Excellent location for overnight stay as we drove through beautiful north Donegal. First visited the district in 1963! The hotel was welcoming and comfortable with good food and large bedroom. Love the wide pillows which fit the super-king size bed!

Location, location, location! This hotel overlooks a lovely Bay and the beach is across the road from the hotel. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and this all made our stay (2 nights) very pleasant. The area of Dunfanaghy is absolutely amazing and a good location to explore all the great things around there.

Over-bath shower is a little cramped. TV reception in our bedroom wasn't good but we didn't look for help as we opted to get extra sleep instead!

Bed mattresses and pillows were quite hard, and we missed having a down (feather) duvet and pillows. Also the water pressure in showers extremely low and the hot water was inconsistent. The breakfast was very limited and basic. Coffee was weak.
The staff were lovely, especially at the desk.

The room we were in is in desperate need of a make over. The shower and bathroom were ancient! Room was definitely over priced for what you got.
Staff were brilliant as always! Breakfast was delicious.

The standard of room for that amount of money that I paid it was a disgrace. Various parts of the bathroom were damaged, stain in the middle of the bath, and hole in the side of the bath panel. Skylight in bathroom was filthy also. Awful musty smell when first entering the room. Will be staying elsewhere next time.
Breakfast was superb, location was fantastic. Staff were excellent.

The price, way too expensive for this standard of hotel. Music far too loud in the bar. A three piece blues band were playing, top quality musicians, but you don't need such a high volume. Two of our party went to bed as they couldn't stand the high vol.
Breakfast was very good, lots of it.
