04/08/2026: Visited yesterday evening for a dinner while passing through. Very friendly staff working well when busy, unfortunately food was not up to scratch. Had turkey and ham , was very bland. Veg was very soft and bland too almost like a bag of frozen mixed veg...Everybody likes their food to be hot but the food was ridiculously hot must have been blasted in an oven ,plate would scald you. Got a baby bowl for my daughter and she could not even begin to eat it for good 10 mins or it would have burnt the mouth off her. Ordered goujons & chips from kids menu for my son and asked for couple of extra goujons if possible instead of chips for him, hes autistic and will only eat the chicken. After a long wait, 5 to 6 of the smallest over-cooked goujons came out for him , and I was charged 13e for them which I taught was a bit expensive. As I said staff friendly, relaxing atmosphere cant fault them but we were disappointed with the quality of the food especially for the price point.

09/06/2026: Absolutely fantastic service every time I visit. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always make you feel valued as a customer. What really stands out is how they remember your order, even when the place is busy and full of people. It adds a personal touch that is rare to find these days. The service is always quick and efficient, and the team works incredibly hard to keep everything running smoothly during busy periods. The atmosphere is great, and you can tell the staff genuinely care about providing an excellent experience. Highly recommended to anyone looking for great service and a place that truly values its customers.

11/04/2026: I truly cannot say enough incredible things about our stays at the Ashbrook Arms. From the moment you arrive, it feels less like checking into a hotel and more like coming home to a place that wraps you in warmth, charm, and genuine hospitality. Each visit somehow manages to exceed the last; something that feels almost impossible, yet they do it effortlessly. The accommodations are beautifully kept, cozy, and inviting, striking that perfect balance between comfort and elegance. It’s the kind of place you find yourself already missing before you’ve even left. The food is nothing short of exceptional; thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and clearly made with care. And breakfast… absolutely magical. Served in the most quaint sunroom, you’re treated to peaceful views of the lush grounds with the gentle river flowing by. It’s the kind of setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer, soaking in every moment. What truly sets Ashbrook apart, though, is the feeling. You are not just a guest, you are genuinely cared for. They go above and beyond to make you feel so very welcomed, remembered, and appreciated in a way that is rare and so deeply special. Without question, this has become our “home” whenever we visit Durrow, and we wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else. A truly unforgettable experience every single time.
