Room was warm clean and comfortable with adequate space for a two night stay. Rathmullan within walking distance. On site restaurant was good as was breakfast at Belle’s in Rathmullan. Perfect for visit to Fanad lighthouse. More like a room in an Airbnb with no on site hotel reception or public space other than the bar/ restaurant. But check in system worked ok. ![Fanad Lighthouse](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc64967d-7538-4ac2-b265-59beab06a443-1750597512344.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Abbey in Rathmullan](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b24ba81-c520-4e83-a6fb-53786c4992d8-1750597511488.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/24bb89a3-825d-45a4-950d-1701df04078c-1750597511565.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joseph Brian Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loraine 29 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Comfortable and clean would definitely go back. ##### Loraine Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JASON 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely accommodation right at the waters edge.

There was no front desk help but check in was very easy as it was detailed nicely in the messages prior to arriving. The room was great and had a wonderful view out over the water. The restaurant was also great and very convenient. ##### Tomi Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 29 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful setting.

Very relaxing atmosphere. Superb for people with stressful jobs. Room was very clean, bathroom had toiletries. Amazing view from the room. Hassle free check in/out ##### Sviatlana ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 15 Jul 2025 #### Overpriced but great view! Overpriced for the fact the accommodation doesn't include breakfast facilities on site and not even a fridge provided in the room. They recommend a lovely place in town for breakfast which is great...if your stay coincides with it being open. Really over priced,for what you get. Views are top notch but with no Aircon we ended up needing to keep the curtains closed most of the time to try reduce the heat of the room. A radiator was on blazing out heat in the hall way.....really was not needed! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Some improvements needed Great location right on the water, but the beds themselve were very uncomfortable and the carpets need a good clean. No lid on the toilet either. Would suggest blinds not just curtains. Aswell as an iron in the room, but thats just my personal preference. Easy check in and easy to find rooms. Plenty of parking with bar and restaurant on site. Lovely picturesque location in ireland. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## 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) > > [Shandon Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portnablagh-Hotels-Shandon-Hotel-Spa.h22609921.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ballyliffin Lodge and 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) > > [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h15932701.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) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.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) > > [Charming 2-bed Apartment in Donegal Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Suite-On-The-Diamond.h46949579.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) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Marina views, Kinsale, sleeps 20, owned by Exquisite Holiday Homes ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Marina-Views.h45413709.Hotel-Information) > > [Talbot Hotel Clonmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clonmel-Hotels-Clonmel-Park-Hotel.h7049246.Hotel-Information) > > [Amy's Place Charming 3 Bed House Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranorlar-Hotels-Charming-3-Bed-House.h67665783.Hotel-Information) > > [Airport View Hotel & Secret Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lusk-Hotels-Airport-View-Hotel-Secret-Spa.h1527144.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) ---
