Lovely hotel

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in Ireland. Clean, fresh rooms. Very tasty seafood in the restaurant both dinner and breakfast and good selection for gluten free and lactose intolerant. Dungloe is a sweet little town with good choice of shops. Lovely coastline and sunsets

Friendly welcome from reception and breakfast staff. Hotel was very noisy as I think there was a stag party or sporting event so we didnt sleep too well. Overall was a nice visit to a seaside resort in low season. Close to the beach.
