Unbelievable Fernbank Dublin: Ireland's Hidden Gem REVEALED!
Unbelievable Fernbank Dublin: Ireland's Hidden Gem? Hold My Guinness! (A REALLY Honest Review)
Okay, let's be real. When I saw "Unbelievable Fernbank Dublin: Ireland's Hidden Gem REVEALED!" I was expecting… well, a bit less cliché. But hey, Dublin! Everything’s a bit… extra. So, with a healthy dose of skepticism (and a suitcase practically begging for a Guinness), I headed off to uncover this "hidden gem." And you know what? It… was unbelievable in a few ways. Not always in the way they advertised, but hey, where's the fun in perfection?
First Impressions (and a bit of a ramble):
Pulling up, Fernbank Dublin is pretty impressive. Not quite a castle, but definitely got that grand, slightly-worn-around-the-edges Irish manor vibe. The exterior? Classic. Greenery spilling everywhere, a proper driveway… you know, the works. It's not exactly hidden, though, is it? More like, discreetly located. Finding the entrance was a bit of a mission; my GPS took me around the block three times. The stress! Thankfully, I didn't have to navigate this by myself; the car park [free of charge] and the car park [on-site] were lifesavers.
Accessibility & Safety: Trying to Be Good, They Are
Okay, here’s where I really started paying attention. Wheelchair accessible is listed, which is awesome. Elevator? Check. This is a HUGE win for people who need it, which is more important than I can say. And speaking of safety, the whole place felt… well, safe. CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property… I could get used to it. There was also a fire extinguisher and smoke alarms in the room (thank god). They even have individually-wrapped food options and hand sanitizer everywhere. They REALLY took COVID seriously, including professional-grade sanitizing services. I am very happy for this.
Rooms: More Than Just a Place to Crash (Mostly)
My room? Decent. Not jaw-droppingly amazing, but it had everything you need, and some nice touches. Non-smoking rooms were obviously a plus for me. Huge Blackout curtains. Thank. God. After the jet lag, needed those. The desk was actually a decent size, which is a small but really helpful thing. AND you know what? Wi-Fi [free] actually worked! Internet access – wireless! was excellent. I needed to do some work, and the laptop workspace was convenient, and the Internet access – LAN was even better than the Wi-Fi.
The bed… comfort level slightly above average, a bit on the firmer side for my taste, but the extra long bed was a solid win (I'm a tall gal!). Linens were clean. The safe box was a welcome feature, and honestly, the in-room safe box was great too. Though, I would have liked a better view, but I didn't ask for one. However, even the little mirror was very helpful.
The bathroom… okay, things get a bit… mixed here. Clean, yes. But the shower pressure? A toddler could have generated more force. The separate shower/bathtub was nice in theory but felt a little dated. Toiletries were… basic. But hey, they did have bathrobes and slippers, so points for effort.
The Spa: Oh, The Spa! An Honest Story
I'm going to get real with you now. I wanted to use the Spa. I was so tired of all the walking. The Sauna was fine, but nothing special, but the steamroom was a little bit scary on my first day, because the steam was too hot! I was not so happy. But, let's talk about the Pool with view. It was… kinda nice. No real view, but still lovely. BUT THEN! I went in for a massage.
I didn't ask any questions, I just went in for the service to relax. Well, let me tell you, this massage was… life-changing. Ok, maybe not life-changing. But really, really good. Like, I floated out of there feeling like a brand new human. The masseuse was amazing, knew exactly how to relieve the tension I didn’t even realize I was carrying. The Body scrub was heavenly. And the Body wrap I got was amazing! So yeah, the spa? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Dining: Food, Glorious Food (Mostly)
Okay, let’s talk food. They have Restaurants, plural! Which is cool, and many options to eat at. The Breakfast [buffet] was good. Not the best buffet I've ever had, but lots of options, like the Asian breakfast for some reason. The Western breakfast was more my speed, and there were tons of options. I’m a sucker for a good sausage. The Coffee shop was convenient for that afternoon pick-me-up, and they even had a Poolside bar in case you wanted to drink. The Bar was pretty good.
For dinner, I opted for the A la carte in restaurant, and… here’s the thing. The menu sounded AMAZING. And the presentation? Gorgeous. The food? Mostly delicious, actually.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax:
Ireland is, well, Ireland. You will be walking. A lot. But Fernbank Dublin does offer some cool stuff. There’s a surprisingly well-equipped Fitness center, which is a good way to work off all that Guinness. They have swimming pool [outdoor] and indoor venue for special events, which means that you could potentially have a big party here. They have couple's room.
Services & Conveniences: A Mixed Bag
The concierge was helpful, but a bit… reserved? The dry cleaning and laundry service are always great, and the daily housekeeping was on point. They have a convenience store, which is a nice touch. The luggage storage was handy, and the doorman was always there to greet you. They even offer food delivery.
But the Cashless payment service and contactless check in/out? Genius! But don’t expect to become BFFs with the staff.
For the Kids: Not Exactly a Disneyland, But…
Family/child friendly is listed, and there are kids facilities and a babysitting service. So, yes, the kids are welcome. But it’s not a kid-centric resort.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, Instagram-filtered itinerary. This is MY trip to Fernbank, Dublin, and it’s gonna be… well, let's just say it might involve a few wrong turns, a healthy dose of bewilderment, and possibly a near-death experience involving a rogue scone. Here we go:
Day 1: Dublin Daze and a Dash of Delight (and Disappointment)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Landed in Dublin. The sheer green-ness smacked me in the face as soon as I stepped off the plane. Seriously, the airport carpet was practically the same shade as the countryside. Clever. Now, I'm on a bus to the city center, already praying I don't get motion sick because I have a weak stomach.
- Note to Self: Pack more ginger biscuits. Or maybe a hazmat suit - the airport restrooms were… let's just say they could use a power wash.
- Mid-morning (10:00 AM): Found my accommodation. "Charming" is a relative term. It's a shoebox, but the location is amazing.
- Anecdote: The key fob didn't work, so I stood there, looking like a complete idiot, while increasingly grumpy locals shuffled past. Finally, a woman, bless her soul, poked her head out of her apartment and said, "Ah, the fob? It's temperamental, love. Give it a wack." And you know what? It worked. Immediately. Who knew a Dubliner could fix it with a thump?
- Late Morning (11:30 AM): Wander around the city. Trinity College, the Book of Kells. It's pretty. Yeah, the Book of Kells is impressive, but it's also… a book. A very old book. I felt a sudden, unexpected urge to read the whole damn thing but didn't.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Found a pub, naturally, that's the only thing you have to do in Dublin. Ordered a "traditional Irish stew." What arrived looked more like an unholy stew of brown sludge and a sad-looking carrot. I was hungry, so I scarfed it down. Then, I questioned every life choice that led me to that moment.
- Quirky Observation: The pub was louder than a rock concert, and everyone seemed to know everyone else. They were like one big, boisterous family. Except they didn’t invite me to join. Rude, but charmingly so.
- Afternoon (2:30 PM): Attempted to visit Dublin Castle. Closed. Apparently, it was "under maintenance." Sigh. This is the kind of thing that happens to me.
- Emotional Reaction: Utter disappointment. After being disappointed the whole day.
- Afternoon (3:30 PM): Pivoted - I will go to the Guinness Storehouse! The line was long, but I was excited!
- Anecdote: I was stuck in line for 1 hour and 40 minutes. When I get to the top, I got a beer, and it was okay. It's not my favorite beer ever, but I would never say that out loud.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Dinner! Found a restaurant, was hungry, ate some pasta. Not the best food but was still good.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Went back to the hotel and crashed and slept.
Day 2: Fernbank Dreams and a Dublin Mishap
- Morning (9:00 AM): Okay, this is the day I've been waiting for - Fernbank! I’ve seen so many pictures, I’m like, okay, let's go. Feeling hopeful. I grab a bus.
- Late Morning (11:00 AM): Arrived at Fernbank. It's a beautiful place. I have this feeling that Fernbank is meant to be enjoyed. I will attempt to enjoy it.
- Midday (12:00 PM): I'm trying to enjoy it! The staff are friendly. I am looking at the exhibits.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Okay, here's where things get dicey. I found a little cafe, ordered a scone with clotted cream and jam. LOOKED LOVELY! But it was a trap. A crumbly, dry, choking hazard of a trap. I took a bite, and a rogue crumb (the bad kind of crumb) lodged itself in my throat.
- Emotional Reaction: PANIC. I frantically coughed and gagged, attracting stares from the entire cafe. I felt my face turn purple. I was sure I was going to choke to death on a scone in Fernbank! Luckily, I coughed it up, but not before I was convinced this was the end.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Back in Fernbank. Still reeling from the near-scone-death experience. I tried to focus. The exhibits are fascinating, I'm thinking to myself. I saw some dinosaurs, the people are nice, and the greenness is everywhere.
- Messier Structure: So, I spent a ton of time on a single experience, and it just got more and more overwhelming for me, to the point that I was going to write about the single scone. I was supposed to enjoy Fernbank, but I couldn't get over the scone. Maybe I should have asked for a glass of water with the scone. Who knows.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Back in Dublin.
- Evening (6:00 PM): I am eating dinner. I ordered something new. Hopefully, I wouldn’t choke on it. Luckily, it was alright. Had a few more drinks at a pub.
- Evening (9:00 PM): I am back to my hotel room. I am reflecting. I am thinking about getting a glass of water.
Day 3: Last Day, and Time to Go
- Morning (9:00 AM): One last walk around Dublin. I feel like I'm forgetting something.
- Opinionated Language: Dublin is a city of contradictions. It’s both grimy and gorgeous, chaotic and charming. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you've lived there your whole life, even if you've only been there for two days.
- Late Morning (11:00 AM): Found the real thing. I forgot to buy souvenirs. I went to a gift shop.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Had an Irish sandwich. It tasted great.
- Natural Pacing: The food was good. Finally. I was starting to think Irish food was a myth.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Head to the airport.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): On the plane. Goodbye, Dublin. It's been… an experience. I'm glad I went. I'm also pretty sure I need a vacation from my vacation. But hey, at least I've got a good story to tell, right? And hopefully, I can look at scones again one day without breaking out in a cold sweat. Though, maybe not for a while.
Things I Learned:
- Always carry a small bottle of water.
- When in doubt, ask a local for help. They're (usually) lovely.
- Scones are evil, but Dublin is pretty great otherwise.
Okay, adventure over. Time to go home and try and sleep after the scone drama in Fernbank. I survived!
