Tinakilly Country House — Hotel in The Municipal District of Wicklow

Only a review of management and booking.

Received a 200 Euro voucher as a gift in March. Used their website to book a stay in April.

Four days before we were due to go I received an email stating that they would be closed on the second night of our stay and had left a voicemail informing me of the same. I had to contact them multiple times to state that if we couldn't have both nights we would not be staying. This took numerous calls and emails to get this point across.

Looking at previous reviews they appear to be using this practice alot by cancelling regular guests in favour of wedding bookings. I did not know this at the time though.

My partner then attempted to book during October to be informed that they didn't have any weekends free until next year. They also attempted to state that the voucher was only for weekdays at which point I had to intervene and stated that it was for value only without restrictions. After numerous calls just to get to this point and staff not calling us back as we requested. Finally a male manager said that he would happily refund the value of the voucher and I gave him all of my details. He said the monies would be refunded on Monday but would call if there were any issues.

By Wednesday midday still no refund in my account. I sent a long email with all of the facts and what I was told and requested someone to call me back ASAP with an update.

Friday afternoon I received a call informing me that the refund had been processed and should be in my account this afternoon. I asked that I had been told that this would happen on Monday. The lady apologised and stated that she wasn't aware of that at which point I informed her that it was also stated in my email.

Summary

This is the most disappointing interaction that I have ever had with a hotel booking.

The only way to summarise this is to say the following.

If you have booked a room not part of a wedding don't be surprised if it's cancelled at short notice because as a single ordinary customer you do not...

Myself and Deirbhile knew from the moment we visited Tinakilly Country House that it was the perfect wedding venue for us. We got married in Tinakilly on the 26th of July this year – and it was truly the most magic experience and everything we ever dreamed of.

We were so lucky to deal with an incredible group of people during our wedding planning and on the day itself – there are too many amazing staff members to mention – but Roisin, Emma, AB, Chloe, Marian, Derek, Tony and all of the team were a pleasure to deal with and they really went to every length possible for us to ensure that we had the most special day.

The grounds and venue itself are absolutely stunning – we had an outdoor ceremony in the beautiful gardens, and it was just a dream from start to finish. The pavilion is an unbelievable setting for the evening meal and dancing – and we had our first dance in the woods outside with sparklers and music piped down – it was just unbelievable.

The food throughout the day was incredible – from the welcome canapes through to the midnight snacks everything was prepared exactly as it should have been. We have had so many of our guests comment on how delicious the food was, particularly the beef and chicken and chorizo starter which got rave reviews.

I would highly recommend Tinakilly as a wedding venue to any couples trying to decide – at Tinakilly you are made to feel like you’re the only wedding happening that year. They take such good care of you and it really does feel like a personal and homely way to celebrate a wedding in a stunning country house setting. The team also go out of their way to accommodate your specific day – whether it be special requests for the residents bar or help with the biggest pick n mix selection known to man!

Myself and Derv are so thankful to everyone at Tinakilly for all their help and support in making it the best day...
