Good quality accommodation for a short stay, convenient between Derry and Donegal.
Pros:

The property provides all necessary amenities for a short stay (accommodation, breakfast, downstairs bar and meals, safe parking, etc) and is well-located for visiting nearby Derry/Londonderry or for starting a tour of Donegal. The staff were friendly and helped us to get a taxi as well as dealing with minor issues promptly.

Cons:

The room smelt a little musty when we arrived but was fine once we aired it. The property is also right next to a busy road but once closed the windows kept most of the noise out and it was quiet enough at night.

Very basic accomodation. I would not want to stay again.
Pros:

Breakfast was acceptable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Superficially clean, but carpet was grubby and doors were thick with months of dust. One of the window catches was broken, so there was constant outside noise. No hairdryer in the room and cups were only rinsed out, rather than replaced after use. The pillows were old and lumpy. The bathroom was reasonably clean.
