One year ago today, we opened our doors….

What a year. A huge thank you to our brilliant team – we are only as good as the people around us and we feel incredibly lucky with the team we have.

To all our guests who’ve stayed with us over the past 12 months a big thank you also. It has been our pleasure having you stay. This business only grows through word of mouth, and we are truly grateful for all of you for spreading the word.

And finally, to the Dungarvan community. We couldn’t have done it without you. The support and help we’ve received over the last 12 months has been immense. The sense of community spirit is a big part of what makes Dungarvan so truly special.

This much-loved festival brings world-class performances to some of the most beautiful venues across the Blackwater Valley and we’re delighted to be listed as one of the accommodation providers for the festival.

We’d like to wish the very best of luck to all involved — the organisers, performers, crew, volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes to make it such a special event.

We look forward to welcoming festival visitors to Dungarvan over the coming days.

Lights, camera, action 🎬✨

We were delighted to welcome An Corsaiceach crew to The Hat Maker this week, where part of their upcoming documentary interview for TG4 was filmed in our courtyard.

It was a pleasure to host RoseAnn Foley and the team as they worked on this special programme celebrating actors and storytelling here in the Déise.

We can’t wait to see the finished documentary on TG4!

The food festival has officially wrapped up — our very first one at The Hat Maker Hotel, and what a weekend it was ☀️

If you passed through our courtyard over the past few days, you may have spotted a few new additions. We’ve added cast iron outdoor tables, extra seating throughout the space, along with David’s favourite piece — the bench outside the bar & café window 😍

These pieces are from Kilkenny Architectural Salvage and we’re delighted to be working with them and recognising their beautiful craftsmanship.

The best part? They’re here to stay.

These are now a permanent fixture at The Hat Maker Hotel — open all day and ready to welcome you in. It’s the perfect spot to catch the sunshine, enjoy a quiet moment, and take in the heart of the town centre.

We look forward to seeing you in our courtyard 🍸
