Stunning hotel within walking distance of the historic city centre. It was even more beautiful than the photos on booking.com. We got an absolutely beautiful room with an amazing view over the city! Bathroom was very clean (and gorgeous). I appreciated the eco-friendly touches all over the hotel from their recycling to energy conservation and more. I will definitely stay here again.

    This is the second time we've stayed at Dalmahoy and we love this family friendly hotel and the facilities. The room was great and the hotel were able to provide a roll-away bed for our young child, free of charge. We enjoy the breakfast spread at Dalmahoy and the kids love the pool. We also make use of the quiet hour for adults in the evening to use the sauna. The cocktail bar was a lovely relaxing place to dine and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there after our swim. We'll definitely be back.
