Owners, management and staff at the Mulranny Park Hotel are this week celebrating the hotel’s inclusion in this year’s exclusive Bridgestone Guide. Touted as the tourism bible, inclusion in the Bridgestone Guide is widely considered as recognition of outstanding quality, accomplishment, attention-to-detail and originality.
The hotel has been named in both the ‘Top 100 Places to Stay in 2012’ and the ‘Top 100 Restaurants in Ireland for 2012’. In addition it has made the prestigious shortlists as one of the ‘Top 10 Hotels by the Coast’, ‘Top 10 Restaurant Signature Dishes’ and ‘Top 10 Best Places for Walkers’.
The Guide is full of praise for various aspects of the hotel and urged readers to “stop by here, pull up a lunchtime chair in the bar, order a bowl of chowder and brown bread, and you will enjoy one of the best lunches in the West. Ollie O’Regan has been building his team and his talent since the hotel opened, and his cooking is marvellously sure, due in no small part to the fine ingredients from great producers who now surround the hotel”. Referring to the fact that the editors stayed in the hotel with two teenagers, they cooed “So, teenagers think the Mulranny Park Hotel is cool, right? Dead right! They love the pool, the games room, they love the Great Western Greenway so they can cycle on bikes into Newport, they love the breakfasts, they love the glam of the restaurant and they love Ollie O’Regan’s fantastic food”.
Published annually, the Bridgestone Guide is widely regarded within the industry as the stamp afforded only to blue-chip quality. Manager of the Mulranny Park Hotel, Dermot Madigan said that everyone associated with the hotel was thrilled. “This makes the dedication, hard work and commitment of all of our staff over the last 12 months really worth it. We’re thrilled with this recognition and acknowledge that it is a testament to the vision of the hotel’s owners and reflects positively on the efforts of everyone employed here. I also think it highlights the fantastic relationship the hotel enjoys with the local community, local businesses and service providers”.
