Stayed in this 3 star hotel as had one of those internet offers. It was excellent value. On the way in we noted that it does need a bit of a touch up.

We stayed at the Dolmen for 3 nights. Food was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. It is a very short drive from the town centre. The only negitave thing I would highlight is the lift. We had a 1 year old with us. When you get to the 1st floor you still have to go down 3 steps... More

Had a bar meal on our arrival and lunch on the day we left, food was excellent. Service and meal at wedding was fantastic.... More
