Tara Hotel

Tara Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really loved this hotel, and I would totally recommend it. Killybegs is a small traditional fishing village close to some stunning, empty beaches that are ideal for walking dogs. The hotel was amazing; however, if I had to critique anything, it would be the food, which wasn't as good as the overall hotel. I do want to thank Larissa and Kevin, who served us breakfast; they were very efficient and super friendly. Check out the Spa too, as that was great for my Fiancée; however, you really need to book early, as the slots get filled up quickly."

"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."

"The apartment was comfortable and perfect for me and my MIL who I traveled with. Great views, comfortable couch and beds. Just be aware there is no where to eat in town. The great part is everything is just a quick drive away! The two pubs in town (Mac's and MacIntyre's) are extremely fun and great places to end a great day! I would come back and stay again!"

Luxury five-star accommodation with sea views on the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland.

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay here, the only thing that was disappointing was that we couldn't stay longer. Anne, the host, was easy to communicate with and sent instructions very early in advance. One thing I'll note for guests is to get the water heater turned on fully at least 30 minutes ahead of taking a shower to get enough hot water. The property is very energy-conscious, which is great, so guests just need to remember to be respectful of this and turn things on when needed. The water views were spectacular, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the whole place was cozy. Going for a walk up the street was fun as there are sheep nearby. I will note that this place is not in walking distance to a pub, but there are a few within a 10-20 minute drive."
