Breakfast was good. Bar well assorted even if seats were a bit scarce. Personel very helpful. Negative that the fireplaces let smoke come into the building instead of ventilating it out through chimney.

Lovely hotel in quite village. Excellent rooms, good breakfast, and plenty of parking.

Parking on the street was tricky. Very busy at the restaurant at hotel which made for congested parking, but the room with balcony over the garden area was peaceful. The town was walkable, especially the viaduct path, and everyone was so friendly!

Nice cosy hotel, reasonably priced and nice pub for a pint down the road.

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.

Lovely warm welcoming family based hotel.

A beautiful hotel and friendly professional staff. Our room was amazing, comfortable, well equipped, quiet and we had a balcony overlooking the garden. There was a large selection for breakfast and the evening meals were delicious. There is a carpark at the back or on street parking. Would definitely recommend

Away from the tourist locations in a more traditional village. The restaurant was tremendous.

Room was “tired & dated “, Ni WiFi worked in it. Bed head board loose and kept rattling, bed much too soft - didn’t get much sleep , kept waking due to uncomfortable/super soft bed Staff were excellent - as was food ( top notch )

there was a leak whilst we were there. this set off the fire alarms at 5am which interrupted a nights sleep and there was no water for showers in the morning. despite all this there was no offer of a refund which would have been appropriate.

Perfect hotel to stay in before heading back to Dublin. Great location to visit Kilkenny, and some of the smaller towns in between Cork and Dublin. Quaint hotel with a great bar and restaurant. Fantastic staff.

Total gem and worth going a bit off the beaten path. 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.

Nice quaint hotel with big room and great service Quiet location would recommend

Charming staff, great bathroom, lovely breakfast (delicious eggs). Would stay again, Borris a very friendly village.

An excellent hotel, would highly recommend a stay here. Will definitely return in the future.

Beautiful hotel with a very nice garden.

A very nice hotel. We were given a wonderful room, very large, spacious and comfortable. The food and service were both excellent. 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.

Lovely—if a bit old— hotel in a lovely village

A lovely hotel in a beautiful Georgian Town. The hotel was convenient for our travels & so glad we came! The highlight was breakfast & dinner. Staff were professional & friendly - &the bar/head waiter at dinner was absolutely fabulous 👏👏👏👏👏

A lovely cosy family hotel. We had lovely food and service. What a find in Borris. Great place to welcome in the New Year.
