“St. Mary's Secondary School Reunion”

Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

Our 50th school reunion dinner was held in the Downhill House Hotel on May 11th this year. The Staff were extremely professional and pleasant and so helpful with all our inquiries. The Lough Conn room was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the meal was excellent. Well done to Rachel Karen and staff. Keep up the good work

“Friendliest Hotel in Ireland”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

I recently stayed at the Downhill House Hotel on business for four nights and from the moment I walked through the door until the moment I departed I received nothing but 1st class customer service. The staff are amongst some of the friendliest warmest hotel staff I have ever encountered (I stay in hotels quiet regularly). My reservation was handled... More

Last visited this hotel, which sits close to the Moy river, the best salmon river in western Europe, in 2008.
