A great stay , with an excellent welcome
Pros:

The Tara hotel was excellent .
Reception was so welcoming and friendly and this set the tone for the stay
The rooms were spacious and comfortable and we had a good rest and sleep.
The evening meal was excellent and I had the fish of the day . The waiting staff were always attentive.
The Breakfast the next morning was filling and nothing was too much trouble for the staff .
Finally check out was relaxed and once again the reception staff were so friendly providing us with guides and arrangements if needed .

An exceptional relaxing Experience
Pros:

Absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. I could not recommend the Tara Hotel highly enough. The staff were absolutely brilliant from the minute we checked it Friday until check out today. Martina duty manager spoke to all the guests on first name terms. She couldn’t have been more helpful and obliging. Martina is an outstanding ambassador for the Tara. Likewise the lovely receptionist her name escapes me possibly Christine with the lovely hint of purple in her hair again an exceptional employee and such a pleasant meet and greet person and exceptionally helpful and then there was Chloe our Waitress what a fabulous pleasant young woman- nothing was too much for her and particularly on a very busy Saturday night she was amazing. The Food was fabulous and the accommodation and overall atmosphere so brilliantly relaxing. I will definitely be back hopefully sooner rather then later

Worth a stay.
Pros:

Food fantastic, beautiful and clean hotel and bedroom.

Cons:

Small niggles really. Bathroom towels too small, could probably be bathsheets.
Chairs in bedroom could be more comfortable.
As said really small niggles, everything else beautiful.

Exceptional
Pros:

To all the staff in the Tara Hotel, especially John, Chloe and Alannah, the young man who served us and the lady on the breakfast on Sunday 23rd!!

We had our document signing in the hotel on Saturday 22nd November. The whole experience in the hotel was second to none. The staff was incredible, so kind, no question was too much for them. The hotel looks absolutely incredible since it was renovated. It is always our regular haunt several times a year for the last 6 years. We love visiting the restaurant with ours boys. The food on the day was incredible! But it always is everytime we visit.
Chloe stepped in as our witness and she was so lovely to us and our boys. John (manager) was great craic and sat down with us for a chat. The hotel spoiled us rotten!! It is a gem in the heart of Killybegs!! Until next year!!

Pros:

The waterfront location provided stunning views and the central location made it easy to walk anywhere in Killybegs. Also I enjoyed getting refreshments at the connecting bar/restaurant.

Cons:

No free breakfast. Also only one bed in our room. The new carpet made me sneeze and also in the little tea breakfast area there was no plug for the electric tea kettle.
