Dunbrody Country House Hotel (also referred to as Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant) is an Irish Georgian manor turned-restaurant in County Wexford, owned by Irish chef Kevin Dundon and his wife Catherine.[1] It is located near the village of Arthurstown.
Formerly associated with the Marquess of Donegall, Dunbrody House was built in the early 19th century.[2] The house was sold in the mid-1990s and renovated between 1999 and 2001.[2] Dunbrody Country House Hotel was opened by 2001.
An October 2001 review in The Sunday Business Post described Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant as a building which is "beautifully proportioned" and similar in style to that of Queen Anne. In the same article, Ross Golden Bannon gave a negative review of his and his compatriots' "depressing" experience at Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant.[3] He bemoaned the fact that himself and his accomplices had to pour their own wine, implying that a restaurant of this calibre ought to employ wine pourers, and complained that the food was overcooked and too salty.[3]
Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant has also been covered in the Italian media.[4]
Dunbrody County House Hotel and Restaurant has won the Bushmills Guide Restaurant of the Year 2004, the Jameson Guide Breakfast of the Year 2004 and three RAC Dining Awards.[5] It has been awarded Restaurant of the Year three times, in 2004, 2005 and 2006.[6]
