The Enniskerry Inn

Stayed at the Enniskerry Inn the first night after arriving in Ireland from the US. The Inn was not open when we arrived in the village, but Adele answered the door and allowed us to leave our bags at the bar. We told her we were booked for a whiskey tasting at Powerscourt Distillery and she gave us a ride to Powerscourt. We easily walked back to the Enniskerry Inn from Powerscourt. We had dinner in the restaurant that evening and the muscles and fish and chips were terrific. The room was quiet, convenient, clean and in a great location.

Can’t rate the food as I went here for a drink and some local pub atmosphere. I fairly quickly learnt this wasn’t being offered. As I wasn’t eating food (it was 20.30) despite their being plenty of seats free I was made to feel pretty unwelcome and told the only place I could sit was in the very back section of the pub away from the ‘diners’. So if your going for food I’m sure it’s fine but don’t expect a local Irish pub atmosphere as it seems locals aren’t even welcome unless buying dinner.

Currently staying in the Enniskerry Inn, room is nice and clean, plenty of room because of the lack of furniture, no chair, no TV, no table to work on. No complementary refreshment facilities, no kettle, no water in the room. Asked for a kettle and was told they do not supply kettles. I had to buy tea and have it brought to my room on 2 different occasions. I expressed my dissatisfaction to the bar tender and was more or less told tough that's the way we do it here. I was also told of an incident some weeks regarding kettles in rooms. Unfortunately anyone that stays here is brushed with the same brush that caused the incident. I will not be recommending to any friend or work colleague. For 80e just for a bed is really a slap in the face for anyone staying here, and staff have no problem telling you that. A bit if common courtesy and a small bit of hospitality wouldnt go astray from this establishment. PS every hotel and B&B in the country has complementary refreshment facilities free of charge to guests but not here. Went to another establishment for food spent close to 35e where common courtesy was in abundance there. I could of easily spent it here instead but why should I.
