This hotel was very good from the point of view of the food, the lounge area, the spa part and the bar but the room we had was sooooo dissapointing and really let the review potential down. I would have awarded the hotel 4 if the room had been better. Also I do suspect they have some much better rooms... More

This hotel is in a beautiful location on the hill overlooking Bundoran. Myself and my partner spent £110 to stay here over the May bank holiday for one night and to enjoy the scenery and a relaxing night in Donegal. On reflection of our experience I feel that we did not receive value for money during our stay, which is... More

When I saw the offer of 59euro for an overnight for 2 people with bottle of wine I thought this is too good to be true. Hubby and I arrived and I thought we would be given a cupboard to stay in because of the price. No our room was a large double overlooking the golf course. We had a... More

By far the best thing in this hotel. With one exception- the receptionist who rhymed off some spiel at high speed to us, but without feeling the need to look at us as she did so, her head down to her desk where she was busy doing something more important than bothering to look at us. She managed nevertheless to... More

Hotel was clean our room was very spacious but furnishings were old fashioned. Staff were very helpful and the bar area was nice. No Wi-Fi in bedrooms but there was WiFi in the bar and reception area.. if you were staying here ask for a sea view room as the view over the golf course is a bit dismal. There... More

Lovely location up on the hill overlooking the sea. Great walks starting at the doorstep. This is an old hotel preserving the original style throughout. it is for people who want to reminisce and remember the good old days.Remember when designers were not afraid of colour and flowers and shapes. Some great examples here like the dining room which has... More
