We loved this little place. Beautiful setting just a short walk/drive to Ardara and a great starting point for exploring Donegal. Breakfast was great and the rooms were huge. We wouldnt hesitate to stay again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Feels like this used to be a very nice establishment but it has somehow had the stuffing knocked out of it. Felt a bit sad there, really. Property probably very nice in years gone by but badly faded. Decor old style, with no updating. Everything very tired. Check in quite odd - sort of a hello, shown to room, that was about it. Cleanliness underwhelming. Staff undertrained or just not that good. Atmosphere - none really, including in bar. Breakfast very good although service completely haphazard and amusing in a sad sort of way. Shower good and powerful (room 1)

Absolutely wonderful stay off the beaten path and in a beautiful setting - wish we could have stayed more than one evening. It's an excellent area from which to explore the cliffs, Malin Beg, etc. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the evening with John, our host, and other guests in the bar.

The owner John was great and very informative. We had a pleasant stay and would consider stay there again. Wonderful view from our room. Had a great time just hanging out with John at his bar talking and having a pint of Guinness by the fireplace, before heading off to bed.

Lovely hotel, definitely one of the best in town
Very very cool spot with great views right from your room. Or just taking a walk around to really feel the nature. The staff are very helpful and deserve the best. Great food for breakfast as well. They have turf burning by the bar to keep guests warm (remember, this is a super old building so be nice about that. This is their only heat source for the main lobby and bar area.) The room is very comfortable and gives you everything you'd want as a traveler. The one down side is if youre not driving and carrying luggage. It's about a 10 minute walk from the bus stop but a bit uphill. And it becomes very low light at night which is a bit spooky. But very safe area so nothing to fear!

Beautiful location with a lovely main building that had a dining room and bar. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The building where our room was is somewhat rundown and there was an odd smell when we entered. Our room had a patio overlooking a walled garden that was once lovely but needs to be tended to. There is a pedestrian pathway nearby that goes all the way into town, which was a nice surprise. The breakfast was very good!
