We had a most pleasant stay in the Dolmen. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, the food was really good and the athmosphere pleasant and quiet. A most enjoyable and relaxed stay. Well done Dolmen.

I had my wedding in the dolmen in April 2013 and I have to say they could not have done more for us, from the months leading up to the wedding right up to the week after, when one of my bridesmaids shoes were found in the hotel and still contacting me to let me know they were there. The... More

We recently had an overnight stay at the Dolmen Hotel. Just over an hour from Dublin. The staff were very friendly and helpful.Food in the restaurant was great value. The breakfast was plentiful, with a good choice of foods, and didn't finish until 10.30.. Good music in the bar. The grounds are beautiful, we will definitely be back

We stayed here recently, to celebrate a wedding. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the rooms were comfortable and clean. The only downside was the sat nav couldn't pin point it. But it is visible from the road if you keep going! Will definitely return.

Stayed just overnight here on a cycling trip, very good price for B&B + evening meal. Staff are super, reception cant do enough for you. Rooms are ideal for what we wanted and its only a 5 minute spin into city center all in all would recommend it no problem at all. ,
