The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we didn’t do the breakfast as we thought it was a bit pricey. The bathroom was very clean and had lovely toiletries provided. I would definitely stay here again.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were so helpful and friendly, the entire property is will maintained and stylish furnishings. Rooms are comfortable and clean, bathrooms clean. Shower lacks water pressure but found this in most places. The breakfast was the tastiest we have had on our four week journey across the UK so far. Donegal itself is a beautiful place. Highly recommend this place and town.
