Best Hotels in County Donegal, Ireland

Visited the Atlantic for the recent Rory Gallagher Festival at Ballyshannon .The place was perfect for our needs as we were only there to sleep and eat breakfast ,basic accommodation though I don’t understand the negative reviews concerning shared bathrooms as some rooms are advertised as this, excellent freshly cooked breakfast and our hosts were very friendly and helpful.There is a small car park on site first come first serve basis.We have already booked again for festival next year

Nothing fancy, but it is clean and in a great location.

Short walk to the town centre, plenty of parking, warm and clean room. Nice bathroom, comfy bed. Plenty of positives. Maybe slightly bigger towels for the bathroom and a shelf or two would be great. Didn’t sample the food so can’t comment. Few guys decided to talk outside my room at silly o’clock but it was handled by the night porter and reception staff were very apologetic in the morning. Will definitely return.

A superb hotel with excellent environment, it is very suitable for self-driving customers. The hotel is located in the suburbs and has free parking. English breakfast, cost-effective. Next time you go to Donegal, you will continue to choose.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful part of the country. We were welcomed warmly on arrival and the experience had that authentic Irish high-end feel to it. Really good check in experience and a very good room (junior suite). Lovely bar area with very attentive service. Our three star review is due to two main issues. 1. Our experience in the Cedars restaurant was not good and was out of step with the rest of the hotel experience. Food was high quality but service was poor. The food was thrown at us, very short gaps between courses, wine served several minutes after the food had arrived, waiting staff were snappy and clearly didn’t want to be there. They were understaffed, but in addition to that the service culture was not evident in the people serving us. We couldn’t wait to get back to the bar (which was excellent again). And 2, the room was lovely but way too warm and there was no facility to adjust the temperature. So, overall slightly disappointing as we left unrested.

Just returned from the most wonderful stay at the Sandhouse Hotel. This is truly a hidden gem in Donegal. From the outset the whole trip was perfect. If you are looking for a modern stylist hotel then this is not for you. This hotel ouzes classic hotel experience. The foyer was cosy and welcoming, the lady at reception was extremely pleasant and helpful. I love that this hotel has almost, like a maze style of corridors and bedrooms, it brought me back to being a child visiting old hotels. The hotel is spotless clean. Our room was very spacious and boutique style with a beautiful 4 poster bed. Checked in after dark and to wake up to those breathtaking views in the morning was an extra treat. The meal was outstanding, the staff, the service, all top class. The attention to detail throughout this hotel is second to none. Beautiful rooms and alcoves throughout to sit and unwind with friends. Every seat was comfortable and inviting. The staff were exceptional, all genuine smiles and seemed happy in their work. The pillows were even amazing. Breakfast with the panoramic views from Mullaghmore to St John’s point, even on a hazy morning were certainly worth a lonely planet 5 star rating. The breakfast both food and service again were of top high class standards. This hotel is a credit to Paul and his wonderful team. I am only sorry it took me so long to discover it but I most definitely with be returning and recommending to friends and family alike. Keep up the good work and look forward to returning again in the future.
