I ate dinner in the bar in the evening and it was lovely (the views would have been lovely but it was wintertime so it was dark) the staff were really nice on reception and in the bar area-No problem with the hotel whatsoever (The Drift Inn pub next door is really nice if you fancy a local drink somewhere different) it’s a bit of a walk into the town if you’re elderly/disabled but there seemed to be enough taxis about for anyone wanting to check out the town

It was the 1st time I’d stayed there but I’d definitely go back because it was really lovely-couldn’t find anything to dislike

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our rooms were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed 3 nights and the scenery was just stunning from the resturant.(well the whole County of Donegal is beautiful!) The food was delicious too. I enjoyed the swimming pool every morning before our "big breakfast. " I even treated myself to the "Relax me" treatment in the Seagrass Wellbeing centre. It was a tranquil and relaxing centre and Megan was a great therapist. My parents and aunt (in their 80's) with me enjoyed their stay very much and would love to come back.

That we had to leave and come home 😢

The girl that checked us in was so welcoming and helpful which was really nice because we hadn't been there before, I didn't get her name but she had glasses. The room was lovely and clean and we had a great nights sleep, such comfy beds. We dined in the bar that evening and the food was delicious too, I got the chicken supreme. Also in the morning we got a fantastic spread for breakfast well worth the price and the views were an added bonus. One other thing I noticed, staff brought the tea out just before we sat down wereas other hotels we've stayed at always bring it out way too early and it gets cold so this was the first place I've been to that the tea wasn't cold! 😂Top marks.

Everything was great I only wish there was bottled water in the rooms like most hotels now, but that wasn't a big issue. I wish there was a water cup fountain for the sauna users, there is water available but it is 1.50 euro a bottle. This definitely wouldn't put me off coming back though as overall it was a lovely stay in a beautiful area.

The room was spotless, adequately furnished, plenty of towels and toiletries, lovely views of the sea. Breakfast was delicious and varied overlooking the sea and golf course. Dinner in the bar was reasonable! All the staff were excellent, friendly and helpful and made our stay very comfortable and welcoming.

We didn't have any complaints, however more wardrobe and drawer space would have been helpful and also a small fridge and some herbal teas.

The staff made sure we could get some breakfast earlier than the usual breakfast time because we were heading off to catch an early ferry. We happened to mention it to the nice lady on reception when we first arrived that we were unable to attend the 8 o'clock breakfast sitting. She said that she would ask a member of the team to make the facilities available to us, it wasn't the usual cooked breakfast but we could help ourselves to cereal and they could do us some toast if we needed it. Very kind of them. Many thanks.

The Hotel was lovely. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The food was lovely we ate in bar both nights of our stay The breakfast was delicious , such a treat to not have to make your own toast lol .

The bedroom was cold in evenings when we would have returned to our room after having our tea. we would have went up to room to relax and watch tv but found it cold while sitting. Probably had weather been warmer outside it wouldnt have been a problem.

The location is amazing and the views and layout are fab.

Bathroom in our room could really do with a makeover There were 3 of us all Housekeeping supervisors so we picked up things that most normal people wouldn’t care about or notice🤣 dusting wouldn’t be a bad idea and there was bits of rubbish under the beds. This is not a complaint as I said it’s just us looking for stuff and not being able to switch our supervisor heads off.

The room was so much nicer than I was expecting. Was very clean and spacious. The whole hotel smelled very nice, even the toilets downstairs were immaculate. The bar food was delicious, the staff were lovely and the drinks were very nice. Good entertainment on Sunday night. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in the hotel and can't wait to come back.

Nothing!

It's central to everywhere, great location 😁 we stayed 3 nights on room only as we are not big breakfast people and we ate in the bar every night which was fantastic. The staff were lovely and the food was quick and tasty. We stay there quite often and to us it's brilliant.

There was nothing to dislike.
