Wonderful warm reception upon arriving. You will receive hospitality well beyond a standard hotel. Family run, they will make you feel right at home. There isn't much soundproofing in the rooms but guests so keep the noise down. Location is fantastic and has close access to so many local attractions. We can't recommend the Pilgrims Rest enough. Its a fantastic... More

The Hotel feels more like a bed and breakfast initially but is in fact a proper old fashioned family run hotel with evening dinner and a very sweet private bar. The host could not be more helpful, the surroundings are stunning. The property itself could do with some investment but no issues with comfort - huge bathroom en suite and... More

Being hoteliers ourselves I am ashamed to admit that our expectations are ridiculously high and we are more often than not ,very disappointed.After doing some thorough research we decided that we could fly to Ireland from Bournemouth and the Pilgrims rest was just the hotel and...

My friend and I had a wonderful stay in the Pilgrims. I felt immediately at home. Beautiful room and the owners were so very kind. We will sure come back!!

From the moment we walked through the front door of the Pilgrims Rest our journey was amazing. The warmth of our hosts David and Mary we had never experienced before. The freshly cooked food... the beautiful bedrooms ensuite. So many great walks around this area which featured on RTE tracks and trails show lately. Very close to Clonmel and Dungarvan... More

The hotel is beautifully maintained and decorated in keeping with the building's tradition and history. It was once the "Ladies Guesthouse" of Mount Melleray Abbey. In days gone by women could not stay at the monastery and... More

We arrived here for a weekend. We had never been to this part of Ireland before. On arrival we were greeted by David who couldn't do enough for us. The hotel itself has a lot of history associated with the surrounding area. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The very limited choice menu was delightful. Our room was very... More

This family run hotel could not have been more helpful in every aspect of my stay. The room was a good size with a lovely double bed and a rather large bathroom which is a refreshing change from the newly built hotels. Adelightful big bath and plenty of hot water to luxuriate in. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.... More

We had a lovely relaxing stay at this hotel. The owners just could not do enough for you. We visited Mount Mellery which is right beside the Pilgrims Rest and we did the tour of the Vee. It is an ideal location for touring.
