Dooleys hotel provided a perfect base for our golfing tour. We stayed half board Monday to Friday. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Food was good with excellent variety on both bar and restaurant menus and ability to mix and match. Could do with more modern room TV's and upgraded bathroom. However a very pleasant stay... More
