The Woodenbridge is an iconic inn located in the hills of Avoca, outside of Arklow. It is the oldest hotel in Ireland, and is a popular spot to stay, or spend the afternoon. The rooms are comfortable with modern conveniences. They have a hearty breakfast buffet, and the bar was a great place to get an afternoon drink to enjoy on their sunny patio. Their staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nice location.

Lovely location and a range of facilities. Dining room is a bit of a barn and could do with cleaning the windows so you could enjoy the view more. Helpful staff.

Amazing stay! Our room had a wonderful view and a glass door that opened to the balcony. All amenities were on the property with a gorgeous golf course next door. Staff were so kind and accommodating. Parking was very good! The bar had a great selection and a fun place to hang out and have a drink. The dinner menu options were amazing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ireland!

The hotel property was rather dated but this was more than compensated by the excellent staff who could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was good as were lunchtime snacks.

Friendly staff and moved rooms after complaining about late night bar noise. Excellent breakfast and location perfect for exploring Wicklow. Only complaint would be about non electric cars using the charging station slots.

This is an older hotel. Carpets and hallways need updating. The room was clean. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was typical Irish breakfast with plenty of food.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were very cosy and clean. We had the best dinner in a long time in the restaurant and the breakfast buffet was well stocked as well. The only frustration is one of our rooms had a smart TV, but by the other didn't, so that was a frustration with 3 kids. Otherwise no complaints!
