Although the weather was poor me and my husband had the best 2 days staying in this hotel the food was excellent and the staff where so nice even Sadie the housekeeper was so friendly and thoughtful would definitely recommend this hotel for couples and families as it’s warm and friendly atmosphere made our stay so worthwhile and we hope to return in the future would also like to point out the hotel is so central to everything from the famine village to Malin head for all to explore and beach is one of the best I’ve ever seen

Our stay ay McGrory's was very relaxing and enjoyable. There was a great buzz about the hotel. The staff were fantastic - incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The evening meal was really tasty and there was a great choice for breakfast. A one night stay at McGrory's gave more enjoyment than a week's break at a big, lifeless hotel.

Another great stay at McGrory’s!!!!
Had a fabulous two night stay in McGrory’s. Room was super and we had breakfast on the two mornings served by lovely polite staff. We had dinner twice and can throughly recommend the curry and birianni with chicken. Catlyn was a hoot and a great asset to your hotel, hope she’s still driving that van lol. Will be back. Thanks🍷

Great adults only couples break!
Very pleasant stay and staff helpful and attentive. Beds comfortable and food was lovely. Very much enjoyed our served at the table breakfast with a booked time slot. Evening meal was delicious with a large portion of hake and prawns for me and cod for the other half. Will definitely be back but will ask for a room at the back of the hotel next time. Street traffic noise was quite disturbing but the hotel is on the main road in the town, so can't really be helped. Needed the windows open as the room is fairly compact and airless otherwise, which magnified the noise. Bathroom could do with a fan.

Visit to Culdaff.
We had a lovely stay here. The room, while only of average size was extremely clean and comfortable. The only issue we had was that we could not bring our drinks before or after dinner to the outdoor area...we felt being out doors would be a lot safer than indoors. Apparently this was to do with Garda regulations. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant.

We loved our stay at McGrory’s , considering the challenging times that we are in, all was excellent. The staff weare lovely & friendly & couldn’t do enough for us, considering they had to wear masks all day, which is not easy. I will be recommending this hotel to my friends

Great Hotel n a wonderful location.
We had a very enjoyable stay over New Years Eve and Day. The staff were very pleasant and always smiling even though it was very busy. Our room (102) was very spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable.The choice at breakfast was very good and it was cooked to order. There was plenty of parking in their car park across the road. I would highly recommend McGrorys to anyone visiting Donegal.The hotel was very good value.

Nice homely place, great bar, food was fine although menu a bit limited. Good warm place with multiple open fires making for great ambience. Bed was a standard double and not the most comfortable, room was quiet. Fine Irish breakfast in the morning.
