Murphy’s Hotel is situated in the centre of Tinahely, an old estate village in the Derry river valley in Southwest Wicklow. It is well documented that the village was burned to the ground in the 1798 Rebellion. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Murphy’s Hotel escaped destruction as residents fanned smoke out of the windows to create the impression that the public house, as it was then, had already caught fire.

The hotel was purchased by the Horan family in 2005 and opened as a bar and lounge on the Christmas of the same year.

All rooms have been finished to a high standard. Each room comes with WiFi, TV and are all ensuite. The hotel has an elevator for ease of access and a wheelchair friendly room.

The hotel also boasts an extensive menu. All beef is sourced from the Horan family farm, located in the nearby town land of Ballinglen. Its proximity to the Wicklow Way and Ballybeg House wedding venue makes it a popular choice for many.
