I haven't stayed in the hotel as I live in the town so I can't comment on the rooms but I have dined in the Emmet Restaurant on many occasions with my family and I have to say it's very good! The food is fab, the portions are generous and the service is fantastic, overall very good value for money.... More

Dear Sir/Madam, It is very disappointing to read your review of Dooly's Hotel. Yes, the Hotel may be old - in fact the Country's oldest Coaching Inn dating back to 1759. Our Hotel is a listed building in the centre of Georgian Birr & retains many old features. Being an old building, it can be harder to heat but as... More

On paper this hotel looks pretty good, the location is excellent, the car parking facilities brilliant. We stayed for five nights that included the week-end. First impressions were of a tired establishment that could do with a bit of TLC in certain areas, certainly the restaurant and bar had received it but the hall and stair carpets needed replacing. Alarm... More

In initial correspondence with the group leader, it was highlighted the Hotel was adjacent to a Nite Club. With this in mind, some members of your party requested to be relocated to a... More

On a little tour of a number of counties lately I had the pleasure of staying a night in Doolys of Birr. It looks quite massive from the outside but once inside you discover that it is an 18 bedroom hotel, hence quite small but on the night in question it was full of activity with the local dancing school...
