Good location, close to Main Street and shore front.
I had 2 rooms booked for 2 adults and 2 kids, I would’ve thought we’d get rooms beside each other. Was told at checkin that as the hotel was very busy they couldn’t place us in rooms alongside each other but I had made this booking months ago so can’t understand why the rooms were so far apart. Our stay was for our 25th wedding anniversary and our total group had taken 7 rooms with others in the group having rooms beside each other so what reception said was untrue. I also asked for an early checkin or if there would be a room we could leave bags in and that I could change into my dress as I needed to be at the 25th venue before 4pm and check in wasn’t until 3.30. I was told I could pay extra for early checkin and no offer was made to store bags. Very disappointing customer service.
Room was tiny and bathroom could’ve been doing with a good clean as the grout around shower and tiles was very grubby.
Great location very clean the staff where amazing
Everything was great, lovely staff and hotel
location and food was great
breakfast one eastern European waitress insisted we could not have a pot of tea before our food we just want a cup of tea before eating we where there for 6 nights and this only happened once the Irish waitress where great and understood that we wanted tea before food
Great location and very clean. Lovely breakfast, and staff were all really pleasant.
Decor a little tired, especially in our room.
Our 3 nights stay at Lake of Shadows was excellent. The decor and room were amazing, with excellent standards of cleanliness. Sleeping was easy as bed was very comfortable!.The variety and standard of food on offer was very impressive and delicious .The hotel was beautifully decorated and the icing on the cake was how attentive the staff were .Being friendly and efficient made our stay so lovely. Located very central to everything was a big bonus! First time in Buncrana and will definitely be back again to Lake of Shadows! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting this lovely town .

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Parking was convenient and easy, which made our arrival stress-free. It’s a family-owned property, and you can really feel the warm, personal touch in the service — everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was fresh and lovely Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy and pleasant stay!
All Going brilliant will be back 🙌
Great location,good food although had a bit of a wait on Saturday evening,few customers got up and left,but they were busy with a few big tables,special mention to Lilly who served us both Saturday night and again Sunday morning,very friendly,bubbly and a credit to your staff
We were to stay here for 3 nights however we had a family emergency on the 3rd day & had to return home. Jennifer very kindly refunded the 1 night we couldn't stay. Thank you to Jennifer. We found some of the rooms to be very gloomy so eventually we were given a lovely bright room with 3 windows so we were happy to be in the room. Everything was spotless - comfy bed - great shower - tea & coffee making facilities. Breakfast was adequate not a huge selection but enough. We had dinner there one evening with family & the food was diverse & very tasty. Staff are very pleasant & helpful. Hotel is just a few minutes walk from Buncrana high St so very convenient. Would stay here again ⭐️
Nice clean room. Friendly staff.
Lobby and interior dated.
