Brandon House Hotel

What Brandon House Hotel does

Brandon House Hotel is a privately held, family-owned four-star country manor hotel located in New Ross, County Wexford, Ireland, positioned on the N25 between Wexford and Waterford. Founded in 1996 when Paddy and Patricia Quinn acquired the former Five Counties Hotel, the property has been expanded to 78 en-suite bedrooms across six categories and now operates as an integrated hospitality destination combining accommodation, dining, spa, leisure, conferences, and weddings under one roof.

The hotel's core product is its multi-stream service offering: accommodation, the architecturally unique Solas Croí Eco Spa (Ireland's first hydrotherapy grotto, developed with German architect Horst Malman using Elemis B Corp certified products), a 20-metre swimming pool and leisure centre, two dining venues (the award-winning Gallery Restaurant and Library Bar), three dedicated conference rooms including the 300-delegate Kennedy Suite, three wedding packages, a kids club, and tiered fitness memberships. Supporting technology includes a Net Affinity-powered booking engine, a 2024-launched mobile app for guest services and direct offers, and sustainability infrastructure (508 solar panels, EV charging via Go Charge).

Commercially, the hotel runs a hybrid direct-to-consumer model: bookings through its own website and mobile app, supplemented by phone reservations, OTA listings (TripAdvisor, Hotelbeds via Net Affinity), and a Toggle-powered gift voucher storefront with An Post fulfilment. Pricing is per-night for accommodation, per-treatment or per-package for spa, per-delegate or per-event for conferences, and monthly or annual tiers for leisure memberships. Revenue is diversified across four primary customer segments — leisure and family travellers, corporate and business travellers, weddings and special occasions, and spa and wellness guests — with no single anchor client identified.
