Our selected golf hotels in Wicklow: Marriott Druids Glen - Tinakilly House - Chester Beatty Inn
       |
Marriott Druids Glen**** The Marriott hotel at Druids Heath although sizeable fits nicely into the landscape being built of local stone and only two storeys high, so that it is hardly visible from the Druids Heath course and only evident on the few holes of Druids Glen that pass beside the hotel. Conversely, however entertaining viewing is to be had from the Marriott's "13th Bar".
Constructed in 1999, the Marriott hotel has a modern style and feel about it, yet (ike the Druids Heath course) somehow seems to fit seamlessly into its surroundings, giving the impression that it is almost supposed to be there. Inside you will find a bright and airy lobby, very well designed bedrooms with everything you might need during your stay. For dining there are two options the restaurant which serves very fine food in a conservatory style setting and the lighter dishes that are available in the bar and lounge of the "13th" (the bar looks over the 13th of Druids Glen). The sports section of the hotel comprises the Druids Heath Clubhouse (complete with its own bar) and Pro-shop along with the large pool and full (Elemis) spa area, where various treatments are available along with saunas, jacuzzis and steam rooms. |

The Chester Beatty Inn Small, warm & charming, would be three words to describe this little inn in the folds of the Wicklow Hills close to the famous Mount Usher gardens and all of Wicklow's golf courses. A little country pub with a big heart and a few surprises too! At teh Chester Beatty you will be very well looked after (at very modest prices) and enjoy a little bit of genuine Irish hospitality just how it used to be. The Chester Beatty has twelve very nice rooms all of which have en-suite facilities. Downstairs you will find a traditional bar and a good restaurant serving local produce traditionally prepared. Somewhat surprisingly, there is also a snooker room with two tables and at weekends a small club next door - Clonseau's, which somehow manages to entertain all generations at the same time! |

Tinakilly House**** The fine old country house of Tinakilly lies just two miles North of Wicklow, facing the sea and is perfectly placed for all of the local courses. The house was built in the 1870's and the name derives from the Gaelic for "House of the Wood". A modern wing provides extra bedrooms - added harmoniously to the old section. The restaurant offers dishes utilising traditional produce often combined in imaginative ways. Our prices are based on "Standard" rooms: four-poster rooms and "Captain" suites are available at a supplement. |
The Royal & Esplanade Hotels*** A choice of two finely equipped hotels in the holiday town of Bray to the North of the county of Wicklow. The Royal is on the main street whereas the Victorian Esplanade, once a Bishop’s residence, fronts the sea. Bray is a very popular summer destination and there is always plenty going on in town in the evening. Both hotels have extensive leisure facilities built in, saunas steam rooms etc; the Royal also has the added luxury of a full-size indoor swimming pool. |

The Glenview Hotel**** Folded within the Garden of Ireland, in the Glen o’ the Downs the luxury retreat of the Glenview Hotel hides within its own terraced gardens. The views from the hotel’s “Woodlands” restaurant are as impressive as the cuisine - pure Ireland fills every sense. Brasserie style dining is also available in the new Conservatory bar. The hotel’s leisure facilities are extensive: large indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gym and solarium. The Glenview hotel is very close to both Druid’s Glen and the local Delgany golf club (in fact many professionals choose to stay here when competing at Druid’s) and convenient for all the other wonderful courses dotted around Wicklow’s hills. |
