Wonderfully renovated and welcoming spaces. On a cool night there were small fires in the fireplaces in the lobby and in the restaurant. The dinner at the restaurant was the best of our trip, and the included breakfast in the morning was also fabulous. Walkable little town with several historical points of interest, a Friday morning farmers market, and lots of locals at Joyces pub and bakery. We wished we had booked for more than one night. ![The adjacent 1808 Bar & Bistro](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/767b1bfa-3e5b-4787-a1b8-2b6a8e8958b8-1750379922537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Step House Lobby](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20fbcec8-b720-4fb5-b730-92e975a2367c-1750379922394.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of back gardens from our large balcony space](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1ed79efa-324b-48c0-a369-533867607c70-1750379922806.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front of hotel on main street](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a45f72ed-dbf8-422f-8c47-39ac19083b18-1750379922615.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very nice hotel.

As the hotel is an hours drive from Rosslaire, we will use the hotel as our stopping point when we next visit Ireland from the U.K. ##### Patrick Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Wayne Dec 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We had a very pleasant stay at the Step House Hotel. Lots of free parking outside the very attractive hotel frontage. As it was Christmas time, the hotel lobby was very festive which was lovely and added in was the open fireplace burning to give added warmth and ambience . Check-in was quick and the room easy to find. The room was huge with a big sash window and french doors which opened to a balcony and stunning views of the Leinster hills. Watching the sunrise- even in December- up over the hills was fantastic. The room was slightly tired and sparse- a nice chair or small sofa to sit and look out at the view would have been great. There was tea and coffee making facilities along with bottles of water and a couple of biscuits. The bathroom was well-equidded with a separate bath and wonderful shower. The TV didn’t work properly and one side of the bed didn’t have any plug sockets which was irritating. The bed was huge and comfy. Breakfast was in a lovely space and very good. The continental buffet was small but still had more than enough and more importantly- everything tasted good. Their were a few hot items to choose from but we both had the full Irish breakfast which was delicious and came with toast. A big pot of tea and large cup of cappuccino went down well with us. The area around the hotel is very quaint and a walk along the viaduct is recommended. The Step House Hotel has the potential to an even better hotel than it is if the rooms get freshened up a bit. ##### Wayne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mairead Nov 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely warm welcoming family based hotel. ##### Mairead Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### john Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect hotel in between Cork and Dublin Perfect hotel to stay in before heading back to Dublin.
