Although we were there for just one night, we enjoyed our stay. We didn’t have breakfast, and decided to dine in Buncrana in the evening, as we felt the hotel bar/restaurant was noisy ( maybe we hit it on a bad night) I would also like to mention Sinead on reception, a great asset to the hotel. She organised a taxi for us, and was very guest orientated.
