"We had an issue with the showers water pressure in the room. A simple call to the front desk had us moved to a different room within twenty minutes. Whilst not ideal I cannot fault the helpfulness of the staff and lack of fuss getting the issue resolved."

8/10 Good
"Marvelous hotel, a lot of amenities, great grounds, beautiful renovation, and brilliant staff. Everything would have been perfect at this hotel if not for these things: - lack of AC in rooms other than their most expensive suites. As the climate continues to rise, this is going to be a problem because during our stay it was only 24C, which isn't bad, but without any breeze the room felt very stuffy and not enjoyable - the food was poor at the restaurants, do yourselves a favor and get food, especially Quay West in Donegal because the hotel is going to disappoint you."

"Breakfast was delicious. Good choice of cereals, juices, yoghurt, fry, omelette. Toast and tea or coffee. Staff brilliant. Room spacious and had everything we needed. Shower could be modernised. Great location walking about 12 minutes into town with restaurants, bars and shops. Driving to killybegs, donegal and dungloe beaches within 40 minutes. Waking up to the sound of birds singing and lambs was relaxing."
