    Packed with surprises – Good and Bad

    The location was excellent for exploring Donegal, with spacious, clean accommodations. I loved the warm welcome at check-in and the delightful breakfast options. Access to the leisure facilities was a real treat!

    The evening ambiance was disrupted by noise from nearby bars. also, service delays during dining were frustrating.

    irish breakfast
    tidy room
    breakfast hours
    early tee-off

    I absolutely loved the superb Irish breakfast with quality bacon and sausages! 🍳 The room was tidy, and the location near the beach was fantastic! Only downside was breakfast hours not suited for early tee-offs.

    Fantastic Golf Trip with Amazing Service

    I just had a wonderful 5-night stay with my golfing group where the friendliness of the staff truly stood out, making us feel right at home. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, allowing us to relax after a long day on the course. Breakfast was a highlight, with an array of options that catered to my preference for a hearty start. I also loved the proximity to local attractions, which made our golfing adventures even more enjoyable. One area for improvement would be to enhance the evening dining options to include more local specialties.

    comfortable bed

    Just an optimal selection for a weekend respite with decent value for money. The comfortable bed made my stay much better despite the noise. Consider asking for a quiet room away from the nightclub for better sleep.

    spacious room
    comfortable breakfast
    live music
    noise nightclub
    fire alarm

    I stayed in a twin room overlooking the beach. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll to the beach was a real bonus. Room was spacious, clean, and recently refurbished. The breakfast in the ballroom had a great selection, especially enjoyed the cooked Irish breakfast. the noise from the nightclub below was noticeable during my stay, especially on disco nights. The fire alarm even went off a couple of times, which was a bit concerning. On the plus side, the staff were super friendly and accommodating. I also enjoyed the live music in the bar, it added a nice touch to my evenings. I had a good experience despite some noise issues.
