I stayed for the first time in the Dunraven Arms over the weekend on a 2 night trip with family.
The rooms , facilities and evening menu where all brilliant, what let this hotel down was its breakfast which was missing prominent items and luke warm at best.
Its staff also let it down, the bar staff where absolutely useless, with 3 of them taking 20 plus minutes to serve 1 table with 3 pints and a half bottle of wine, the breakfast staff where also a let down, when items where ordered such as tea, it never arrived.
While the hotel itself is very nice and has great character , the staff leave a lot to be desired.

For My birthday my mom.booked a hotel very last minute only 130euro for one night, we got a lovely big room number 41 with cute garden view, huge bed , TV , shower , bath and two sinks!!!! we also went swimming pool and sauna . Unfortunately there's no steam.room.or jacuzzi.
Lovely vegan dinner ( chickpea and lentils dish and the chips are best in the world ) very comfy bed, Free room service 24-7, so I called a few times for free teas and coffees , I really loved it and felt special on my birthday, staff were so nice , and I had amazing vegan breakfast ( mushrooms sourdough bread, olive oil ,spinach, broccoli,sesame seeds , very salty, but very tasty, fresh juices , fruits , etc, tea ,, coffee, oat milk, A huge selection then we went swimming pool sauna and free aqua aerobics class at 10am Monday morning .check out is 12 noon.which is perfect.

Placed in the heart of Adare, this is the perfect countryside getaway in such a beautiful village. From small side rooms with lot fires and warm hot chocolate served to you and neat rooms this is a hotel server to forget!

Just returned from celebrating Christmas in the Dunraven Arms with family. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. The service was impeccable, no ask was too great. The staff worked incredibly hard to make it a memorable and special experience. The setting and location is second to none, with coffee shops, pubs, boutiques and walkways to pass your time. Opulent hotels with extremely modern settings sometimes miss out on the comfort and atmosphere that the Dunraven offers. The food variety and quality was fantastic when one would expect bland options during the busy holiday time. The team working in this hotel deserves an award for their attention to their guests. If you are considering a visit I highly recommend you take the opportunity to stay here.

Wonderful experience! The staff were incredibly kind. There was some confusion about 2 beds in the room with the booking. They sorted it out for us no problem. It’s a very charming 200+ year old hotel in an adorable village. The room was quite spacious and comfortable. The beds were a dream. The breakfast buffet had something for everyone and many vegan options. They brought us hot porridge with fruit and had several dairy-free milk alternatives for my tea. Great mid way point between Dublin and the west coast of Ireland where we did our road trip. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay there again.
