The location and facilities are superb but the best part is the warmth and friendliness of Laurence and Fiona. Laurence has a vast knowledge of County Donegal and plenty of entertaining stories. Fiona is is the perfect hostess, friendly, helpful, and puts one completely at ease. We spent ten nights and cannot imagine a nicer place to spend your time in Ireland. Be sure to visit Campbell's woolens in Ardara and meet Hugh. It's a visit you won't forget.

It was our second…read morebargain two night hotel break in Donegal, having travelled to here from Annagry and having spent three weeks in France shortly before we made it to Donegal. The hotel has limited wifi, which worked well around reception but we couldn't get it to work in the restaurant or breakfast rooms. It didn't work in our room. There are a number of brochures available in the reception promoting various attractions including the nearby Finntown railway, which runs along the edge of a huge brown trout lake in the shadow of a mountain and was fascinating. This entire county has to be one of the friendliest places on earth. No matter where we went, shopped, ate, toured and wandered around everyone was just so warm, friendly and welcoming. This hotel was no different; open friendly hard working people. The hotel was comfortable with our room a decent size, good decor, a double & single bed and a large bathroom. There was a flat screen tv on the wall. The food we had (haddock & chips €10) and prawn cocktail (€8) and night two we both had steak special) was all very good, fairly priced, the stout was excellent and the white wine served icily crisp. It was hectically busy in the restaurant especially on the Thursday night of our stay, mainly due to their sirloin steak special, €15 for a ten ounce steak, French fried onions, chips, peas and a pepper sauce. A few musicians also perform on Thursday nights. I'm sure the hard working staff are exhausted at the end of the night. We were tired just watching them. Parking is very limited at the front of the hotel and while there's a car park at the rear of the hotel there's no access from the car park. Breakfast was fine, the porridge superb followed by an Irish brekky fry of fried egg, pork sausage, bacon, black & white pudding and tomato. But we do restrict our intake of this sort of food. It's not just this hotel it's common in hotels to find cheap meats; cheap eggs, plastic skinned, fatty, salty sausage, fatty, salty, white pudding, cheap bacon and awful powdered coffee in hotels from one to five star. I'd prefer if hotels would use their buying power to purchase natural skinned meats, and better quality ingredients with a bit less fat and a bit less salt. I'd like to see the days of powdered coffee coming to a close - real coffee is so much better. We would return here.

A. very enjoyable visit to the pottery factory…read more We took the tour and leaned about the craft and people. Everyone who works here is a resident of the town of Belleek. The skill is taught parent to child and each stage of the process requires a specialized skill. A throwback to olden days. The workers are paid by piece and any that do not measure up are summarily destroyed. We bought some items for gifts and for ourselves and had them shipped home. All very easy. No need to carry expensive porcelain on the jet. Highly recommend a visit. Mark & Nancy.

The generation before mine really cared for this delicate, almost translucent, almost weightless, fine porcelain (as they did for Waterford Crystal lead glassware) that is characterised by its thinness, slightly iridescent surface and body formulated with a significant proportion of frit. When made the delicate ware goes through 16 pairs of hands before it's ready to sell. I'm pleased to be the owner of some beautifully designed pieces and it saddens me that it's popularity has waned - things of beauty are a joy forever. The company which began in 1857 has had to to diversify just to survive as the current generation won't thank you for true craftwork that often is of itself an art form. Now they also sell cutlery, kitchenware, glassware, table lamps and so on. The village is right on the border between Northern and Southern Ireland - literally you can cross the border from the pottery by just a few steps. If you are close by it's worth a visit as it's not just free to go in, it's a living museum.

Afterwards you can visit the coffee shop for a little pick me up. This park is historic as it was used for flying boats during WW2 and has a memorial to some of the fallen. Theres also a small WW2 museum based in the courtyard. Theres also a large camping area and caravan park with a children's play area attached. The outdoor play area has a large inflatable floor which seems to be a huge hit with kids. You do have to pay in but it's only £1 each. The park is also ideal for pony trekking/ hacking and has facilities ran by Drumhoney stables situated nearby. They take lessons in a paddock or you can go into the woodland and trek round it.

From the friendly greeting from Margrite and Peter, our hosts, to the ever so accommodating staff our stay here was the best of our trip.

The breakfasts included your choice of Full Irish, smoked mackerel over scrambled eggs or the fluffiest tastiest pancakes you'll ever have. Not to mention the scones, granola, yogurt and fresh fruit waiting for you each morning. We actually extended our stay another night and will definitely be returning on our next trip to Ireland.

They have heaters in rooms but they need to be marked on/off because the numbers are rubbed off. The room is spacious with lots of light. Overall fancy hotel & bar but were asked to leave dinner and go sit at the bar when we were done which seemed rude. The pool closed at 7:15 pm and then at 5:45 pm on our second night. The beds were comfortable. Amenities included wash clothes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, fan, full-length mirror, large TV, and bottled water. The shower pressure sucked but the water gets hot.
