Bathroom was so big, shower excellent, wonderful facilities. we enjoyed a meal in the gallery bar. hotel situated in a wonderful location too. maybe bit of pricey side but well worth a visit for a special treat.
IrelandThe grounds were beautiful and the staff was lovely.
United States of AmericaAbsolutely stunning Castle! Beautiful historic buildings, outstanding accommodations that is affordable. Breakfast is a must when you stay here.
CanadaFantastic staff make the Lough Eske experience. Apart from that, it's an excellent location for touring Donegal and boasts a nice restaurant and bars. Nice big rooms, free wi-fi, and charging facilities (Tesla Destination) for EVs. And it's always nice to have a turf fire to sit at with a drink.
IrelandJohnny the waiter in the restaurant, he was incredible
United States of AmericaThis is a lovely hotel, but you pay for it, so one would expect it to be nice! I stayed here for two nights as a short mini-moon with my wife after our wedding in N. Ireland. Big rooms with all the 5* facilities. Very nice bathroom and massive and very comfortable bed. Room service was very quick. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, they made the short stay very enjoyable. Dinner in the restaurant was absolutely delicious - we ate there both nights. As was the breakfast, couldn't fault it at all.
United KingdomThe customer service was truly exceptional and the property, rooms, and common area were absolutely gorgeous.
United States of AmericaI looked at Harvey’s Point as well and decided on Lough Eske. Loved it! Beautiful room and gigantic bathroom.
United States of AmericaThe entire staff at Lough Eske made every guest feel like royalty! The grounds, rooms, and dining were all fabulous. The indoor pool and spa were welcoming and serene. I loved the history tour too!
United States of AmericaThe property is breathtaking. We had courtyard rooms, one for my husband and I and one for our children, ages 18 and 22. They were well-appointed, comfortable and the staff were so gracious. Dinner and breakfast at the hotel were first-rate; the food was exceptional and perfectly prepared. The bar was fun -- there was a wedding party there during our stay and so the bar was quite full and lively. The live music was wonderful. My daughter and I had expert treatments at the spa with Catriona and Haley. A perfect stay.
