Great value for money; beds are extremely comfortable; fantastic big room and great breakfast in a brilliant setting. Certainly recommend and will definitely stay again next time in Bray. As per previous reviewer could do with a new/larger "Old Rectory" sign at the road as the current one is not that visible particularly at night. Only a few minutes drive... More

When we finally arrived :) after a very long day, it was nice to see such friendly and welcoming face ! The room was not very big, but was fine and very clean. Breakfast was great, huge... More

Very hard to find with no Rectory sign day driveway only small B&B sign. The room was very small with a smaller bathroom. There was clutter everywhere. The hostess was very nice and informated. Reviews said walk to town but very long and had to resort to taxi for transportation

My daughter found a review for the Old Rectory online before I left for Ireland. I booked the only two nights that were available the week I was in Ireland and worked the rest of my trip in Dublin itself and in Galway around these dates and it was well worth it. Kay is a very charming and gracious host.... More

The Old Rectory is so close to Bray and main routes yet so far as not to disturb the peace and tranquillity of the location. We had a wonderful breakfast and too much coffee. Look forward to my next stay.

My husband and I spent four nights at this old world B&B last week and could not fault it. The hostess, Kay was extremely helpful and had upgraded us to a very large and airy room as we were spending four nights with her and although there was no lift, we were assisted with getting our bags to our room....

Lovely location just outside of town, ideal for a quieter base for Dublin. Rooms with character, superb Irish breakfast, and some good tips from the hostess about places to visit. Really good value, and a small supermarket next door too.

Stayed here with my wife and son for one night in May. Whilst Bray is a good place to visit it is full of your typical seaside resort B&Bs and run down hotels. Not this place. The Old Rectory is a real gem. As it’s a couple of miles away from the front you would have never found it without... More

Stayed here while visiting Ireland, great location to see the Wicklow county, a little far for Dublin. It will be about a 45-60 minute bus ride to the city. If you are fond of walking, you will find the 20 minute walk to Brey City Center fun. Otherwise take a bus. This place is sweet and charming and the service... More
