Nice but old fashioned
Pros:

The hotel is nicely located on the outskirts of the city, so grand if you are visiting

Cons:

The rooms are very old fashioned. Old style bedroom with traditional kettle and tea facilities. Needs a major update. Only stayed for 1 night so cant really give any info on food or bars facilities.

30 Minutes North of Dublin Airport - Convenient Location and Good Value
Pros:

Bracken Court is about 30 minutes North of Dublin airport and it was our last stop before departing Ireland. We already had spent a few days in Dublin city at the beginning of our trip, and Bracken Court was a good option to avoid having to drive in/near the city. The staff was friendly and breakfast was great quality.

Cons:

Our room was on the second floor and the windows opened out to a walkable roof. We cracked the windows open because it was stuffy, but one of the latch safety locks on the windows was broken. It was a security concern because someone could walk in from the roof. We were only there for one evening and didn't complain. I'm sure the staff would have assisted us. Were we to stay there again, we'd would ask the staff about the room location.

Gute Unterkunft um die 1. Nach in Irland zu verbringen.
Pros:

Zimmer war in Ordnung.
Das Frühstück war gut und die Auswahl groß.
Der kostenlose Parkplatz ist direkt neben dem Hotel.
Die Lage ist für einen Spaziergang zum Strand optimal.

Cons:

Aufgrund des verspäteten Fluges nach Dublin und langer Zeit bis wir unseren Mietwagen bekamen, waren wir verspätet im Hotel. Leider gab es deshalb keine Möglichkeit mehr etwas zu Essen zu bekommen.
Schade, dass es nichtmal eine Kleinigkeit für solche Fälle gibt.
