Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre

Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre

8/10 Good
"We had a large, clean room with a very comfortable bed. It was good to have enough space around the basin in the bathroom to set things and we also had plenty of hot water for baths. For the standard of hotel, we would, as a minimum, have expected to have complimentary water in the room, or somewhere to fill a water bottle. We couldn’t access the QR code to get room information which was a little annoying, especially as we were clearly not the first to report the issue. We used the leisure facilities on one morning and it was lovely, clean and a good size. We really enjoyed some peace and relaxation - until 2 shrieking children arrived. The low roof in the children’s pool area really amplified the sound! We do think staff should intervene in a situation like this. Children having fun and making a bit of noise - fine. Piercing shrieking - not fine! Food was very good in the Boulevard bar and staff friendly. On the Saturday evening, however, there was a horrendous queue in Lily’s bar and that’s where I was sent to get some water to take to the room! Both bars should have been open when a known event was taking place and the hotel was full."

"Good stay at this hotel. Room was lovely, clean and well maintained. Used the pool which was great. Had a nice meal at dinner time too. Only complaint was the breakfast. It was very poor for the standard of the hotel. We have been in lots of Premier Inns and their breakfast was way better. The bacon was hard as nails, so was the hash browns both of which were basically ineffable. Eggs were like rubber and not runny. Overall breakfast very poor. Stay in general good."

"From Charmaine welcoming us at reception, & giving me a free birthday upgrade to Dessie serving us at the bar, they are only a few of the reasons it's our favourite hotel. The food is amazing as always, the atmosphere relaxed no matter how busy they are. Breakfast was delicious & altho very busy, the girls were so courteous & chatty. We'll be back in October for our anniversary."
