Jacob's Well Hotel

Fantastic breakfast. Restaurants food is spectacular! Location is superb! Great walks and hikes and surrounds. Jubilee loop is sooooo well marked and old buildings are gorgeous!

There was an issue with our check-in as apparently I was quoted the wrong amount and the receptionist kept on showing me the correct rates. I finally just said that it should be sorted with booking.com as I booked and paid in full 9 months ago. Felt the situation could have been handled better. Also to families with kids, it should be noted that the rooms are on top of a bar. So over weekends it is very noisy until 1 every morning. There are bands and parties every night. Weeknights are super quiet. So fantastic if you are travelling without kids as you can party and join in the craig.

The hosts were super nice, the location is great too. But you have to really like it. Our rooms overlooked the pub and the beer garden. There was always action in the evening, into the night, sometimes into the early hours of the morning. The house is unfortunately very noisy. Visiting a pub without driving is great. The food in the restaurant is really very good. The breakfast is freshly prepared and is tasty and sufficient. We can recommend it, but definitely pack earplugs ;o)

The soundproofing of the house and that live music was also played into the night during the week.

Jacob's Well is a unique place with an active pub on the ground floor and rooms upstairs. There was a bit of challenging noise from music being broadcast in the garden below but as everyone was inside, they were willing to turn it off which was a great support. However, there was live music in the bar from 10:30-12:30 at night and that was a test for sleeping. But we enjoyed the staff very much and the atmosphere was very friendly and the location perfect for getting to Glendalough and later Wicklow and Dublin.

It would have been nice to have had some warning about the music at night, both live and recorded. It definitely made it difficult to have a window open at night which we would have appreciated.

Property was in a perfect location which I love,clean room and bathroom, bed was very comfy we have very nice sleep and so with the kids.

Overall, We had a positive experience with your breakfast, but there were a couple of disappointments. Firstly, the tea provided was not well diluted, which affected its taste. Secondly, some items that were listed as available, such as hash browns and beans, were not actually provided without any prior notification. These issues could have been improved by communicating the unavailability of certain items or ensuring that the tea was properly prepared. Despite these shortcomings, We still enjoyed the rest of our breakfast and had a generally positive experience.

Beautifully kept and welcoming. Staff were lovely and friendly. Beds very comfortable and loads of pillows. We ate both nights in the restaurant and the food was lovely. Very clean rooms and even entry and corridors. Room was lovely and good temperature. We had a ground floor room and it was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay there and would have no hesitation in staying there again and would recommend it. Parking is only a 2 minute walk away. You can park on the street but staff recommended that we use the car park and we did this.

Meals: I really enjoyed the food, both breakfast and dinner - very tasty and varied menus were proposed and the portions were extremely generous . The place itself: I appreciated the atmosphere in the bar and restaurant which was always friendly and relaxed. Most of all, I liked the fact that the staff did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and easy.

Some of the information relative to transport - taxis, buses etc. was incorrect. The village of Rathdrum needs to have a tourist office with reliable information about outdoor activities and public transport.

this was such a wonderful place to stay. The location was great, the staff was awesome and friendly, and it seem to be a hub of the town for locals and travelers. Helen, Rita, Eleanor, and Noel we can’t thank you enough for making our stay with you that much more enjoyable. The whole staff was great. I’m sorry I didn’t get all of your names.

I wish there was a shelf in the shower to put the toiletries. It’s a little hard bending down in the shower To get the items off the floor. A towel rack in the bathroom, or hook would be a great addition.

The room was large and airy as promised, with wardrobe, dressing table and ensuite. The linen was lovely, plenty of towels and spotlessly clean. The room was serviced every morning and kept beautifully clean. There was a small kitchenette close by for making tea and with access to a fridge. Tea, coffee and milk was provided. Breakfast was included and there was plenty of choice. I really liked the fruit. The pub served food all day and was constantly busy, so obviously popular. The staff all worked really hard and always made you welcome.

One evening there were some noisy people outside but mostly there was not much noise form the pub.

the staff are very friendly the food was good and has a great atmosphere even the locals made us feel welcome

my only issue was regarding the entry to our room which involved us having to go through a passage to an outdoor area to get to stairs up to our room, the area was quite narrow and enclosed and was regularly full of customers smoking, being a non smoker i didn't look forward to our daily "smoke chamber" reception and on one night 2 customers had obviously had a bit to drink and wouldn't move and as I pushed through one said "see you on the way back" obviously joking but still shouldn't have to go through that just to get to my room.

We loved our two nights stay at Jacob’s Well Bed and Breakfast Main Street Rathdrum Co, Wicklow, Staff we’re extremely helpful and friendly ,Owner also run a pub and that’s where the dining area is the accommodation is next door over two floors we stayed in Room 5 which was small but cosy ,a choice for breakfast I had porridge one morning it was so nice it was made with cream and served with banana and honey, pancakes with bacon and maple syrup were to die for ,my husband had a mini breakfast with lovely homemade brown bread Rathdrum is a quaint little town ,we did a nice 3 klms walk of the area ,visited Brittas bay beach, Dunlaoire,Bray,Lucan,and Donnybrook ,I certainly recommend staying at Jacobs Well
