Dunbrody Country House Hotel

Dunbrody Country House Hotel (also referred to as Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant[1]) is an Irish Georgian manor turned-restaurant in County Wexford, owned by Irish chef Kevin Dundon and his wife Catherine.

Style

Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant was once described in the Irish media as a building which is "beautifully proportioned" and similar in style to that of Queen Anne.[1] Its interior is reportedly "bursting with interesting historical minutiae" and its decorative style balances the "tasteful" with the "sympathetic".[1]

Background

Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant had opened by 2001.[1]

Media appearances

Ross Golden Bannon of The Sunday Business Post published a negative review of his and his compatriots' "depressing" experience at Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant in October 2001.[1] He bemoaned the fact that himself and his accomplices had to pour their own wine, implying that a restaurant of this calibre ought to employ wine pourers, and complained that the food was overcooked and too salty.[1]

When Dundon appeared on the CBS programme, The Saturday Early Show on 17 March 2007, they mentioned his ownership of Dunbrody.[2]

Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant has been praised in the Italian media as well.[3]

Awards

Dunbrody County House Hotel and Restaurant has won the Bushmills Guide Restaurant of the Year 2004, the Jameson Guide Breakfast of the Year 2004 and three RAC Dining Awards.[4] It has been awarded Restaurant of the Year thrice, in 2004, 2005 and 2006.[5]
