Haddington House♡

A very pleasant stay

I booked this hotel on Trivago but when I arrived Trivago had cancelled my booking without my knowledge or permission. They did however refund me my money. The owner gave me a reasonable deal in order not to disappoint me. The hotel is very cosy and homely and the staff were wonderful. The breakfasts were first class. My room for a double was very small and had some of the basics missing. There was no wardrobe, no hangers, no chest of drawers, no ironing board, iron or fridge, all of which I expect in a 4 star hotel. However, the owner did supply some hangers later when I brought up the subject. There were pegs sticking out of the wall about 6 feet from the ground and that is where I was supposed to hang my clothes. She left a stool so that I could reach the pegs. I would never sleep in a room with clothes hanging around as it would look like bed-sit land. Many of the reviews state how spacious the rooms in this hotel were but mine certainly was not. However, despite the obvious drawbacks, I enjoyed my stay very much. The food was very good, the location was excellent and the room was very comfortable. However, I would never pay the 295 Euros the owner claimed this room usually cost.

We love it here and were so looking forward to a return visit. The rooms at the front are close to completion so our room was at the back. It was lovely, spacious and beautifully decorated, with lots of gorgeous bits and bobs. Very thoughtful additions such as straw beach bag for when it’s hot and a hot water bottle when a little cooler, obviously there is a charge if you ‘forget’ to leave them in the room on departure. The weather was kind to us so we were able to sit outside for a drink, the bar area is also fabulous, stunning decor and a very quaffable selection of cocktails. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was fabulous, there is a separate review. We did have an issue at breakfast however it was professionally dealt with by Paula on reception. Our feedback was constructively received. Another wonderful stay, we have reluctantly reduced our rating from ‘excellent’ to ‘very good’ in relation to our breakfast experience. We absolutely will return and hopefully will be able to stay in one of the newly renovated rooms.

Excellent stay, very comfortable, spacious and clean rooms and hotel all round with a very friendly and helpful welcome. Restaurant is a great choice for good quality food and big portion sizes. Outdoor bar and seating area with great views is a bonus and a perfect place for relaxing on a sunny day. Great transport links to Dublin and further south with the DART only a 5 min walk away. Safe and welcoming location.

Didn’t like the face that check in was 3:00 and wanted some food at 3:30 but was told the kitchen was closed to prepare for the evening service. Also no room service which I found very odd
