The apartment was a great size and layout with lots of room to move around and ample storage space to unpack and organize. We travelled with our toddler and it was great to be on the ground floor, easy and convenient for taking our child and stroller in and out of the building. The kitchen was excellent and fully equipped. The bathroom was very large and nice. We appreciated having the baby cot already set up when we arrived. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

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.
