    • The hotel was lovelyI liked everything else about the hotel except the shower & bathroom which needs upgrading The breakfast was first class
    • The staff was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and the beds were comfortable. The hotel was in an excellent location to tour Horn Head and the surrounding area. It had a nice waterfront park across the street.
    • The included breakfast was amazing - fresh, tasty, local, variety, all with great service. The location was great for our 3 days of family history and site seeing. Thank you so much. We would love to return someday!

    Cons -

    • Sadly the shower was not sufficient qualityIt was super hot around the metal ware bit and water was variable and went to roasting then dodgy We were overcharged for three children's soft drinks which was disappointing
    • You had to keep the windows open for air, but the curtains covered it. If you left them open, people could see right in and the street was noisy.The town itself was the disappointment, as we expected more to be open and being that far north, much more quaint. There wasn't anything that stood out.
    • Hard to think of anything. Maybe just the older plumbing fixtures with toilet tank in room (#38) taking an oddly longtime to refill each time. Overall we loved the charm of this place including the bathroom. Hot water and shower were very good. Beds were comfy and on the soft side as I like. Room furnishings and bedding seemed new and modern.

    Lady at reception and the downstairs seating area

    The rooms were tiny and felt like college dorms, very old and grungy

    10AliciaPosted on: 3-21-2025

    Warm Friendly comfortable Authentic Donegal

    9LizPosted on: 3-14-2025

    Warm, helpful and friendly. Great spot with lovely views.

    Stairs with heavy bags were a challenge. Better to not have Avo on toast on the menu for this market if it isn't fresh.

    8MichaelPosted on: 3-10-2025

    Staff were absolutely fantastic , could not have been nicer . We booked dinner for Saturday evening it was beautiful and very cheap . Breakfast was beautiful also,

    We stayed in room No.8 . It was very warm and we could only open the window a little which was unpleasant ( I know they have to make them safe for kids ) woke up a few times with the heat . met a couple on Tramore beach on Sunday who were staying there too and they advised us to book a front room as there are more windows and u can open them a little bit more

    Breakfast was lovely- plenty of choice on menu.

    The bar area was very quiet probably as alot of popular bars around the town.
