Enjoyable short break
Well appointed, generous size and comfortable clean room, well serviced. Excellent helpful and friendly staff. Good food - great choice at breakfast and tasty evening bar food. Well located with easy access to the gorgeous Downings beach next to hotel.

Static caravans ruin the views
The hotel and staff were nice enough but the location was awful. I wrongly assumed that given its location and the beach photos on its website there would be beautiful views of the bay but didn’t do my homework properly. Check out Google maps but on satellite view to see the clutter of static caravans completely dominating the best part of Downings and covering the entire length of the bay right up to the boundary of the hotel car park ☹️

Great hotel close to the beach.
This beautiful hotel has a wonderful location close to the beach and the rooms are lovely. The brilliant bar had very friendly staff and served great food. The full Irish breakfast was great so we highly recommend this super hotel in a great location.

We had two family events recently in Downings and stayed here. The staff and management could not have done more for us- they really pulled out all the stops. If you want to experience ‘the Donegal Welcome’ this is the place to stay. And don’t forget the sea swim nearby!

Perfect location, everything within walking distance. No pool onsite but we knew this upon booking. Good breakfast clean rooms, quiet despite facing the 'disco' area. Upper rooms very warm without air con but overall excellent.

We really enjoyed our three night stay over the August bank holiday. We had booked bed and breakfast in a superior room. The room was lovely and recently refurbished. Quite comfortable and spacious. I would suggest ensuring that you are not on the « disco » side of the hotel to ensure no late night noise. We ate in the restaurant on two nights. Good food and friendly service. Breakfast very good in the ballroom. A good cold buffet choice and then a cooked Irish breakfast to order. Lovely atmosphere. Parking available around the corner - not on hotel site but just beside hotel. Easy walking access to beach.
