10/10 Excellent

Excellent stay in Waters Edge. Very clean room with easy check in and very near Rathmullan beach. Would highly recommend this hotel to any visitor.
Catriona, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Splendid location on the edge of Lough Swilly with view from room across the waters. Room was warm clean and comfortable with adequate space for a two night stay. Rathmullan within walking distance. On site restaurant was good as was breakfast at Belle’s in Rathmullan. Perfect for visit to Fanad lighthouse. More like a room in an Airbnb with no on site hotel reception or public space other than the bar/ restaurant. But check in system worked ok.

The remote staffing is a new wrinkle to me, but it worked fine. Rathmullen was a bit slow on Monday night, but that’s to be expected. Hotel was comfortable.

Beautiful location

This is a beautiful hotel and setting, very clean and comfortable, there is a restaurant & bar attached to it but only opens from 5pm, there is no breakfast facilities however there is tea & coffee in the room. Nearby cafe that do excellent breakfast and food. The only downside is that we had an issue with no hot water or heating on the last evening & day so a very cold shower on the day of checking out. It was reported and I believe the maintenance man arrived as we were just leaving. All in all a very pleasant stay

Shadae, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

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
