"This was an amazing stay. Our room was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, the on-site restaurant was cozy and full of friendly people, and I was genuinely sad to leave. A really perfect base for exploring the Inishowen peninsula. And a note for birders: don't miss the Inch Wildfowl Reserve!"

"Love this hotel this was our 3rd time staying here, lovely clean spacious rooms, beds are so comfy, rooms have everything you need for a night or a few days away. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Straight across the road from the beach and not far from the town centre. Will definitely be staying again."
