Quiet, peaceful; good food, nice bar; secluded

Front desk very accommodating. Made dinner reservations & suggestions where to dine in the old part of town. Breakfast was nice.

Great stay. We enjoyed our time and the hosts were very helpful with suggestions for the area and stops to make in our way back to Dublin. We had a full day to make the 1.5 hour drive to drop of our rental car. Neil was able to give us some great stops on the way.

Very nice place , 3 min walk to main street

Gleeson's Townhouse & Restaurant was the highlight of hotels (12) during a three weeks trip in Ireland. We were met with tea and scones (my ones favorite of the trip). Dinner was an amazing selection of food. Enjoyed relaxing in the restaurant and didn't feel rushed. Breakfast was another winner. It's not that it was the newest or nicest, but it was the fact that it was the very best overall because of the accommodations, staff, cafe and bar/restaurant. The renovations the made on their...

Polite and accommodating staff. Grounds are absolutely beautiful for golfers or families, alike. 20 minutes away from Mullingar and 5 minutes from Tyrrellspass, with shopping, pubs, historical sites (Belvedere, Lake Ennell) nearby. Spacious rooms allow for plenty of room to spread out and enjoy some privacy. Close to all highways to get you where you need to go. Highly recommend for those looking for a taste of Ireland with modern amenities.

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was such a gorgeous castle and our room made us feel like royalty. It had an amazing shower and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful! The restaurant was really cool! We would love to come back!

Great spot!

Staff was absolutely great. Food was as well. I stayed here for 5 nights but traveled 1800 kilometers around Ireland looking at property for my new home with Dooley’s as home base each night as it’s centrally located. It was perfect and I would stay there anytime.

Very simple and pleasant place to stay. Our room and the whole facility we saw were impeccably clean. Beds were comfy. Room was comfortably warm (even tho it was howling outside with freezing rain pelting down in sheets!). We would stay here again happily. Additional note: I suspect Tullamore is overlooked as a town to stay and explore. It’s a cool *old* town that retains its character. Blue Eyes Bakery became a favorite spot for us. Excellent food/pastries. And absolutely *superb* coffee!

Staff was amazing

Coming from the states with extensive travel experience, I can say that it is shocking to have a hotel where every feature feels like the main feature. The restaurants and bar are self sufficient - they do not seem to need the hotel to exist, very uncommon in my experience. In fact, it was clear that there were regular customers there, making me feel very at home. To that point, the staff was extremely courteous and informative of local events.

I was very happy with this hotel, it was exactly as advertised. I liked the free parking and the breakfast was really good!

Wonderful quaint hotel. I was enjoying a beer after work and a Christmas party broke out. Santa, kid choir, snow outside, parents, grandparents were all enjoying the festivities.
