We went to jacksons for the santa hotel. Sadly during our stay storm darragh arrived and Oakfield park cancelled the santa express so although very disappointing this was no fault of anyone. Instead the hotel had a santa visit, arts and crafts and movies. They went above and beyond. The staff added a sensory pack to our bedroom for our little boy who has Autism and it was brilliant, he loved it. When the santa experience got cancelled the poor girls on reception had their work cut out but they were lovely and so helpful. Catherine and Holly in particular made our stay brilliant and nothing was too much. Food in the bar was nice and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was also very good. Beds were very comfy. Bedroom was a little hot but we got a fan brought to the room so the 2nd night was perfect. 2 minor things I would say though would be... Reception doesn't have anyone on at night which is difficult if you're needing any assistance. Floorboards in rooms are quite noisy aswell but again not a major problem. We very much enjoyed our stay and would be back. Thanks again.

What an amazing Santa experience. We stayed the weekend 20th December to 22nd of December. We would highly recommend. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the most friendliest staff who explained our itinerary to our very excited children and they received a beautiful letter. Our room was spacious for a family of five with spotless room and bathroom. We then went for a lovely meal and everyone was again highly satisfied and service was fast and efficient even with how busy it was. We then went to the main room where there was free hot chocolate mulled wine and cookies. Movies on all night and a token to visit Santa Claus for each family. Saturday morning breakfast was lovely children weee happy and even allowed to wear their festive pjamas without any drama. The hotel hosted a magic show at 1pm which was amazing. Then we experienced oakfield park Christmas which was so magical all in the price of the Santa hotel package. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back again next year. Thank you to all the amazing staff who I am sure we’re exhausted at that time of the year and out out all the stops for a memorable weekend.

Absolutely blown away by our stunning room at the Hotel. Staff were truly amazing & couldn't do enough for us. Very reasonable price for an over night stay & food & service was excellent. Attention to detail & cleanliness 5 stars. Well done to all the staff & management.

I stayed here over the weekend of the Armagh game, hotel was excellent, the staff couldn't do enough for me, was right beside the stadium so there wasn't to far to walk, the room was great, it was excellent ,the only thing about the room is that I was situated right beside the fan for the kitchen and it was left on all night by accident so it disturbed my sleep, but other than that I would definitely recommend and If I'm ever back in ballybofey I would definitely stay here again

Came away with family for midterm break, first impressions was good a pregnant lady very friendly on reception checked in with ease! Bar/restaurant staff were pleasant. Hotel is clean and beds comfortable! Got to room no WiFi which wasn't to big a deal we hadn't planned on spending long in it. Went till pool,swimming lesson going on and a small corner for hotel guest to use and children getting told to move from edge of pool as they neeed to be used for the class. Two young girls at breakfast using such childish behaviour laughing and giggling at other visitors disadvantages, breakfast was just ok sausages cold. blonde woman who was on reception at night is so rude the way she spoke to a family as thier children where laughing telling them they were being to loud which made all familys feel so uncomfortable so we decided to go to the room, to where we got followed by this member of staff to tell us we were being to loud, so passive aggressive and stood holding our door till we went in till the room. NOT A CHILD FRIENDLY HOTEL at all. Save your money and avoid if you have children, i travel often all over Ireland with my children and this has been the worst hotel for family's have ever stayed in.

The first thing that struck me in Jackson's in February was that all the radiators in the corridor were turned on giving a lovely warm feel. You might think that's pretty standard but I have been in hotels in February when out of season there seems to be a reluctance to turn on the heating. I was in Room 167...it was massive, I sent videos to friends immediately. What a comfortable room. Great views of the river, and again all the radiators actually working without you having to fiddle. On the Saturday I had the breakfast at 9am. It was so tasty and filling, I had to almost force myself to have dinner @ 5 pm. The breakfast...the best part sausages actually cooked a proper shade of brown compared to most hotels now who just seem to warm them up...I was immediately taking with the brownness in Jacksons and had an extra one...the toast was similar in that while you did the toast yourself the toaster actually worked...in other hotels now, you could be doing it thrice over and it still ain't done so Jackson's deserve credit for attention to these little details. The yogurt to go with the fruit salad is one of the tastiest I have ever had. The breakfast dining room is also helped by being lovely open space with plenty of windows. Beautiful place.
