Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Whitford House Hotel is generally regarded as offering comfortable and spacious rooms, with some noting a stately touch. Breakfast is highly praised, especially the availability of hot dishes made to order, alongside a buffet offering fruit and other options. The hotel's location is convenient for exploring Wexford and surrounding areas, with Aldi and petrol stations nearby, but some guests have mentioned that the windows could be better soundproofed against the main road outside.

helpful staff delicious food comfortable seating area dated room cracked tiles cheap stirrers
the staff seemed genuinely happy to help with anything i needed. the breakfast was great. (especially the fresh fruit!). the food in the bar was also delicious and promptly served. i loved that the room included a small seating area, a good spot for reading.
the room felt a little dated. cracked floor tiles in the ensuite were noticeable. the wooden stick stirrers for tea felt a bit cheap for the price point. (tea spoons are always better!).

king bed helpful staff clean room
The large room had a super king bed. The staff, especially Cathy at reception, helped with luggage. She was very kind. Breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I HAVE ever had, so clean.
The remote for the tv was velcroed to the headboard, this i found annoying.

Mediocre Stay with Disappointing Service

untoasted sandwich tepid water
I booked a sandwich through room service one evening and was informed sandwiches were available until 11 PM. After ordering around 9:15 PM, I received word they stopped food service. The menu clearly stated sandwiches should be available. They said that a night-porter had called in sick so nobody could help me until 10:30 PM. Another issue was the bath. The water temperature barely reached warm. Both were annoying situations, I must say.
