“Nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

Nice large room with good amenities. Service was good and restaurant reasonably priced for good food. Breakfast was very good with wide choices. Location is well placed being both handy to Carlow and also motorway. Only one small negative was the small non flat screen tv in the room.

“QUICK BREAK A SHORT HOP AWAY”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

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

“Lovely hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

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.
