The staff, the rooms and the breakfast were amazing. The grounds and the buildings were exceptional. If I’m ever back in Donegal, I will definitely stay here again.

Bar was awesome good friendly staff. The guitarist Mark made our night along with new friends from Belfast. Property gorgeous breakfast great. Only problem could not connect to reception in morning forced to carry luggage a long way through a maze of rooms. No explanation for why they would not pick up phone. Still worth the stay

Decided to stay here on our trip around Ireland and let me tell you, this was one of our favorite stays in the two weeks we’ve been here (and we stayed in some pretty fabulous places). The grounds and rooms are fantastic. We were greeted warmly by the staff upon arrival. Shea took our bags straight to our room as we checked in. The smell of peat burning in the Red Room fireplace smelled heavenly. We were going to upgrade to a garden suite, but our superior king bedroom was exactly what we wanted: space to sprawl out, comfortable bed with a sitting area, walk-in closet with plenty of of space for luggage, a HUGE bathroom with soaking tub, toilet closet, huge shower, heated towel rack, and to our surprise, heated tiles. If you get cold in this bathroom, you have issues. I loved the two bay windows that fully open to allow in the fresh air and the French doors that open to the garden and spa/pool area. I highly recommend giving that area a try. I booked a facial and enjoyed the sauna, hot tub, and recovery area while my husband worked out in the gym. It was a great way to spend the afternoon after a lovely breakfast. That’s another thing…their breakfast is so good!!! It came complimentary with our room and offered a huge buffet or an à la cart menu. My husband had chef-prepared omelets from the buffet and I ate the Eggs Benedict from the menu both days. On one of the days, we took tea in the Red Room while we enjoyed the fireplace. 110% will be coming back!

I wasn’t given a courtyard room as advertised on Expedia. I asked to change and was given a superior room, still without a view of the courtyard or patio doors into it. I walked by the courtyard and there were numerous empty rooms all illuminated - lights ablaze through the night Staff were great - friendly and helpful with the notable exception of the Irish female receptionist who had zero personal skills and should not be in a customer facing role. I tried to book a massage but was told they were fully booked. I think being January they aren’t fully staffed. I would advise checking availability before booking if you want a spa break. The gym was a good size but the cardio machines are old and need to replaced. The hotel is a little dated but its location is superb. I attended in the bar and both the steak and salmon were excellent. Breakfast was disappointing. The avocado and sour dough toast tasteless. I think the mashed avocado is prepared and refrigerated. Would I go back ? - yes probably. The staff and location make up for the slightly dated feel.
