Although I wouldn't call this a 'hotel' I did have a very nice stay here. There was no front desk help but check in was very easy as it was detailed nicely in the messages prior to arriving. The room was great and had a wonderful view out over the water. The restaurant was also great and very convenient.

A fridge in the room would be a welcome addition, and more comfortable pillows. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice place, well maintained, but no breakfast available unfortunately, and the nearest place only offers breakfast from 10am onwards. If you have an early start I suggest you make arrangements outside of the area.

There is no hotel staff to speak of, and the restaurant staff was mixed. But it is a fantastic property right on a beautiful lake.

Motel by the lake
Lovely newly renovated motel like standard because room size is a little tight but excellent views of the lake. Self check in and out went fine. Would definitely stay here again. The restaurant had a great dinner menu

Views! This room was large, perfect for a family of four, and had an amazing view of the ocean which was literally right out the window. We could hear the ocean at night with the windows cracked. Bathroom was great too with HOT water and exceptional water pressure!

Fantastic place to stay...very smooth self check in..only downfall is no breakfast option,close to some beautiful wee bars and a shop..right on lough Swilly...wee ate at the restaraunt..although it didnt serve alcohol but my partner was able to get their local ale as they havent got their drink licence yet. the scenery was out of this world looking right onto the lough..will definitely be staying again very soon 😀

Stayed for a few days and enjoyed the scenery lovely double room facing the water, view was stunning, an easy 10 min stroll to Rathmullan, only 2 issues/gripes was no internal access to restaurant from hotel, no great when weather isn’t the best and no bed and breakfast option so need to pay between 10-14 euro if you want breakfast. No issues with auto check in and rooms made every day and staff very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Staff & service
View was amazing, although suggest adding a single door from room to allow to go out to the beautiful waters edge. Room was very very hot. No way to cool it down. If there was an external access door, this would have also addressed the over heating.
