Upon check in, the staff really went above and beyond to make us (confused and jet lagged) guests welcome. Big kudos to Lisa who made the process smooth and seamless and was nothing but pleasant. Christine was there with a smile as well. Room is an excellent size and layout. Will be back for sure!!

Amazing Resort, but Breaffy woods Hotel is very basic. Book Breaffy House Instead

Reviewed By weeroto

Travelled far to get here but did due to the amazing pictures on the website. Arrived and realised the Breaffy woods hotel was next door to a Vaccine centre and the car park was quite busy. Eventually got parked and the got booked in that's when we realised Breaffy Woods is basically the budget version of Breaffy house which is also on the resort and a 5 minute walk away,. The rooms were very basic and so was the overall hotel. It was clean and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was also fine. The pool you had to walk into the Breaffy house area and you had access to there pool which I must say was amazing and the kids loved. The park and the mini golf was also outside Breaffy house and both the kids loved. Overall the grounds in front of Breaffy house were amazing. it had fairy walks and woodland trails which the kids loved. Next time I come 100% I will book Breaffy house Hotel as the rooms and the actual hotels looked amazing compared to Breaffy woods and the cost wasn't much more.

Best to avoid. Not a good experience

Reviewed By leemO1459YC

Good points: Good food. Really good dinners. The breakfast was included and was nice. Staff were super friendly. Good pint of Guinness. Plenty of towels. Good location. Bad points: Layer of dust on blinds in bar. The room and bathroom need so much money invested into it. There was a layer of dust on the bed frame. Bathroom was in very poor condition. Paint peeling off in the shower. The fan was so disgusting. Rush on the basin accessories. Toilet seat chipped. Tiles cracked. There was no warm or hot water. It made showering unbearable. We heard other customers the following morning complaining of same. The room was very cold on arrival. It took a while to heat with very dated storage heating.

Great B&B, highly recommended.

Reviewed By Zara H

We stayed at Dogarry for 4 nights as we were visiting friends in the area. Our hosts were extremely friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The room was a bit dated but large with plenty of storage space. Gorgeous soft towels in the bathroom that were changed daily. Mini toiletries were provided (although we didn't use them it was a nice touch) After our first night we realised there was a big dip in the mattress on one side and when we mentioned it to Bridget she went out of her way to sort the problem immedietly. She honestly couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast was lovely, fresh produce served piping hot every morning. In regards to the location, I noted other people saying it was hard to find but we didn't have that problem. Yes they have a well established garden but there is clear signage on approach and we found it no problem. Most cars these days have a satnav anyway so I honestly don't understand how you could miss it. If we needed a B&B in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to return to Dogarry.
