The Haddington

A beautiful hotel in a lovely place. The decor is stunning, the room huge and generally a premium experience. The staff lovely and only a very short stroll to the beach. Surpassed my expectations. Free bikes a real bonus too.

I can’t quite remember how many times we’ve stayed at this fabulous hotel, everytime it has been amazing. During the last couple of stays a major renovation has been taking place (without any disruption to guests) involving the introduction of new suites and enlarged rooms……we couldn’t wait to get back to see the finished result and what an absolute delight it was. We booked into a ‘signature’ room, right at the front of the hotel with stunning views of the harbour. Our room was absolutely beautiful, 3 huge windows, enormous bed, sofa, roll top bath in the bedroom, the most extensive mini bar, lovely dressing table, SMEG coffee machine, bathroom with a large rain shower, the most delightful toiletries and ample space for lotions and potions. The towels were fluffy, the bathrobes super thick and luxurious, the slippers were the cosiest ever. The decor is breathtakingly stunning, think peacock blue hues with the cushions and lampshades the same pattern as the wallpaper and the colours of the sofa and stools harmonising perfectly. The bar area is fabulous, opulent colours, rich velvets and cosy corners. Monica was welcoming, friendly and a fabulous asset, such a friendly young lady. Breakfast was great, the continental options were good, the hot options very tasty, they were able to accommodate a specific request with ease which was great. As always it was lovely to see Paula on reception, the welcome is always fabulous, Haddington House just wouldn’t be the same without Paula, the glue that holds everything together. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing one night stay here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had stayed in the old hotel 16 years ago when we held our wedding party at the old 40 Foot so thought we’d come back to see what it’s like following the refurbishment. We were blown away by it! We were lucky to be upgraded and had a fabulous room with amazing views across Dublin Bay. The bed was really comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep. The towels were big and fluffy, and proper slippers and bathrobes were provided. Lots of thoughtful touches in the room like fresh lemon and lime if you wanted to have a drink in the room. We had booked a table in Oliveto for dinner and were seated at a window table. The breakfast the next day is also served in Oliveto with a good choice of cereals, breads, pastries and fresh fruit salad that you help yourself to, plus you can order hot dishes from the à la carte menu. The staff were all excellent from reception to the bar and restaurant. This stay surpassed some stays we have had at 5 star hotels and we would definitely recommend it.
