A great place with a lovely atmosphere and great value for money.
Pros:

It’s honestly a perfect stay. We were only there for one night, but would definitely recommend. The facilities were great, the room was clean and had a great view, the breakfast included was very filling, and the staff is super friendly. A special shoutout to Ashlyn who was absolutely fantastic and one of the friendliest and most helpful people we’ve ever met.

Pros:

Our family of three stayed two nights at Seaview Tavern and had an amazing experience. The room was cozy, clean, and had a beautiful sea view. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent, tasty food with generous portions. The pub downstairs had a great local feel, and we enjoyed a few pints each evening. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and Mike, the owner, went out of his way to make us feel at home with great stories and local recommendations. A perfect place to stay near Malin Head and we will definitely return!

Sea View & fabulous breakfast veggie friendly super beach and 'wee house' not to be missed
Pros:

On the sea front . Opened windows just to hear the waves and get the fresh sea air. Wonderful to be looking straight at the sea..Fabulous spot to walk/drive around the stunning Malin Head area. Went to 'wee house' and amazing secluded beach walk along shore. Not a soul to be seen (October weekday). Friendly locals as I was literally blown into the bar upon arrival night before. The very generous breakfast even had French toast on top of everything else! A traditional tavern with a rustic feel and character..( Do not expect super modern ). Warm room & comfy. Beautiful beer garden out back. Views in area SPECTACULAR especially from the beaches and coves.Returning soon. In love with this spot.

Cons:

Couldnt get bathroom heated towel rail on (minor gripe)
