Newbay House - Wexford

Visited for outdoor dining experience. Food was v disappointing. I had St. John Dory fish which was accompanied by mussels and clams Fish was nice but rest of meal was bland-not a lot of flavour, in fact spring onions were soggy and inedible. Dessert was nice but tiny. Other member of party commented on duck being v. average. They found Belgian chocolate dessert to be hard and cold which had been called a warm dessert. In fact all food was barely warm and not hot. Didn't complain as it was our first outing together in over a year. Setting is absolutely beautiful and staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. I would really love to see this venture thrive but food needs to be improved. There are so many good restaurants in Wexford that I'm afraid this standard of food just not making it. Aesthetically gorgeous place for a wedding I am aware this a new venture and maybe things will improve and I really hope this is the case.

I spent one night at this beautifully and painstakingly restored Irish mansion formerly of the Percy French family) is this really quiet part of Wexford -just 4 kilometers away from the town centre. As a couple we had booked the de luxe king room which cost us 140 euros for the night. Breakfast is an additional 15 euros per person. The Room on the first floor of the mansion was very beautiful with a four poster bed and came with TV as well as tea and coffee making facilities. There was no minbar or bottles of drinking water in the room upon arrival. We had made arrangements to meet a friend for dinner that night Monday) which was good as the restaurant is closed on a Monday. The. Irish owner of the property, Dennis personally made us breakfast the following morning and was accomodating with our specific dietary requests. We enjoyed the one night stay especially the fresh air, the view of horses frolicking in the grounds in the early morning time as well as the overall sense of elegant peace at the property. Cuchallan, a cocker spaniel who is the family pet added further character to the overall setting of the mansion and it's grounds.

We absolutely adored our experience at Newbay House Hotel. From the owner Denis (and Cu the dog!), to the staff, the delicious food, the beautiful room, and the amazing breakfast, everything was exceptional. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning. Kudos to the team at Newbay!

I celebrated my hen party in Newbay recently. We were a party of 15, with ages from 13 to 50. The bar and restaraunt area are lovely. The service was excellent, and the staff were very accommodating, with menu flexibility and choices. The bellinis and prosecco were fab. Denis was very welcoming, and his little dog is adorable. Highly recommended.

We had visited Newbay 10 years ago and then it closed down. Now it is only open 6 months, but we were delighted to see that the present owner has brought the place back to life. It is not a perfectly pristine boutique hotel owned by a soulless conglomerate. It is an old country house full nooks and crannies and four poster beds. It is for people who like character and really good food. The owner also lit a fire for us in the drawing room so we could read during the afternoon. It is also close to Wexford town, which is an interesting cultured place. The food didn't disappoint, and the fish was its speciality. We had a superb dinner and a good well-priced wine selection. And we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.
