Excellent stay at the hotel, rooms were large with 2 double beds in a room, with bath and shower. Staff were most helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good and the evening meal allowed good variety but mostly fried food. Well sited hotel for the beach but 1.5 miles from town centre More

Reception offered to change our allocated room to one with a sea view when they learned it was a birthday surprise for my boyfriend. Food was great. We had the full Irish for breakfast which was so tasty and not... More

We called in here for a drink and something to eat while driving around Inishowen. We got a friendly welcome and took a seat beside the open fire. We got a 2 course meal from the earlybird menu at €12 per head. Very good value and excellent food. The place was spacious, clean, and welcoming. Although this is listed under... More

Stayed there Friday night - was attending a Party there. Lovely place - spotlessly clean/warm/inviting. Breakfast first class - and all for £70 (THAT WAS FOR THREE OF US) Well impressed and would certainly return. Breakfast was fab - whole works and beautifully cooked... Worth a visit if you're in the area. More
