In the heart of Birr since 1747, Dooly’s Hotel offers 17 comfortable ensuite rooms with comfortable beds, tea and coffee and the kind of warm Offaly welcome that’s been greeting travellers for generations.
Coach House Bar, the soul of the hotel, serves food, drinks and coffee daily — a favourite for hearty plates, pints poured right and live music at weekends. For special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and communions, the Cumberland Ballroom and Emmet Room offer elegant spaces to gather, while the Bianconi Courtyard provides a colourful outdoor setting for celebrating or relaxing with friends. Just steps away, Birr Castle Gardens await, alongside local activities from golf and cycling to horse-riding and exploring the town’s Georgian charm.
