My ‘home from home’ … the staff couldn’t be nicer, always have been. As a regular visitor and 4th generation Birr family member, I love how kind and welcoming the townspeople are to me. Doolys are part of my heritage and the best homecoming experience is to be had there. Marguerite

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" 💖

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 .
