This was our second visit to the castle in 2 years and it did not disappoint on either occasion. I have come to Lough Eske for 30years and used to roam the Castle grounds as a boy whilst it lay dilapidated, so to see it take on another chapter and breathe life only adds to its interesting history.

This hotel is located about a 10 min drive from Donegal town. Its located close to the lake (Lough Eske) and in its own grounds (large grounds). The hotel is "old school classy" and its clean and decadent. The food in both the Bar and the resturant is excellent and the staff was very good as well. Highy recommended for... More

Having travelled for 6 hours by car we were drained and hoped our destination hotel would live up to its reputation - it most certainly did. The grounds surrounding are stunning and the welcome we received was regal. Great stay. Thanks to Dennis and his team. the only down side we founf some wayward hairs in the bathroom yet the... More

From entering to leaving - 5 star all the way. The breakfast was something else. Never have I experienced the range of the breakfast menu. More

I booked Lough Eske in Feb 2012, as a birthday treat for my girlfriend. The Castle itself was gorgeous both inside and out, and the staff very helpful and friendly. Whereas other 5* places tend to be aloof and such, this was simply not the case here. They were helpful and friendly throughout - when I went out for a... More

Our first view of the castle and grounds was very impressive, a beautiful building in a lovely setting. We were met in reception by Samantha who checked us in... More

My partner and I had the joy of staying in Lough Eske from an offer with Travelzoo. Have visited a few times but this was our first overnight stay, and our expectations just keep getting better and better! We arrived around 2:30pm, to friendly staff and were quickly checked in and made dinner reservations, then escorted to our room by... More

Huge disappointment - didn't feel special in anyway, I've experienced more attention and customer service at a premier inn! Our room was double booked and the place was run amok with children and shabby dressed parents who looked like they visit this 5 star hotel regularly for burgers and jugs of squash??! . We struggled to get a seat in... More

Dear Guest, May i apologise that you didnt get to experience the castle the way you should have. Easter Sunday is a holiday that we facilitate children and their families with activities inside and outside the castle- the bouncing castle, the easter egg hunt etc. It is a great day for a family outing & i apologise that it disrupted...
