This pleasant country hotel lays claim to the title of Ireland’s oldest hotel, with a history going back to 1608, when it was first licensed as a coaching inn on the old Dublin-Wexford highway - and later came to prominence when gold and copper were mined in the locality.

Today, it is very popular for weddings and golf, and makes a friendly and relaxing base for a visit to this beautiful part of County Wicklow. Under the stewardship of William & Esther O'Brien since 1993, the older bedrooms in the hotel were all refurbished and are comfortably furnished; many of them overlook Woodenbridge golf course and Woodenbridge Lodge offers forty newer en-suite rooms overlooking the River Aughrim. In 1994 the hotel came into new ownership, when it was acquired by Mark and Joseph Scott-Lennon of Fitzpatricks Castle Hotel in Killiney.

As well as The Bistro, food – possibly including some fine old traditional Irish dishes in honour of the hotel’s 400th anniversary - is available in the lively bar (traditional Irish music in summer) and Smokehouse Restaurant operates seasonally from May to September.

*Golf breaks are a speciality and discounted green fees are offered on a number of local golf courses, with other activities for non-golfing partners if required.
