Words from our Customers
"We just loved Dolmen Lodge, and enjoyed our friendly hosts. The grounds and house are just wonderful, and are quite distinctive. Honestly, we would visit Dolmen again in a heartbeat. The wonderful breakfasts are done by Mary, and you may hear Phillip singing or playing music in the adjacent living room. He can tell you about their garden, too. Dolmen Lodge is a charming, peaceful place. Maybe even scenic is the right word. At any rate, I'm very sorry this review is so very late in coming, but glad we had the privilege to be able to visit Dolmen and would def. do it again. Outstanding." Beth & Joe
"Great place!"

Mary was such a wonderful host and so very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Ireland." Andrew & Lauren
