    Nice stay, but noisy nights

    We had a cozy room with a nice view, but wow, the noise was a nightmare! Kids running and shouting all night, and it felt like we'd get no sleep despite the comfy bed. The bar was great, though, with friendly staff serving up tasty drinks. Maybe next time I’ll pack earplugs.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    The views over Lough Swilly from the dining area were absolutely breathtaking—picture-perfect moments with every meal! I adored indulging in their local specialties during breakfast. it felt like we were truly tasting the region. The Seagrass Spa was the cherry on top, offering relaxing treatments that left me feeling rejuvenated!

    can recommend 😊❤️

    friendly staff
    noise disturbances

    The hotel boasted a clean and comfortable atmosphere, and the staff was consistently friendly and attentive during my stay. I especially enjoyed the delicious breakfasts and the excellent pub grub offered on-site.

    There was some off and on rumbling noise in the hotel, which was quite distracting at times.

    noise disturbances

    The noise disturbances from neighboring rooms and hallway activities were particularly bothersome, leading to a disrupted sleep on both nights. There were also issues with the food temperature. The meals offered were plentiful but often lukewarm, lacking the comforting hot plates one hopes for. The lack of attention to some details in room upkeep, like uneven lighting and minor smells, left much to be desired.
