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!

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.
