Loved by guests
"The location is perfect, minutes from city centre but in a more residential area so it's very quite at night."
"Breakfast next morning was the best we've had in the longest, not a sign of the dreaded breakfast buffet. !!"
"The town of Donegal is quite lovely and very easy to walk in."
