We arrived to a mega friendly welcome. There's lots of parking adjacent to the hotel. This entire and proud county has happy, friendly in its DNA. It's everywhere you go and it's great. Our room was comfortable, good size with tea and coffee facilities, a TV on the wall, table, chairs, sideboard and as our room was at the front we had a lovely view across the bay. We used the hotel as a great cosy base to tour around Arranmore island, Burtonport and Dungloe. The hotel has wifi throughout. There are simply stunning beaches close by and what's most amazing is that they are pretty much empty. The breakfast choices were just ace, smoked salmon with scrambled egg, fish of the day (haddock) great brown bread and the usual meat stuff that we avoid when there's fish choices. They also make their own muesli and it's darn good too. Dinner was very good and fairly priced. Their garlic mussels were very tasty. I also enjoyed the vegetarian pasta which had only one error, the pasta was over cooked. My wife also enjoyed her prawn cocktail starter and roast chicken main. Another thing about this county; the Guinness is always served up perfect and at €4 in most places it's a bargain. There were two American movie types about town. They have a holiday home in the area, Ms Sarah J Parker (whom I never heard off) and her husband Matthew Broderick (who I recalled was Inspector Gadget). They were there with their kids - when we saw them, she looked unhappy and he looked distracted. No one bothered them which is how it should be. We return again and again to different parts of this diverse county and we enjoy it but honestly many of the roads are crap so when you visited, which you must, be prepared.
