Extremely elegant comfortable property & the hostess was a delight. We arrived after a downpour & she arranged drying of our wet clothes & even put the heating on so we could dry our gloves etc on the radiators. Breakfast was extremely good. Would stay there again.

The hotel is a bit out of the town centre, but perfectly fine for car drivers - once you get used to the multi level one way system! Buncrana is well placed for touring North Donegal County and visiting Derry/Londonderry City nearby in N. Ireland, to where there are no travel or border restrictions. Thought the local ferries were a bit expensive for cars. The local attraction "Wild Ireland" situated near Burnfoot was well worth a visit. And a visit to Ireland's most northerly point, Malin Head, is a "must do" too. Be advised that the famous Slieve League Cliffs are over 100km from Buncrana.

A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit.
A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit. We didn't visit the museum but did some of the walks which were spectacular. We also ate in the little cafe on site which was very good indeed. Coffee in particular!
Buncrana town is lovely, plenty of shops, bars and cafes. Its a one way drive system.
We ate at Tank and Skinnys - just coffee and cake, but the food going to other tables looked delicious - we'll definitely be back.

Quiet location, and very convenient to Buncrana town, Beaches and facilities.and the heating being turned on for a short period in the evening was a nice touch, even though it was a nice evening in general.

We stayed in the 2-bed unit, nicely renovated, good location, modern & warm, clean and near to local shop & hotel with bar / restaurant and couple mins drive to Buncrana main street. The view over Lough Swilly is gorgeous.
Very warm welcome and flexibility when what was booked wasn’t quite right for our young family. The host jiggled things around a bit and the result perfect!
Fabulous meal in the restaurant below too!
Marie was very friendly and helpful.
We had a room with a lovely view overlooking the town of Buncrana and Lough Swilly.
