The Pottery Restaurant in Arklow

We were on coach trip with Just Go holidays recently, service, staff and food all excellent, way above our expectations, room 310, highly recommended. Many thanks Keith and Jane

Lovely hotel, with lovely staff. I would highly recommend this hotel. I had only booked for one night and ended up staying two.

Beauty Rooms, I made an appointment with Margurite in The Arklow Bay Beauty Rooms, for the dreaded Summer Wax, the only thing more painful than childbirth, not so with this fabulous Beautician Margurite, she whizzed through the treatment, keeping me calm & chatting, all the while getting the waxing completed to a standard of perfection, this lady should receive an award for the Best Waxer, I honestly felt so good after, with no pain or discomfort, thank you M, I will be back soon

Arklow Bay Hotel The hotel is located in Arklow in a very quiet area with parking and views of the Irish Sea. The reception was spacious and very welcoming, and the room was very nice and well-appointed, with a kettle, coffee machine, ironing board, bathrobe, and slippers. I appreciated the free water dispenser on every floor. The breakfast was excellent. The restaurant was good. All the staff were very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend returning.

We had a lovely meal here yesterday ....the 2 meals were really tasty, then went to see The Hothouse flowers playing here. The hotel is very nice and the staff were professional & friendly, we will definitely be back.

I recently stayed at the Arklow Bay Hotel and found it to be a pleasant and comfortable experience overall. The location is excellent, with beautiful coastal views and easy access to nearby walking paths and the town centre. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with any questions. The room itself was clean, spacious, and well maintained, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. While the décor felt slightly dated, everything was in good working order and perfectly adequate for a relaxing stay. The bathroom was spotless, and the housekeeping service was consistent throughout my visit. I also had dinner in the hotel restaurant, where the food was fresh and well prepared, though the menu could benefit from a bit more variety. Breakfast the next morning was satisfying, with a decent selection of hot and cold options. Overall, I would recommend the Arklow Bay Hotel for a short getaway or weekend break, particularly for those looking to enjoy a peaceful seaside setting without straying too far from Dublin. The leisure facilities, including the pool and gym, were an added bonus and contributed positively to the overall experience. I would stay here again in future.

It's really nice hotel Highly recommend

The service at Arklow Bay Hotel was amazing. We decided to have our daughter’s Christening lunch in the restaurant of Arklow Bay Hotel and the experience was beyond 5* in all areas. The event organiser Tee talked us through all options and was very kind to accommodate all of our requirements. Everything was then confirmed via email and it was very professional. Upon arrival we were left out of words by the arrangement of the room, the decorations and all the little details - even the individual menu’s were personalised for us with our daughter’s name! The restaurant manager John was checking with us throughout the lunch to make sure everything is running smoothly, which it was. The food was fresh, sourced locally, very tasty and presented very fancy. Thank you so much to everyone for all the effort, attention to detail and warmth - you made our day perfect! Can’t wait to be back!

Stayed for 1 night. Good food, nice staff. Rooms are over price , no aircon on my room on a summer night with the family.

Rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable. Leisure centre feels quite dated, but we still enjoyed it and felt very relaxed after. We booked a dinner package but didn’t realise it was for the Pottery restaurant and not the lounge, and it isn’t actually clear on the booking page if you can pick the restaurant or not. When booking we had actually assumed it was for the lounge since the package was such good value and the pottery seemed too fancy for it to be included in the price! The dinner was okay for me as I found the vegetarian options disappointing, i had soup for starter and for main the only option was a ricotta mushroom pasta which was quite plain. there was a vegetarian cheese souffle for starter too, but I wasn’t personally interested in that considering the cheese in the main. My partner said his food, the black pudding starter and beef main, were fantastic, and both of our desserts were delicious. The dinner and breakfast package is great value, I just found the menu in the pottery was limited for non meat eaters, and definitely for vegans. The wait staff in the Pottery were fantastic and very attentive - Mya, Laura, and a young man with glasses (apologies I dont remember your name!) served us on Sunday and they were great. We had a lovely relaxing stay.
