Set right in the middle of Donegal this is a surprisingly large hotel with a small swimming pool and gym. Seemed to be popular with coach trips

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.
