"A beautiful hotel in beautiful surroundings. Although we toured during the day, we enjoyed our evenings and breakfasts. A good spot to base for some explorations of the west side of Donegal."

"We were extremely pleased with the Tara Hotel all around. This hotel was beautifully and newly renovated when we stayed and every aspect of the hotel is top notch in quality, offering a luxurious and equally cozy experience. Our room was directly facing the harbor, offering beautiful ocean views and our son loved watching the big trawlers in the harbor. Each room has a digital panel outside the room for guests to indicate a make-up request, DND and even has a doorbell. The bathroom was beautiful, and the beds were very comfortable.
The restaurant was very nice and the food was tasty, albeit slightly on the expensive side. The pub downstairs is cozy and gives off an old pub feeling, but it's clearly very new. The included breakfast was great and the staff were all very pleasant.
All-in-all, The Tara exceeded our expectations in nearly every way, and we would highly recommend a stay here if you're staying outside of Donegal."
"Lough Eske Castle was superior in every sense of the word.
From the moment we drove onto the property grounds, and wound our way through the manicured lawns, beautiful trees and gardens, slowly making our way to the front of the castle (savoring each moment), we were smiling!
We were greeted by one of the hotel staff members who kindly took our luggage and parked our car.
When we walked into the castle, there were staff members lining each side of the stairwell to welcome us.
We were impressed with a friendliness, the professionalism, and the knowledge of every single staff member who we encountered during our trip.
The restaurant was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We were celebrating our seventh anniversary, and Johnny, the restaurant lead was kind enough to send over glasses of Prosecco. We spent a great deal of time with him throughout the meal and he was fabulous! And truly, each member of his team was as well. Food was excellent for both dinner and breakfast.
A walk down to the lake rounded out our visit.
Our only wish was that we had a few more nights to spend at Lough Eske Castle. "
Luxury Donegal Beach Cottage at Dooey Beach, Dungloe
10/10 Excellent
"The cottage was perfect, in a gorgeous area of wild Donegal. Easy walk to a couple of small beaches. Nice shop and pub a few minutes car ride away. The house was cozy and clean, with everything we needed. Anne had let us know that there was a sudden problem with the central heat, and the work needed to be done to fix it would have had the plumber there during our stay, and she didn’t want us bothered. The house was warm enough, and we made a fire in the evenings in the wood stove. Anne actually refunded us a discount for the inconvenience. Not necessary (it was mild temps), but a generous gesture from a good host. Would return in a heartbeat if in the area"
