10/10 Excellent
"If you're looking to unwind and relax for a couple of days then I would highly recommend it here. The setting is beautiful and just sets everything up for relaxation. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were great, my wife had to drag me away from the jacuzzi and the swimming pools! She had a massage and facial at the spa and absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend booking the Italian restaurant early, the food was outstanding as was the service. Our mini break was just what we needed, we'll be back."

"Overall fine, however there is no air conditioning. I was told it’s a rarity in most Irish hotels - and even their homes. They did provide a fan on request. Bed somewhat hard for my curvy body. The included breakfast was great - full Irish breakfast if you want."

Woodford Dolmen Hotel

8/10 Good
"The property is a fairly nice place. Nothing special as far as rooms go, and the lack of air conditioning was a definite negative on a hot day. Windows helped but they don't have screens in the windows. Front desk staff was very friendly. Parking was easy. Grounds were very nice. My children enjoyed exploring the grounds."
