Lovely stay at Woodenbridge. Peaceful setting as our room overlooked the river. Breakfast more than excellent and staff friendly, helpful and accommodating.
Beautiful location, quiet but easy to get to. Very clean and spacious rooms with a good view. Very friendly and helpful staff and the food at the hotel was excellent, reasonable price and plenty for your money, Travelled by motorcycle and found parking safe and secure. Perfect location for exploring Wicklow and further south east coast.
I love the staff, the convenient location, short drive to wicklow mountains and other destinations , but this hotel is away from all the city noise! Peaceful. The restaurant in hotel has great food also! So everything is here!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
All staff were friendly pleasant and helpful . Breakfast was good and the rooms were as expected. Maybe a few more healthier options on the restaurant menu would be nice. Like the area and the hotel. Would stay again.
We had a fantastic weekend with you The lodge was quiet and pleasant. The hotel was busy both evenings with a wedding and after(hurling?) match but bar and waiting staff were coping admirably and had time for us. The food both evening and breakfast were first class. We would certainly come again if we visit the area

This is a very old hotel, and that brings its own charm, but it also brings some discomfort relative to modern buildings. The pub served decent food.
We love Woodenbridge Lodge. It is quiet and restful for golden oldies like us! The only thing that could be improved is the TV system. It seems a bit irritated. Thank you.
The only things were short staffed in dining are on first day and walking across the road in the rain to breakfast although the breakfast was good and well run.

Excellent location. Golf course looked inviting.
Bathroom needs updating. Rusty fixtures and fittings. Hand soap dispenser covered in rusty gunk. Did change on request. Breakfast on third day was poor. Black
And white pudding like bullets.
Both nights we stayed there was a lot of noise. The first night (Sat) shouting in the corridor,3am, Sunday night someone continually knocking on one of the doors around 2am. The bathroom I thought was spotless until I put a wet towel over the top, a load of hair floated down. The bed wasn’t made properly as the bottom sheet was too small and kept slipping down, it didn’t look too white either. The breakfast and dining were lovely and so were the staff.
