"The Woodford Dolmen Hotel is an absolute fabulous place for a wedding, the morning of the wedding getting ready the staff were so helpful with everything we asked for, Clare the wedding coordinator done everything she possibly could to make sure we were happy! I don't think there is anything you could ask for that Clare wouldn't be able to do she is brilliant! The grounds at the hotel if you get a nice day are absolutely beautiful, lots of great places for photos."

Collette & Padraig
"From the first day of booking our wedding date with the Woodford Dolmen Hotel, we knew we picked the right place. No matter when I contacted the hotel they were quick to reply. When it came to our meal tasting, wow, what a shock we had. We were the only ones, table was set like a wedding and our own personal menu, the experience was amazing. We highly recommend the hotel to everyone, from the comfort to how they made our wedding feel like the most important wedding, to the friendly staff. By far the best hotel to get married in."
