Huge room 210. Bath and shower. Bath high level access and not very wide.
Tap on basin was loose but still worked.
Tea and coffee facilities. All good, but the most expensive room in our 6 night six hotel tour round North West.

We enjoyed our overnight stay here. View from the room was breathtaking and beds were very comfortable . The only downside was the in-bath shower which was difficult to get in and out of and it had very little power.
Breakfast was very good and staff were very helpful and friendly.

Amazing setting and views however let down by the variety of the evening menu there wasnt even a roast choice plus no daily specials which is dissapointing if you stay a few days, limited seating in the bar to eat no other restaurant open so if you dont book then even as a resident you wont get a evening meal. its quite
a walk/drive to the town to find somewhere else. However breakfast in the morning outstanding plus the staff couldnt do enough for you.

Found end of rainbow !

From entering hotel we were very impressed
We were there over new year ,and for hubbies birthday .
From front desk staff , dinning , bar staff and even cleaning staff we were very impressed with their efficiency and how pleasant and welcoming they were.
They all seemed to enjoy their work and this seemed very obvious .
The whole team are a credit to the management .
We attended the gala dinner ,it was an amazing well coordinated experience .
The food was amazing ,from breakfast to bar snacks .
It is not often that you get a lovely hotel and great food but this up there !
We spent a whole day at the spa which was a memorable experience and we both thoroughly enjoyed .
We had a bar snack afterwards as we were so relaxed , thanks to may ! and we cant forget isobel who is a star and found and returned my lost phone plus was a great likeable character who explained the regime to us .
All in all , im nearly scared to give raving review that the hotel totally deserves , as this might lead to us not being able to get a booking again with being so busy .
No negative feedback from us and look forward to returning in spring

Fantastic hotel in Donegal

This is a superb country hotel in a lovely area of Donegal. Our twin, ocean facing rooms were spacious, very comfortable and had fantastic views. My Mum, brother and I loved them. The dinner menu in the bar was varied and we enjoyed all our choices. Mum had an afternoon in the spa and had a great experience. The staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout our 5 night stay. This felt like a luxury experience. We enjoyed very much and fully intend to return for a future visit. I have recommended the hotel to friends.

I loved this hotel. But the rooms need an upgrade. The service in the restaurant in the evening was poor
They were slammed and had a lot of new staff who were pretty slow
