The John Barry Bar in Wexford

05/04/2024: Lovely room with facilities suitable for small children. Food was ok and one of the staff was a bit grumpy towards me and my asian friend(but not my Irish husband or her husband), found quite discriminating tbh. Great value for period we stayed. However pool was very smelly of chemicals so I wouldn’t bring small children there often/long

03/04/2024: We stayed for the Easter weekend and we truly enjoyed our stay. We were a family of four with one toddler and teenager. Plenty to do to keep young and old occupied. With our 3 year old we found the soft play area brilliant as he used the play area countless times. Also another plus is that the indoor soft play is included when you stay and it's no extra charge. Other hotels charge extra for soft play. Our room was a good size as we got one of the dens. We ate in the restaurant the two nights we were there. The food was amazing and the staff are really good and helpful. The only small thing that bothered us was when guests were using the fire exit doors at the restaurant. There are doors at the back of the restaurant which leads to the outside and other guests would leave the doors open when going outside, which leads to a draft coming into the restaurant. There are signs on the door to say not to use the doors but they were ignored by some guests. Can't blame the hotel for other guests ignoring signs but maybe a alarm on the doors might prevent it but it is a catch 22 situation as they are fire exits. But overall a brilliant hotel and we will be back again.
