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. ##### George Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna 3 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely relaxing stay, great breakfast and clean rooms ##### Donna Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 9 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely friendly staff Rooms very clean Great location ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sonja 17 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 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 ☹️ ##### Sonja Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sally 8 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A true gem! We stayed for one night and it happened to be the last night of the season. We were met with a friendly receptionist. We had dinner in the bar and it was one of the nicest meals I’ve had in Ireland in the last 2 years! Great service, varied menu, lots of vegetarian options, absolutely delicious food. The room was spacious and a lovely comfortable bed. Breakfast was a buffet style served to you. Again this was delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel. I didn’t use any of the leisure facilities to comment. ##### sally Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda 2 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hotel was very clean and good Covid requirements in place.

Food excellent ##### Brenda Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander 29 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place The hotel is not fancy, but very comfortable and clean and super well positioned just next to the beach. Our biggest surprise was their amazing (and really cheap) dinner, which we enjoyed a lot! ##### Alexander Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 14 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel, some staff training needed Nice hotel, great location, food good. Staff at breakfast were so unhappy looking and weren’t sure about what they were doing. Staff on desk and bar really friendly. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 23 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great spot for short family break Excellent price for family room inclusive of breakfast. Dinner in the bar was 3 courses and a glass of wine for 17.50 euro. Food was lovely and was a nice atmosphere. We used the swimming pool and the soft play area that was free to guests which was a 2 minute drive from the hotel. That was the only negative as we didnt bring extra towels for the next day and also the pool didnt open until 12 noon. Right beside the beach and a short stroll to a lovely traditional pub. I would go back again ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina views, Kinsale, sleeps 20, owned by Exquisite Holiday Homes ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Marina-Views.h45413709.Hotel-Information) > > [Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Ballyliffin-Lodge-And-Spa.h5285401.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliffe at the Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Cliffe-At-The-Quay.h104426642.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming 2-bed Apartment in Donegal Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Suite-On-The-Diamond.h46949579.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Northern Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Great-Northern-Hotel.h1788827.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [Inishowen Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buncrana-Hotels-Inishowen-Gateway-Hotel.h10074052.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Central.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Shandon Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portnablagh-Hotels-Shandon-Hotel-Spa.h22609921.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1453052.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Rathmullan Holiday Homes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rathmullan-Hotels-Rathmullanholidayhomescom.h45291582.Hotel-Information) > > [Malin Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malin-Hotels-Malin-Townhouse.h42005430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lough Mardal Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballintra-Hotels-Lough-Mardal-Lodge.h40201717.Hotel-Information) > > [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waters Edge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rathmullan-Hotels-The-Waters-Edge-Accommodation.h96251555.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Killaloe Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killaloe-Hotels-The-Killaloe-Hotel.h15821471.Hotel-Information) > > [Nesbitt Arms Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardara-Hotels-Nesbitt-Arms-Boutique-Hotel.h15521231.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Mount-Errigal-Hotel-Conference-Leisure-Centre.h1561953.Hotel-Information) > > [Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmullin-Hotels-Druids-Glen-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h853698.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harbour Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buncrana-Hotels-The-Harbour-Inn.h18021861.Hotel-Information) > > [Millstone Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milford-Hotels-Millstone-Cottages.h37862799.Hotel-Information) > > [Caisleain Oir Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Annagry-Hotels-Caisleain-Oir-Hotel.h5824463.Hotel-Information) > > [Amy's Place Charming 3 Bed House Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranorlar-Hotels-Charming-3-Bed-House.h67665783.Hotel-Information) > > [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h15932701.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [An Chúirt Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gweedore-Hotels-An-Chuirt-Hotel.h17721313.Hotel-Information) ---
