Harvey's Point

Attended a wedding at the hotel. Ceremony and reception. The location is really nice on the banks of the lake. Weather allowed for the ceremony to be outside. The hotel rooms were huge and of a very high quality. Food was exceptional wedding related and food eaten at other times. Staff were really nice and helpful. By far the best hotel stayed in, in some time.

Great hotel in a very picturesque location which arguably should be a 5 star. Food is excellent and staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are fantastic. Downsides are location and the price of accommodation. Location great if only staying there, not so much if plan is to head to Donegal Town.

My wife and I spent 2 nights in Harvey’s Point to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Upgraded to a lovely Lakeshore Suite 👍|Food was fantastic. Breakfast excellent, dinner even better. Lovely walks and a great switch off location, Highly Recommended. Will most certainly be returning.

One of the top hotels in Ireland - and we’ve visited many! From a warm welcome to staff who have a ‘can do’ attitude there was nothing to find fault with from start to finish. We had a lakeview balcony room which was comfortable and well furnished. The bar was a stunning room. You could eat in the restaurant or in the conservatory off the bar. In both places the food was of high quality and the service polished. For us breakfast was the stand out aspect of our stay presided over by the wonderful Eilis who treats everyone as if they are an old friend. The selection of buffet food is enormous and you can have freshly prepared cooked food to order. The whole hotel is luxuriously appointed and makes a stay an occasion, with open fires for that homely Irish feel. It’s certainly not stiff and starchy formal - just special. There is no doubt we will return.

We treated ourselves to a 2 night stay at Harvey's for my husbands birthday and as always it never disappoints. We have spent so many wonderful nights here and have very fond memories. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. We ate in the bar both nights and the food was exceptional.|Our only wish would be a little more lively music in the bar like it used to be.

Harvey's continues to excel in all aspects of hospitality and accommodation. Room was very spacious, pristine, excellently serviced and bed extremely comfortable and clean. Hotel staff were personable, courteous, efficient and welcoming. Food in casual dining and in restaurant was first class and breakfasts relaxed with a very wide range of food which catered to all allergies etc. A quick scan of reviews shows that this hotel has maintained its excellent standards for many years. A tremendous credit to management, chefs and staff at all levels.

Wonderful stay at Harvey's Point for 40th Wedding anniversary. We booked a mountain view room with balcony and could have spent all our time just soaking in the view. This hotel was the highlight of our road trip. Breakfast was the best I've ever experienced. Dinners delicious. Staff were lovely, and the whole experience was like being cossetted in a big warm blanket.

The drive here from Portsalon in the dark on a snowy December morning was nothing short of spectacular. Dramatic Donegal scenery made even more stark and beautiful by the shiny white snow. I looked forward to the drive back. The hotel itself is in a fantastic location and the dining room overlooks a fjord type lake. Black water reflecting hotel lights and surrounding mountains. The breakfast was tops. Huge buffet with egg and omlete station. And additional a la carte selections. I had kippers with scrambled eggs followed by the full Irish. Delicious food, great coffee and wonderful service. Worth the 70 minute drive to get here.

I can see why this was rated the hotel of the year! The rooms are beautiful, food is amazing, and the staff are wonderful!

I can't do a proper review for this as we only stopped in for a cuppa tea and to check it out and have a stroll along lough Eske. The hotel is 80's Sheik at its best, but that's not to say it isn't glamorous. The décor is all dark woods and plush carpet and there are quirky little features all over. There a place (I think it was called) Isabelle's corner where all the walls are decorated by artwork by this lady Isabelle. They have an amazing looking wine cave, just off the bar, and the bar itself is awesome. Its Hexagon in shape with one whole wall taken up by an open fire/range. So we had a couple of cups of earl grey teas and sat on the veranda overlooking the lake. I have to say I will be thoroughly looking forward to staying here at some point in the near future.

If you have a specific dietary requirement, i'd say stay in your car and keep on driving because you won't find much sustenance here. I came here as a vegetarian, the soup used chicken stock (the waitress had to go into the kitchen to find this out), and I was offered a stir fry which turned out to be an unpalatable undercooked mess of sticky rice, grated carrots and sliced onions drenched in a sickly sweet sauce. I managed three forkfuls. The management were "kind" enough to charge me for a children's portion even though it was clearly indigestible. Hotels need to modernise and consider a larger customer base than they've been used to in the past.

This was an amazing dinner. Was prix fix for 59 euro for four courses. First served an amuse busche and then I had seared scallops in a white chocolate dUce with. Coconut foam. Sounds odd but wAs delicous. Followed by a lemon lime sorbet with baked pineapple and diced cucumber. Main course was beef filet with mushrooms and sides of polenta, brocolli and mashed potatoes. I chose the cheese course for dinner and it was delicous. Waiter told us that the chef had just returned from a competition for best restaurant hotel in Dublin and they had come in 2nd! Our room was also the deluxe size and was huge! Bedding is a bit tired but the view of the lake is wonderful

It's a must go to! Loved it here! Went for a three course meal and it's always good to book a table a few days before hand. I sat at a wonder seat,which includes looking over the lake , it's amazing!! Food is delish

Nestled right on the shore of the gorgeous Lough Eske, Harvey's Point Hotel is a visit to a slower, more relaxed and welcoming world. The Pluses: We stay four nights in a Deluxe room, which is easily the largest suite I have every stayed in. The King bed was very comfortable . The wardrobe area was spacious and provided more than enough room for our clothing. And bathroom was very well appointed, with both a shower and a very large whirlpool bath for two. Do not be taken aback by the local water. Though slightly brown in color, it was fine for drinking and was amazingly soft for skin and hair. There is a well-stocked mini bar along with complimentary tea/coffee, fruit and cookies. We especially appreciated the french press coffee carafe! There is also complimentary bottled water for those who prefer not to drink from the tap. The property is amazingly beautiful and has the warmth and class of a county manor. We spent one rainy afternoon in the communal Reading Room looking out over the lough, sitting in comfortable leather furniture with our books, tea and whiskey. A second day was spent hiking around Louch Eske enjoying the gorgeous views of the lough, hills, and sheep fields of Donegal. The beautiful bar with deep leather chairs and a peat-burning fireplace was a wonderful spot to chat about our day in the evenings. The staff at Harvey's was unfailingly cordial, friendly and welcoming. They assisted us in hiring a local driver for a day of touring, laundered some clothing which was returned quickly and in excellent condition, and were always happy to see to our comfort. Areas to Improve: In the otherwise amazing bathroom, the lack of an electrical outlet near a mirror was a bit of an annoyance. The vanity has shaver outlets, but there was no place to plug in a curling iron for my hair. The dining at Harvey's was an interesting mix of wonderful flavors from well prepared food presented in an overly fussy and dated manner. The over use of foams, sauce-dotted plates and unidentifiable garnishes was a distraction from the very satisfying flavors. We found the more casually presented breakfasts and lunch menus to be more visually pleasing then the dinner menu. We reserved a table at for the Cabaret Night, a weekly dinner/cabaret show that draws locals and tour groups as well as guests at the hotel. The buffet dinner was excellent and the staff service during it was outstanding. Unfortunately our enjoyment of the evening was derailed by two issues. We were informed during the show that the big draw of the evening (and the primary reason we came to the Cabaret) SephirA was not performing that night. Finding out that way right in the middle of the evening was very disappointing and left us feeling as if we had been mislead. We undoubtedly would have still attended if we had been informed of the replacement act before time, so the unpleasant surprise seemed unnecessary. Also, parts of the audience were less then well-mannered. There were two tables around ours where the guests were talking loudly through out the performance without any awareness of their rudeness. We left early as they continued to get louder. Having said that, we would return to Harvey's in a heart beat. The experience of the hotel itself ... the smell of peat burning in fireplaces, the peaceful serenity of the property, the comfort and luxury of the rooms ... are not to be missed.

Cannot say enough praise for this place! Amazing, tranquil views from the lakeside suite balcony! Michelle at reception was exceptional in her service! I've never experienced such genuine and thoughtful caring for our comfort and enjoyment. We're Hilton vacation club owners and have always enjoyed our experience there, but Hilton ought to study Harvey's Point! Exceptional!!! The food? Omg!!!!!!! To die for! Absolutely gorgeous!

Been here twice. Love this place. Sean the bellman is a huge asset and made our stay even better. Got the 800 sq ft executive suite at a bargain price of only 350 euro a night. The penthouse suite is a deal, at 1700 + sq feet is incredible. If you go up towards Donegal then you need to stay here!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful this Hotel is. I will make it a point to stay at this hotel EVERY time I go to Ireland! As a matter of fact, we are going to plan a trip entirely around staying here for the whole two weeks of our vacation next time. Harvey's point is Pure Luxury at an affordable price. Our executive room was larger than any hotel room we've ever had in the States. Beautifully appointed, comfortable and elegant - if I hadn't wanted to explore all the wonders of Donegal, I would never have left our room. The complimentary breakfast is bountiful and delicious! The tranquil setting is salve for the soul with beautiful views of Loche Eske and there are walks and hikes to take right from this amazing property. Donegal town with its access to great trad music is a must and only a very short drive or cab ride away. The owner Deidre is amazing, absolutely amazing. Bringing everything about Harvey's Point to a higher level with grace and charm, a great work ethic and a relationship with her employees that create a professional and convivial atmosphere. Harvey's Point epitomizes everything we love about Ireland!

Terrific hotel and restaurant. Held my daughter's wedding reception here, and though remote, it is in a beautiful location. HUGE and comfortable rooms. Excellent staff. Fantastic food and wedding planning. They handled dietary restrictions (vegan, coeliac) beautifully. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful Hotel just outside Donegal. Pet friendly. Stayed in a deluxe room which was MASSIVE! Jacuzzi in bathroom. Staff friendly. Relaxing atmosphere. On a down side the bar food although tasty was very sparce on the size of the portions. Asked for traditional fish and chips. Fish was barely bigger than a fish finger. One other negative would be that I believe it is overpriced.
