We’re having a facelift… It started with new TV’s and carpets in BrookHall and then last week we put all new chairs and couches in the Waterside Lounge.
It’s an ongoing process over the winter months, so next time you’re down we think you’ll notice that we’re a bit glammed up!

GAME SEASON AT THE STRAWBERRY TREE

October 20th, 2011

From the heady scent of braised pheasant, the deep dark flavour of slow-cooked venison to the delicate taste of Woodcock and Snipe, a contented reliance on nature’s gifts is as Strawberry Tree as it gets.

The Irish Times Magazine, Saturday Oct 15th. 2011

October 17th, 2011

Then here we are at a place called BrookLodge, where the reception area glows with candlelight. Here we are at Ireland’s only certified organic restaurant, The Strawberry Tree, eating foraged chickweed and elderberries with goats’ cheese and a plate of organic chocolate. (The restaurant featured on a recent episode of MasterChef, hence the knife clue. Subtle.) Here we are. Laughing and talking, sometimes about the children and sometimes not about the children, and this is no longer a business meeting, more a meeting of hearts and minds.

We mean business! We’re delighted to announce that the BrookLodge is the recipient of the “Business Hotel of the Year 2012″ award at the Georgina Campbell Ireland Hospitality awards, that took place yesterday, October 11th, at Bord Bia’s HQ in Dublin.

This is one superb place to celebrate “wild” Wicklow, especially as the seasons change and the menus adapt accordingly. Come back from a day on the hills to bask in the eco spa, followed by their current harvest offering of a complimentary glass of organic bubbly, with a shot of home-made wild elderflower cordial before dinner. Just to give it that added “wild” touch.
