Gourmet Pizza Factory in Dublin

15/04/2025: I confess, I didn't realize Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel was a "real" castle with a long history (c. 1741). Our stay was exceptional -- the staff was friendly and welcoming, the room was large and our request for a "high room away from elevators: was met. Altho the carpet could use updating, the room was immaculate, the bathroom large. The balcony was spacious and offered fabulous views of the Irish Sea. Breakfast was delicious with lots of variety and a friendly staff. We enjoyed wings and steak frites in the Dungeon Bar -- loved it's dark & cozy atmosphere. It's proximity to the DART led us to Bray, and we walked easily from the hotel to Dalkey for a tour of the castle there. Also within easy driving distance of Powerscourt House and Gardens. For whatever reason, I expected a touristy vibe, but it was not at all. Would happily return to Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel.
