Splendid location on the edge of Lough Swilly with view from room across the waters. Room was warm clean and comfortable with adequate space for a two night stay. Rathmullan within walking distance. On site restaurant was good as was breakfast at Belle’s in Rathmullan. Perfect for visit to Fanad lighthouse. More like a room in an Airbnb with no on site hotel reception or public space other than the bar/ restaurant. But check in system worked ok.

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

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.

The remote staffing is a new wrinkle to me, but it worked fine. Rathmullen was a bit slow on Monday night, but that’s to be expected. Hotel was comfortable.

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

The room needs a fridge for patrons to store food/drinks etc. The room needs more than one set of towels per person for a stay. There was no milk or coffee in our room, and one toilet roll was not enough
