Druids Glen Resort

Absolutely amazing, the staff couldn't do enough, they went above and beyond, recommend. The weather was bad, so chilled for the rest of the day. The next day was cold and fresh, but some lovely walks around the grounds.. great location......

Enjoyed a 3 day stay mid summer. Checkin was quick friendly and Katie on reception was so helpful with evey little query. The foyer is beautiful so comfortable classic large stone fireplace and beautiful furniture. The room was perfect and spotlessly clean. Stunning large bathroom with l'occitane toiletries in plentiful supply. We had a Juliet balcony it was great in the evenings to have the fresh air and views over the golf course. Used the SPA for treatments pure joy reasonable priced and the therapeutic range very satisfactory. The Therapist was lovely and very knowledgeable and professional. We had good in the bar one night it’s very busy so make a reservation especially for a crowd. Food good but portions on the fish on the small size for the price. Amazing walk around the outskirts of the golf course and we walked from the hotel to the club house where the staff were really welcoming and even offered us a lift back to the hotel. The views are stunning. Breakfast was excellent great choice hot buffet but I had omelettes or eggs Benedict to order instead which was no problem and arrived quickly. Great selection of herbal teas and juices. Staff at breakfast were so helpful and friendly nothing was too much to ask for. Beautiful place for a few days I’m really looking forward to a return trip ideal spot for a winter break as there is loads to do on site.

I would never have written a bad review but after my horrible experience at the Drudis Glen I had no choice. Hotel is like a zoo with kids running around the corridors and shouting and knocking doors. There seem to be little to not staff working. Place looks dated and there cracking in the ceiling, floors marked and cushions and chairs stained. It’s more like a 5 staff hotel not a 5 hotel. Would advise anyone to stay away from it and maybe go to Powerscourt which has incredible views, facilities and service!

My first impression of the hotel was quite good as the staff and reception were nice and helpful. The service at dinner was the worst I’ve even seen in a hotel. After we sat down and ordered, our starters came out within 10 minutes. We then waited an hour and 15 minutes for our mains to arrive, and it was a bit cold when it came out, Although the food was quite nice. The restaurant wasn’t busy and there was plenty waiters walking around while we sat there with empty drinks, and none of them looked in our direction. The same thing with breakfast, we were brought to our table and told we could go up and help ourselves at the buffet and that a Waiter would be down to ask if we wanted tea/coffee or to order something off the menu. We were waiting for a few minutes after getting our breakfast at the buffet, as we wanted to order off the menu and get a cup of tea. It was almost 15 minutes after we finished our breakfast before a waiter finally came over. Shocking service which really brings the hotel down, won’t be back.

The grounds and setting were lovely, unfortunately the service we received was slow with a lack of urgency and care.

My dream hotel ... Staff is incredibly kind and friendly. Housekeeping is excellent, and I simply love the modern style and the modern artwork of this hotel, which is situated in the heart of County Wicklow. You will need a car to get there. And if you are into golf (I am not) you will be in seventh heaven. Food is excellent and the rooms are spotlessly clean. We used the Druids Glen as a base to visit family and to explore the exciting Wicklow sights like Avondale Forest Park, Powerscourt House, Kilruddery House, Kilmaccurragh Botanical Gardens etc. It was our third stay and we got a special welcome card from the manager which was charming. Be aware that the hotel is very popular at the weekend with young Irish families and their small children. You will see little babies in the bar, and kids will happily run wild. It is also popular for family does, like weddings, birthdays etc. The Irish love children, so it can be a little noisy at dinner time. So if you are travelling with young children - this is a great place for you. It would be lovely if the hotel could provide a 'quiet space' for people without happily screeching toddlers to enjoy the hotel's excellent food in peace. To summarise: We love this hotel and... We will be back! We highly recommend this wonderful charming Hotel, because it is so much loved - and it really has a heart.
