HUNTER'S HOTEL
***
"An Emerald Isle gem, Hunter’s Hotel has romance written
all over it. It’s easy to imagine anguished poets
scribbling love sonnets and the odd billet doux in the
gardens of this 300-year-old former coaching inn on the
banks of the River Varty..."
Hunter's Hotel, the oldest coaching inn in Ireland, is
located 45 minutes by car from Dublin city and 30
minutes from the ferry at Dun Laoghaire . The hotel has
been operated by the same family since 1820.
Hunter's Hotel is not only one of Wicklow's most
outstanding buildings belonging to the ranks of the
commercial middle classes, but an extremely rare and
remarkably intact example of an early eighteenth century
coaching inn." An Introduction to the Architectural
Heritage of County Wicklow. Published by the Department
of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. 2004.
Hunter's Hotel was awarded the Atmospheric Establishment
of the Year 2008 by Georgina Campbell's Guide.
