My group of 4 golfers stayed here for 9 straight nights as we played all the local courses. Host Martin was very accomodating and we had an excellant visit. He was very flexible about morning breakfast time and menu - very welcome since we had different tee times and drive trip each AM. Highly recommended. More

Ireland is so beautiful. County Donegal is even more beautiful. And if you stay in a special B&B in Letterkenny called Hillcrest House that is not without reason approved to be the number one in the northwest of Ireland, then your holidays will be a hundred percent success. The most important factor of the pleasure you receive at Hillcrest House... More

I first found Martin and the Hillcrest House when I was doing an international search for a chef in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. Martin worked with me "across the pond" to create a beautiful cake which he personally delivered to my boyfriend and his daughter. I have been to Letterkenny many times since, and have had the pleasure of having brunch... More

After staying a several B&B's where there was little or no interaction with the hosts, Chef Martin came to the rescue! Martin's gracious mother met us when we arrived and gave us a choice of rooms and provided us with tips for dinner in town along with directions. When we returned we were greeted by Chef Martin. He engaged us... More

Back at Martin’s again for 10 days. The fourth time at Hillcrest House we think that we now belong to the regulars. Travelling a good distance from a small town north of Hamburg/Germany we found „our place“ to stay in Donegal as we got introduced to the real irish hospitality and especially to „OurMartin“ (the owner) who is the prototype...

Martin Anderson, the owner of Hillcrest House B&B where I stayed for 3 nights, is a great chef and a great host! The Hillcrest House feels like a home, with big, overstuffed chairs in the cozy lounge, a bright dining room, and my en suite bedroom was clean and comfortable! I had read the reviews on TripAdvisor.com before my trip,... More
