The paint was chipping all over and the shower poured onto a wood windowsill that was rotting and there was mould around the shower. Food was pretty good - some local celebrity chef apparently owns it. Presentation was good and portions were good but the actual quality didn't justify 65 euro. The mash spuds were good, not great. The veggies were too well done and soft. The curry soup was excellent but the mushroom just good. The cheesecake was ok but the lemon was amazing. The fish mains were very good. Glad we came but won't be back.

The rooms are very nicely appointed, decorated to give a country house feel rather than an ultra modern hotel; the in-room facilities are not great, no tea or coffee or mini bar but nothing you will die for lack of. The restaurant / breakfast room is open and airy and full of atmosphere but considering it is one of the focuses of the house I don't think it's the best bit. I far prefer the small sitting room beside the bar (which is in itself not too shabby), open fires and a large brandy... very nice. The grounds are huge and just the thing for you to wander around with a hang-over, a couple of hours of fresh air, including a visit to the pot bellied pig and the chickens, leaves you hungry and ready for more food.... Which is really what this place is about. The bar food is great, a little expensive but worth it. I'm giving 4 stars because we cant award halves - 3.5 would be my preference but it in no way deserved 3 so 4 it is!!

The facilities are clean, up to date, everything one would need. We also ate in the dining room and in the Ballast Bar. Gordon in the Ballast Bar was wonderful as was the barman, whose name I failed to get. But a special thank you goes to Kate at the hotel Reception Desk. She went above and beyond helping us with an issue that we had (not an issue with the hotel!). Her helpfulness and friendly demeanor really made a difference. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

The staff are friendly and attentive, and if you are a local you are bound to meet someone in here you know. I visited the bar and grill on a Friday afternoon for lunch which was filling up quickly at 1pm. The menu is varied - Carvery options, fresh fish, burgers, wraps, sandwiches the list goes on! Each time I have eaten here I have found the food to be filing and tasty with food orders arriving in good time. They also have a restaurant - Oyster Lane restaurant which provides a luxurious dining experience. The hotel overlooks the marina and they have their own car park at the rear which is free of charge as long as you are a paying customer :-) So if you are looking for quality fresh food then look no further!

This review is for the accommodations at Jim McGee's. We…read moreoften travel during the 'off' or 'shoulder' season so Wexford was pretty quiet during our stay. Jim McGee's is up the hill, a bit away from the waterfront. We easily walked down to the main shopping area where you will find a few pubs and restaurants. Jim McGee's bar was not serving food during our stay. We drove in from the southwest, making the bar/hotel on our left. From this direction, you turn into the parking area before the building. Parking is behind. Check in is a small area inside the bar with signs from the parking lot making it easy to find. Unfortunately there was no one in this small area when we arrived and a quick look around for staff was needed. The bartender was very nice, she took our information, and walked us through the pubs outdoor patio, up some stairs to the back door while giving us some instructions on getting into the building and left us there to carry our bags up two flights to our room. The stair case is a bit narrow and maybe a little steep but nothing we haven't encountered in Ireland before. Also as seen before, there are no elevators in the building so be sure you can carry your bag upstairs. The room had a 'double door' set up: the door to the hallway brings you into an interior hallway with a bath on one side and a space for hanging clothes and suitcase rack on the other. Just past this is a second door leading into the bedroom. Having this double door set up reduces hallway noise in the night. The room was a triple with a double bed on one side of the doorway which included a TV on the wall at the foot of the bed, and a single bed on the other side of the doorway (sans TV). There was a nice little table with a coffee/tea tray, bottled water and two comfortable chairs. The room was plenty big. The bathroom was a good size, updated, clean and contained the expected amenities, plus wash clothes, which not everyone in Ireland (and most of Europe) provide and were a welcome surprise. Our room overlooked the pub patio and parking area. As I mentioned, it was off season and too cold to hang out on the patio so we had no trouble with noise. On a beautiful summer evening however, it may be a bit loud, so if you are an 'early to bed' sort, and stay in the summer, I do recommend ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones. There is a lovely living room on the first floor, front, for guests. It has a TV, soft sofas and a fire to keep it cozy on cold days. Jim McGee recommends you book your room through their website to get the best rates. Wexford itself has a few attractions in town and nearby. We particularly enjoyed the Heritage Park. In town the eating options were extremely limited during our stay however there are a number of pubs of which Simon Lambert serves their own brew and offer food service earlier in the day. I gave this accommodation 4 stars because as an economical place to stay, although the building is older and they do not provide things like 24 hour front desk staff or an elevator, they do pay attention to the details and check most boxes you'd expect from a good hotel. It is within easy walking of the local tourist sights, the waterfront, shopping and dining. Parking is free as is wi-fi. Remember to pack your plug adapter and to 'turn on' the outlets to charge your phone.

The hotel and golf club is about 12 kilometers outside the city so location wise, that's a plus. We got to explore the Viking quarter of Waterford which I was mightily impressed with. However, back to the hotel. From a promising drive up to the hotel to the actual reality of being in it, it just felt a let down. We were placed in the new wing which had a bland coulda been anywhere kind of vibe. We had a 3 courser later that day and my abiding memory is of the service being very off. Just took aaaaaaages for any and everything to be done. And the food was quite ordinary. This was followed by afternoon tea the next day which again was nothing but average. Being kind really. Went for a walk but weather was miserable which just about summed up the place!!

The golf course is expansive and there is the hotel house, pro shop, clubhouse, cocktail lounge, and formal restaurant on site. When checking into our rooms, we quickly realized that we were not in the correct rooms per our reservation. We had a golf course view rather than garden view and bed sizes were incorrect. Management was not able to do anything till the following day but accommodated our group for the error with a comped 3 course dinner and drinks in the formal dining room. The food between dinner and breakfast was some of the best we've tried on the trip thus far for flavor. Drinks were also made extremely well and the hotel offers free live music in the lounge every other day from 9:30 - 11:30pm. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully historical. The bathrooms appeared to be updated in opposition to the rooms. Note that all rooms do not have air conditioning but they supply each room with a fan and certain windows can open. Golfing didn't start till around 8am so noise wasn't an issue in the mornings. The drive into town was about 20-25 minutes and ubers/taxi rides were about 20-26 euros to get there. Overall, we had a tough start to our experience but they did take care of us, the grounds were beautiful, and it was wonderful staying somewhere that was historical.
