    Couples getaway but pricey

    The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking! ! Watching the waves crash while waking up was surreal. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, making sure we felt like top-notch guests during our stay.

    It wasn’t cheap but honestly the experience was worth it.

    stunning sea view
    outdated furnishings

    The room offered a stunning sea view but

    the furnishings felt outdated, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was very tasty. I appreciated the local art displayed throughout the hotel, adding a personal touch to the atmosphere.

    Breathtaking ocean views and cozy atmosphere

    We had a fantastic stay at this lovely hotel, where the views of Rossnowlagh Beach from our Twin Room were absolutely breathtaking. The beach is just steps away, making it easy for morning walks by the shore. Breakfast was individually cooked and truly delightful, with attentive service that made it feel special. One area for improvement could be updating some of the furnishings, but overall, it was a memorable experience.

    The Twin Room was spacious and had stunning views of the beach. It was pretty clean, and the bed was comfy, which helped with a good night's sleep. The only downside was the pillows. they could use some improvement. Overall, it felt welcoming and cozy.

    worn room
    limited amenities
    inconsistent service

    The stay offered an incredible view of the ocean, truly stunning at sunset. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the restaurant's food was fantastic, with a delightful breakfast featuring fruit preserves. However, the room felt a bit worn and lacked some modern amenities, making the overall experience just okay. Emma at the bar provided excellent service, but other staff interactions could improve for a more consistent experience.

    A Wonderful Getaway with Personal Touches

    Our stay was delightful! The staff made our mornings special—pancakes offered unprompted for our kids and thoughtful touches like jams for breakfast on the go. Spacious rooms made our time relaxing, although a shorter path to the beach would enhance the experience. Enjoy the surf schools nearby!

    kitchen noise

    Accessing the beach wasn't as straightforward as expected, requiring a bit of a trek through the hotel and along the road to reach the sand. Noise from the kitchen's extraction fans snuck into the Double Room, particularly disturbing when trying to enjoy the bay window. The intercom system to enter the hotel felt outdated, adding unnecessary hassle to getting back inside.

    beach views
    great dinner
    surfing opportunities
    lost purse
    lost item experience

    Our group's getaway was fantastic. The beach views from our twin room were breathtaking. We enjoyed surfing the waves and discovered Donegal Music Trails nearby. Dinner at the hotel was great, and the beach bar served delicious snacks. Can't wait to return for another round of fun and relaxation!

    We had a slight scare when my friend's purse was left behind at dinner, but thankfully, it was returned with everything intact.
