A very warm and friendly welcome and staff keen to be of help and advise on places to visit. We had a large party one night and we could stay on the restaurant and chat until very late

John France

Loved this place. It’s just beautiful. Secluded but close enough to all the places we wanted to see. The staff was wonderful and the room was clean and very pretty with a great view of the lake. I would definitely stay here again 👍

Melinda United States of America

I would highly recommend the lakehouse Mary and the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is cosy, warm and relaxing with big open fires and the food is exceptional. We had a large room overlooking the lake. We will definitely be booking a stay here again

Lake House Hotel offers a picturesque setting next to Clooney Lake and just 15 minutes’ walk from the 1.2 mi-stretch of beach at Nairn in Portnoo. This charming property has a lovely garden and rooms with views.

Each spacious, elegant room at Lake House Hotel has traditional design and comes with a TV, tea and coffee-making facilities and an private bathroom.

The smart restaurant at the Lake House offers lovely views over the water and serves seasonal, local cuisine including locally caught fish, such as Gweebara oysters and Rosbeg lobsters, as well as Donegal meats. You can enjoy less informal dining in the bar area.

Portnoo and Nairn Golf Club is set by the sea and can be seen from the hotel. Portnoo and its lakes are within a 35-minute scenic walk of the hotel.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.
