Horse & Hound Hotel - Delgany

Award-winning restaurant and traditional pub in Delgany village, Wicklow

Dining & Pub

Horse & Hound's Bellevue Restaurant holds the title of Greystones Most Exquisite and Downright Exceptional Eatery, led by an experienced head chef. The pub serves local craft beers and spirits, including a well-poured Guinness, in a heritage setting with both indoor and outdoor dining. The bar menu also offers kids' meals, and the restaurant regularly introduces new menus that have earned praise from returning guests.

Rooms

Each of the eight beautifully decorated guest rooms has an en-suite bathroom and a flat-screen TV with a Sky entertainment package. Room types include the Small Double, Deluxe Double and Superior Double, with some featuring views of the courtyard or village. Several recent guest reviews note comfortable beds and spacious Superior rooms, while the Small Double is best suited for solo travellers or short stays.
