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!

Really friendly staff in a lovely hotel. Beautiful location for a relaxing stay. Food was good honest food for both buffet breakfast and dinner. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a 3 night stay

Ostan Loch Altan was an excellent place to rest on a looping, self-organized road trip through the hinterlands of County Donegal. The roadside inn is comfort, with spacious rooms (though the bed was on the soft side, so you felt a little like you were sinking toward the middle). Luckily, the hotel has its own pub, which serves dinner — Friday night was steak special night — and breakfast room, as the other pub across the street wasn’t serving food midweek in early November. What stood out most, though, was the simple friendliness of the Ostan Loch Altan’s staff, who were uniformly kind and cheerful.
