This hotel was absolutely beautiful and full of charm. The landscaping leading up to the property was stunning and set the tone for a lovely stay. Dinner at the hotel was delicious, and the rooms were very comfortable. We also had a great time across the street at the bar, playing pool and enjoying the friendly local atmosphere. A wonderful experience from start to finish—highly recommend!

During my Road trip started from Northern Ireland and trough Ireland I found this marv place for the first stop after passing the coastal way leaving Derry. This is a nice local place, where the Staff was friendly to show me some suggestions for the next step on my trip along the Coast southwest. The Restaurant served some trad Irish food, and the room was marv! If you are traveling with a car, there is a lot of parking spaces next to the Hotel. I´ll would say that this was of my best stops during my Road trip :)

Welcoming

I was in a front room which was noisy as cars whisked by and on Thursday music was played so quite noisy as I was there for a quiet rest. Not having a lift is a disadvantage. The position is excellent for touring. The staff friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were great. Hopefully I will get back.

Veel parkeerruimte, ook voor ons kamerraam waardoor er een bus op 5 cm stond en het raam niet open kon, dat kan onhandig zijn. Het personeel is heel aardig en het eten in de bar is prima. Het is er stil en de douches zijn geweldig. De kamer was mooi ruim. Er was veel info over de omgeving met uitleg hoe er te komen. Heel fijn!
