180 km drive down to hotel, when we arrived at 5 pm, we discovered that they did not have a room for us, we had a small child with us, we were tired after our journey. They eventually sent us to Treacys hotel up the street, the receptionist at Dooley's wasn't too bothered. We had booked Dooley`s because we thought it would be a better class hotel- Treacy`s would not be in the same class. In short - a total disaster. We should be refunded in full.

Lovely warm inviting hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful which gives that extra touch that you get from a family run hotel that you can't get elsewhere. The food was absolutely delicious and buffet breakfast had everything and more.

Lovely Hotel in a very central location. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Very nice food served in the bar and for breakfast. Lovely music in the bar the Sunday night of the bank holiday week-end. Parking across the road at a reduced rate of €3 per day! Would highly recommend this hotel and would love to return again soon.

myself and 6 friends stayed in Dooley's on Saturday 26/04 it was just an overnight stay. The hotel is in a very central location, the staff were friendly and very helpful the hotel was very busy but still all the staff had time to see to any request that was made. We had food in the Bar which was very tasty and served quickly and the waitresses were pleasant and friendly and took care of our every need. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable and the beds were very comfy. All in all we had a very nice time and would certainly return to the hotel I would give the hotel a very good 3 star and that was the general consensus of all our group

It was a nice hotel, but the wifi didnt work and we were on the 3rd floorans there was no safety catches on the windows they opened straight out, as I had a 4 year old child with me I was nervous about that, over all it was nice and the staff were helpful & friendly

My husband and myself stayed here for Saturday and Sunday night of the October bank holiday, the room was excellent and very clean but the heat was not turned on until very late in the evening and only for a short period so we were cold most of the time we were in the room. We did enjoy the breakfast and the staff were so efficent and friendly also the welcome at reception was second to none. We bought dinner there on the Saturday night and it was most disappointing to say the least, the potatoes were reheated and were tastless and inedible. We would stay there again but steer clear of dinner.

Very pleasant stay at Dooleys. Comfortable hotel with good food. Good sized family room, nicely decorated and furnished. Pity it doesn't have BBC or ITV tv channels. Recommended as a good 3 star hotel, in a good location.

Stayed here over the May bank holiday. We all found the staff to be very friendly, we were greeted with smiles on arrival. We booked a family room which I found very agreeable. The The New Ship Restaurant was a bonus to the hotel, the food was gorgeous and there was a great choice from the children's menu. I would recommend anybody to stay in this hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at this friendly hotel. From the moment we checked in, ALL staff we met had a smile. Our room was lovely and clean, restaurant staff were so efficient. Dinner and breakfasts were superb, with the result we only ate at Dooleys for the meals which were not included in the package. Will definitely return FIVE STAR
