"Depending on how much you pay, this is a good place to stay if looking for somewhere near Donegal Town with parking facility. As a guest house it mainly has classic decor/furniture style and although it feels homely, maintenance needs were evident. Security is relatively basic for a quiet location out of town, particularly room doors operated by key alone. Breakfast service is good as were the staff helpful and welcoming."

"Spacious clean hotel and fast service for food in a busy restaurant"

Mill Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel. Clean & comfortable. Looks like it has been recently refurbished to a very good standard. Two comfy chairs in the bedroom"

Atlantic Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was just perfect i have no complaint about my stay."

Lough Eske Castle

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."
