An Grianan Hotel

An Grianan Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"From Charmaine welcoming us at reception, & giving me a free birthday upgrade to Dessie serving us at the bar, they are only a few of the reasons it's our favourite hotel. The food is amazing as always, the atmosphere relaxed no matter how busy they are. Breakfast was delicious & altho very busy, the girls were so courteous & chatty. We'll be back in October for our anniversary."

"The location and surroundings of Redcastle Hotel can not be beaten. To enjoy your breakfast looking out onto Lough Foyle is a dream. Catherine and the reception staff are lovely and very welcoming. Breakfast was a little disappointing but the food we had in the Captains Bar was excellent - would highly recommend the chicken wings. Rooms were spacious clean and modern"
