of TLC

We had a lovely stay at Brandon House Hotel, and there's a lot to like about the place. However, it's simply not a four-star hotel and the expectation as such let it down for us. The old library bar is beautiful, the view from the hotel is gorgeous and the staff were all very good - but everywhere had a feeling of being neglected, from the rising damp on the walls in the breakfast room to the many functions that didn't work in the leisure suite and the smell of damp throughout. Both the room rate and the library bar food were priced as a fancy place, but for that money I expect quality throughout. I hope the renovations will be extensive, because the place has plenty of charm and potential!

Recently in New Ross for the Kennedy Summer School which is an annual event in the town and stayed in the Brandon House Hotel, this hotel is certainly a very fine hotel, with excellent food and equally great staff such as Alison, Chris, Jennifer, Killian and Mark. I treated myself to a spa treatment with staff member Brea, and she certainly knows her business, I felt very relaxed and comfortable during my treatment. Brandon House Hotel is an amazing hotel with excellent staff, high standards and some lovely views of the area. In all departments, I would give it 10/10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and special mention to Chris for going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure his clients are well served 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Greg Doyle has set the bar high when employing good people including Alison in Food and Beverage Management as she is worth her weight in gold! I definitely will be back as a regular guest 😁

We enjoyed a lovely overnight stay in the hotel . Staff were friendly and efficient and the food was very nice. We have stayed in many hotels on a Saturday night were they usually have entertainment by one person on a guitar singing which usually bore me to death , but what made this stay memorable for us was the entertainment in the bar , which we thought was just another guy singing , but this guy had a saxophone . A collection of flutes , where he sang songs. Did the saxophone breaks inthe songs , and performed some beautiful tunes on his flutes . He kept everyone entertained for 2 hrs without any breaks Playing everything from pop to classic Irish and even finishing up with 80’s disco classics ! Gerry Cunningham was his name , so thanks for making it a night to remember

Parking fine, receptions and surounding areas well finished. Rooms pleasant, although duvets were too heavy for summer use. TV channles limited, although youtube was enabled which kept my son occupied whem required. Food in the bar was fine. Small menu but fresh and came out piping hot. You do have to track down your own condiments though as they are not at the table or offered by your server. Room bathroom, small but well finished. Temperature regulation valve in the shower was broken in our room, so there was no safety lock, nor could water be mixed successfully, therefore the shower had two tenperatures of cold or roasting hot. No use to shower a child and challenging for an adult. I stated this as recpetion when checking out and got nothing more than a 'thanks for telling us we wilk get that fixed'. That was of little use to us as we were ony staying one night....good service would have been at least to offer to see if we wanted a shower in an available room before we left, ask if we wanted breakfadt of or offer discount if staying again. The fundamental that a guest couldn't shower without risk of burns appeared lost on the two employees.

Nice but not great.

The grounds at Brandon House are well worth a stroll through. The hotel itself is an old house with a new extension that houses most of the rooms. There is no lift, which is worth noting if you have loads of luggage. We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant but weren’t impressed with the quality. The bed was fairly hard and the duvet thick and heavy which isn’t ideal for the summer months. The hotel is worth an overnight stay but I wouldn’t recommend staying longer.
