Perfect location and great rooms

Rooms are perfect and big enough! Great location and when we checked in they told me that a local restaurant would be great for a meal. They weren’t wrong as it was a lovely restaurant and great food! All in all a perfect location to visit Inishowen

A bit noisy in the evenings, because boy racers go around in the middle of the town and we could hear all, other then that very good for the price.

Fuss-free stay in Carndonagh

No fuss, no frills accommodation, exactly what was required for our stay. Very large, comfortable beds, easy check-in and out from friendly staff. Full use of excellent gym, pool and all facilities at nearby Ballyliffin Lodge. Ample free parking on High St. Would recommend and re-visit.

If you stay and are coming from Derry-Londonderry, then I highly recommend going through the peat bogs via RedCastle-Drung. Beautiful scenery and then definitely go to the northernmost end of Ireland @ Malin Head.

Beautiful rooms, clean, fresh and very new. Right in the middle of town, parking available in the front of the building. There is no food available at the hotel, but there are some great food places within view… A proper Irish pub location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was super easy to check into, room was really clean and beautifully presented with tea/coffee in & small selection of toiletries. The reason I’m not giving 5 stars however is that I had an early flight and the music and noise from the bar downstairs or next door (both lively pubs) was on until 1am and kept me awake even with all the windows closed. Otherwise, if you’re not bothered by the noise, this would easily be a 5* review.

First class room & facilities. Just be aware that the rooms are above a bar which is frequented by teenagers & can get a bit noisy at the weekend but nothing too crazy.

We stayed in the family room. It was so clean and the beds were comfortable. Check-in etc was all very straight-forward and the room was definitely 4* quality. It was also great to have use of the Ballyliffin Lodge facilities - a real bonus. (We ate at Jack's in the Ballyliffin Lodge both nights - superb food.) The only downside was the noise. Our first night wasn't too bad, but there was a party in the pub on the second night and the noise continued into the early morning. Saying that, we would stay again but probably only mid week.

The room was clean and had all the amenities you would need but being above a pub/bar was not clearly explained. It was 02:30 when the dj stopped playing the overly loud music it was so loud that our crockery was rattling in our room. We contacted expedia and i took videos as we weren't able to contact the host. We left the next morning and booked into a differnt hotel, although we were due to stay the second night. Currently waiting for the team at expedia to make contact with the host and get back to me regarding this.
