Room not too bad, bathroom very dark, general appearance quite scruffy, needs updating. Breakfast was shocking, poor selection, out of date yoghurts, Would not recommend. more

My partner and I attended a wedding in the Dolmen Hotel last weekend and could not fault the hotel. I had read other reviews posted on trip advisor and have to say they didn't reflect any of our experience there. Come on complaining about a blue bottle on your pillow ??? Maybe they should have had a swat team on... more

Myself and my partner checked in to the hotel for a two night stay. We got a great deal because we were on a package. We ate in the restaurant, the menu was very reasonabele and the food was gorgeous. The staff couldn't do enough for us. We had the wedding the next night and the meal was lovely. The... more

Stayed here recently because a friend was getting married in the hotel. I went to a wedding in the same hotel about 12 years ago and the hotel has had no work done since that time only unsightly lodges built on the beautiful grounds.

The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, but let down by their evening restaurant colleagues. I certainly felt their aim was to get me in & out as soon as possible. The food... more

My best friend and I stayed in the Dolmen hotel a couple of weeks ago at a wedding and i just have to say, the staff, the food, the rooms and the service was fab. The Location of the Hotel was perfect and you didn't have to worry about parking. So we decided to stay an extra night and they... more
