Rathmullen was a bit slow on Monday night, but that’s to be expected. Hotel was comfortable. ##### Patrick Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 29 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful setting.

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph Brian 24 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Splendid location on the edge of Lough Swilly with view from room across the waters. 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 #### Chu 16 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Motel by the lake Lovely newly renovated motel like standard because room size is a little tight but excellent views of the lake.
