A lovely stay. It’s an old hotel with a special vibe but the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was fantastic and my room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Even though the rooms could do with some refurbishment, this places into insignificance when compared to the great food and lovely staff

Dooleys hotel staff were brilliant. The breakfast and dinner was also brilliant the hotel is been done up and you need to know that. The hotel car park is another bonus beside the Garda station and bank. The staff really are brilliant and are so helpful. The food is exceptional and nicely priced. The decor is a bit dated however the new owners have started renovating and it will be better. Yes we will stay again . Well done Dooleys .

Staff was absolutely great. Food was as well. I stayed here for 5 nights but traveled 1800 kilometers around Ireland looking at property for my new home with Dooley’s as home base each night as it’s centrally located. It was perfect and I would stay there anytime.

The bar prices were daft, €6.20 for a small bottle of beer and due to renovations, no draft beer at all. We went elsewhere for beer, as I refuse to be ripped off.

I want to start by saying that our stay was fantastic. The hotel is older, so some things are dated such as the carpet throughout the hotel and rooms. The only downside to our room was there was an interesting smell. Other than that, the Irish breakfast was amazing as well as the staff. Plus free parking! Can’t beat it!

We arrived at Dooly's Hotel Birr and spent 2 hours trying to get in and eventually had help from a nearby business who found Dooly's was closed for renovations) even though I had done an online check in the night before, and that we had been rebooked at the County Arms 2 minutes away but were not notified. My review is for the County Arms hotel where the staff were extremely helpful, the room well presented and spacious, the bathroom was very nice and had a fabulous shower. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was excellent quality. The included breakfast was also excellent quality. The location and grounds / gardens were great also.

Absolutely amazing time at the County Arms as Doolys was having some renovations. We had an excellent breakfast and used the Springs facilities which included swimming, sauna, steam room and a jacuzzi. Overall we cannot say enough about our stay apart from "Thanks a million" 💖

We had a wonderful stay at Dooly's. The staff members (in all areas) were the friendliest, nicest, and most helpful that we have EVER experienced. The food was absolutely delicious and servings were plentiful (breakfast and dinner). Regarding the rooms, the decor and facilities were simple and straightforward, which was fine, and the shower had great pressure and the bed was comfortable with several soft but supportive pillows. Such a wonderful, welcoming experience!

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec 1 lit simple et 1 lit double et finalement nous sommes retrouvés dans 1 chambre avec 2 lit simples. La chambre était vetuste, vitre fendue, poignée de porte branlante, etc... Un peu éloigné des photos présentées. Par contre l'accueil était top, le pub offre une très bonne nourriture et le petit déjeuner est copieux et de qualité. Mention spéciale à Sofiane pour son accueil, sa gentillesse, et son français parfait !
