Attended the IRTS AGM in the Woodford Dolmen with my wife. Everything was perfect from reception to bar/dining room, bedrooms and the conference facilities. The staff were all courteous, friendly and efficient in all departments. Mention must be made especially of Rachel in reception. As the first impression of a hotel is so important, Rachel was cheery, friendly and good at her job and thus created a great first impression. Our room was bright and airy with a comfortable bed. We had a number of meals in the dining room as well as a Gala Dinner. Food was excellent with great service. Congrats to a great team of staff.

There was nothing in the hotel not to like.

We had a fantastic stay at the Woodford Dolmen Hotel in Carlow. The hotel is modern, spotlessly clean, and set in a stunning, peaceful location—perfect for a relaxing break. The staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty of choice and great quality at every meal. A few small suggestions: we stayed during one of the rare Irish heatwaves so I found the room did get quite warm even with the air conditioning turned down, so a fan would be a welcome addition. Also, the hair dryers in the room were a bit dated and lacked power. That said, the charming touches like the little rubber ducks in the bathroom really made us smile, and the beautifully kept outdoor area added to the experience. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and are already planning our next trip!

Everything. The welcome card with a cute box of chocolates on the bed. The bed was so comfy I slept really well, which is something I don't normally do when I am in a hotel. The breakfast was very tasty and the chef was very friendly.

One of the bar staff snapped at me as she gave me my drink in a totally inappropriate glass. When I politely asked for a gin glass. She snapped at me and basically to me to go away. I was shocked, to be honest, as I was extremely courteous to her and would expect the same courtesy back. We left the bar as we felt uncomfortable as she shouted down to me, and people were staring. It was early in the night after the murder mystery evening.

The bunk beds were an excellent addition. The bathroom makeover is very good.

In fairness to the workmen renovating bathrooms in the rooms beside us were as quiet as they could be but it wasn't ideal to have renovations going on during our stay. A little warning in advance would've been nice. I the bathroom I feel the floor tiles are too porous and will absorb fake tan etc. The plug mechanism gets caught in the tap. Getting out of the shower bath is going to be very risky for anyone with mobility issues. There should be a handrail to aid your entry into and exit out of the shower.

Everything. Because of Storm Bert delaying the Ferry from Holyhead we were late, arriving at 9.35pm. The staff provided a meal for us even though the restaurant stopped serving customers at 9.00pm. We could not find fault with any aspect of the hotel. Facilities were great as were the staff. We were at the hotel for three nights and do not hesitate in recommending this hotel to anybody and will stay here on our next trip to Ireland !

Nothing ! As experienced travellers, we could not find anything that we did not like. Please keep everything as we found it.

Breakfast was sensational, the bar was very cosy and the food freshly prepared. The room is spacious and spotless. The carpet is new and thick. The bathroom is spacious, warm and very clean. The bath tube is large and spotless.

Walls are very thin and poorly insulated. We heard the guests in the room next door talking until the late hours, and they weren't necessarily being loud. I personally prefer firmer mattresses, but for those who like soft ones, this is perfect. On arrival, My name seemed to have amused the male staff at the reception. What a shame, as no one likes to know that their name is a reason for giggles.

The food was lovely, I did think breakfast should be included in the price. Hotel is lovely but expensive, continental breakfast could be included. The gardens are well kept.

Maybe the next time we might ask for a room further away from Main entrance. There was a certain amount of talking and horn blowing for a time == late enough.

Room was good size,around a forest nice view.Clean.

I would really appreciate it if I had a fridge in the room, and it should be extra charge.?!?!?! R u crazy I have been to another countries 3-star hotel and even they had it. Not so professional for a 4 star hotel,also the price that we paid in January. I ask for the closest one and the reception lady didn't even look for other one. She gave me almost the furthest one. :(

The staff are very nice, especially the housekeeping and the dining room staff. The duty manager Willy is a gentleman and brilliant at his job. The room was spacious and spotless, with a bath and excellent shower.

The room was extremely hot on the 1st and second night, to the point of disturbing sleep, also there's a spotlight pointing at the hotel which hits the window. Only one vegan option in the evening and none at lunch, disappointed because I had dinner there last year and there was at least 3 options, all of which were delicious.
