8/10 Very good

Solid place to stay

Positive Room was excellent with great view Bed unreal comfy Very clean Nice and warm Easy to access Negatives Main toilets not great nick by bar. Bar closed at 10pm which was very early. Pint of Guinness cost me 6.40euro eventhough price in book stated it was 5.90euro Shower in room had hardly any pressure
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Some improvements needed

Great location right on the water, but the beds themselve were very uncomfortable and the carpets need a good clean. No lid on the toilet either. Would suggest blinds not just curtains. Aswell as an iron in the room, but thats just my personal preference. Easy check in and easy to find rooms. Plenty of parking with bar and restaurant on site. Lovely picturesque location in ireland.

Exceeded our expectations

Drove a 5 hours to be there but it was worth it! The food, the rooms , the decor, the service! Absolutely amazing! I will go back😍. The WiFi is a bit slow but nothing hectic!

8/10 Very good

Beautiful location

This is a beautiful hotel and setting, very clean and comfortable, there is a restaurant & bar attached to it but only opens from 5pm, there is no breakfast facilities however there is tea & coffee in the room. Nearby cafe that do excellent breakfast and food. The only downside is that we had an issue with no hot water or heating on the last evening & day so a very cold shower on the day of checking out. It was reported and I believe the maintenance man arrived as we were just leaving. All in all a very pleasant stay

Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Although I wouldn't call this a 'hotel' I did have a very nice stay here. There was no front desk help but check in was very easy as it was detailed nicely in the messages prior to arriving. The room was great and had a wonderful view out over the water. The restaurant was also great and very convenient.

Motel by the lake

Lovely newly renovated motel like standard because room size is a little tight but excellent views of the lake. Self check in and out went fine. Would definitely stay here again. The restaurant had a great dinner menu

Fantastic place to stay...very smooth self check in..only downfall is no breakfast option,close to some beautiful wee bars and a shop..right on lough Swilly...wee ate at the restaraunt..although it didnt serve alcohol but my partner was able to get their local ale as they havent got their drink licence yet. the scenery was out of this world looking right onto the lough..will definitely be staying again very soon 😀
