Hunter's Hotel in

In my mind Ireland has lost so many things of beauty over the decades, but Hunters hotel has not changed since my first visit over 50 years ago. Having been brought there for my birthday luncheon where everything was every bit as good as I expected, even the weather which meant an enjoyable walk round the unique gardens. While enjoying today's Sunday luncheon with relations, it dawned on me how nice if a group of actors could arrive and sit down at an opposite table in period costume and act as though they were part of a Mrs Marpole drama. Especially as the perfect atmosphere is in this wonderful timewarp of a place, to have a number such enactments during the year.

It's lovely like visiting your granny it even smells like grannies

An absolutely lovely location, delicious meals and kind and attentive staff. I highly recommend Hunter's Hotel.

29.09.24 Time flies and everything changes, …but luckily Hunters is a place that has remained the same for as long as I can remember and my parents before me always said it had never changed in the years they frequented it. It’s been 2 years since our last visit (time does fly) and from the initial warm feeling you get when you enter the front door, to the friendly welcome you receive, to then sitting in front of the open fire in lovely old arm chairs is just indescribable. We love room 11 as well as the table beside the fireplace in the dining room for dinner. The staff are truly wonderful and so friendly and attentive. Hunters is a unique and authentic place, steeped in history and is one of a kind. The one and only Agatha C. would have felt very much at home here. Long may it continue like this. We will be back soon again! Thank you! March 2022: When everything is changing in the world it’s nice to see that a place like Hunters Hotel never changes. It is a charming old fashioned Inn/hotel filled with antiques, open fires and photos and pictures of a bygone era. Many related to Hunters itself. It is exceptionally well run with very welcoming and friendly staff. We stayed one night including dinner and breakfast, all superb. After dinner we returned to our room to find the open fire lighting and a hot water bottle placed in our bed. An unheard of touch in this day and age. The surrounding gardens are a delight and they even have their own hens for the free range eggs they serve at breakfast. We will be back.

Rooms are in the style of the hotel, but that means that the batroom is a bit out dated. Overall a great hotel wih friendly stafd

Beautiful old world hotel , matue garden and food was fab Well worth..

Hunters Hotel in Rathnew is definately "Old school", as they say. Beautiful garden and outside area and comfy rooms. My wife and I booked evening dinner, bed and breakfast as we had celebrated our wedding anniversary there last year. The ambience was familiar as ever and the receptionist, Maureen, was as welcoming as before. Our room was clean and comfortable. Dinner was 39.50 for 2 courses, and 49.50 for 3 courses.accompanied by a nice We shared a starter of Goats cheese and pear salad and our mains consisted of Fillet beef and salmon. We had a side of red cabbage and green beans, which was perfect in quality and quantity. As for desert, my wife likes chocolate of any kind and I love apple crumble. The chefs here know their trade and guests sampling the creations are always happy. Our meal was accompanied by a nice Chilean red wine, Santa Digna, which was memorable. After a good rest, breakfast was another treat, fresh fruit and yogurt followed by bacon, mushrooms tomato and poached eggs. Altogether a wonderful experience at Hunters, and we look forward to returning soon.

Following a delayed flight I arrived very late in the evening. As soon as I walked in felt welcome. The service was 100% better than any chain hotel, the whole place is utterly charming and has a fabulous feel to it. I am looking forward to breakfast already.

First class. Wonderful food, service, historic building and gardens. We very much look forward to staying again and recommend the hotel without hesitation. Located within 30 mins of spectacular forests and gardens.

Didn’t stay at this hotel, but I come to hunters on the occasional Sunday with family for lunch. I really look forward to it because the food is delicious. So for starter I always get the soup. For the main, I would have lamb with mint sauce and veg. Then for dessert I’d have apple crumble and tea. The rest of my family would have trout, salad for their starter and maybe beef as main and then they’d have ice cream or a chocolate tort and tea. The staff are lovely the place is clean. The service is quick. It’s lovely to go there on a warm summers day and sit in the back garden and have tea.
