McGrory's Hotel Culdaff

Relaxed evening with great food and company |The whole experience was wonderful. The starters were generous and beautifully presented.|The main courses were delicious and very generous also. There was the local catch of the day with beer batter, and homemade chips. There was massive burgers, turkey and beef mains that all got the thumbs up. The kids meal was nice too and a good bit of it eaten.|Desserts were amazing. Staff were friendly and very efficient even though busy. The atmosphere was warm, well coming and cosy.|Highly highly recommend a trip here.

This place has the potential to be something special. However it lacks on the basics. I have stayed here twice now, and contacted McGrorys directly 2 weeks ago with issues from my stay. To date I have yet to receive so much as an acknowledgement so I am putting a review here.||The first stay was September, and I was charged twice. I explained at receiption that it was pre paid due to being via living social, but due to no signal and not being offered wifi to prove same, I was billed a second time. When I got wifi in the room I went down to show the girl at reception proof of purchase, whereby Scott was then called out to help with a refund. His response was "well we don't normally have prepaid bookings" We were then woken at approx 7.30am the next morning to drilling. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.||We then went for 2 nights in December. The first night the food was absolutely beautiful, and we were told a michelen chef was down from Dublin to provide training. However, my partner ordered a bottle of wine, and 20 minutes later in the middle of his meal, had to go looking for it as it had been forgotten.||I requested prosecco and was served a very sweet drink resembling shloer. I was advised on highlighting this that it was champagne I was given and the drink rectified. Now, I have never had sweet champagne in my life so I know that was a cover up. We then requested a bottle of the proper prosecco and were told no as they were running low so it was only by the glass.|Later that night I was once again served the shloer like drink.||The second night the food was just not good. I ordered crab cakes, which came out teaspoon sized and freezing cold! Had I known they were miniscule and served cold I would never have gotten them. My partner had monkfish and while tasty was very small for the price.|Breakfast on the morning of departure was inedible, the egg was burnt at the bottom and still raw at the top. ||This place is lovely. The rooms are cosy, the staff are all so lovely. But all very young with no senior figure in place. The food sadly is hit and miss, but when it is right it is incredible! |Once again it has the potential to be something special, but it needs some serious refining.

My sister & I & our husbands stayed in Mc Grorys for two nights while visiting family last week. First impressions were very positive as the whole place was beautifully warm & cosy on a cold wintry night. Everyone we dealt with was so very welcoming & genuinely so. The breakfasts were excellent & we had dinner there on both nights. The food was delicious. My lasting impression of Mc Grorys is the lovely welcome ; the dedication of the staff & the lovely homely feel of the place. Highly recommended.

Thank you to everyone @ McGrorys for making our stay so enjoyable especially Conan, Natasha and Caroline. |Would thoroughly recommend anyone to book a stay if you’re lucky to get one that is. Hotel has been tastefully upgraded as has the menu which is superb. |Good luck to The Doherty family and everyone with their new project-we’re sure to be back 👌.

Warm and homely hotel with very attentive staff. |Kept clean and tidy by the charming and efficient staff. |Well prepared meals from the menu should not disappoint with local seafood a delight.|Musical entertainment is to a high standard.|Beautiful beach nearby which is great for walking, swimming, sunbathing "at times".|A special word of thanks to Scott, who seems to be everywhere, for looking after us during our visit.|Can wait to visit again.

Myself and my husband went for a two night stay in McGrorys Hotel. From the beginning to end, the welcome we got, to the very friendly and helpful staff was amazing. The girl serving breakfast was so friendly and told us lots of places to visit. The food was gorgeous and our room was lovely. We definitely be coming back again.

Went recently to see the fantastic band, Trasna. We booked online and paid 55 euro.|When we arrived there was no one even checking admissions/barcode, etc which was surprising. There was a whiskey tasting just outside the venue door and naturally the sound of merriment, but the door was left open for the first part of the concert and it was very distracting. As the show progressed there was increasing noise from the back of the venue with people talking & laughing loudly( which is great if it was a pub setting), doors constantly opening & people walking in and out. The music was amazing but we could not enjoy it, we moved twice and even led to the band appealing to those at the back to keep quieter, which was embarrassing. It was very disappointing. It would be great if there was a divider in the room so that those interested paying guests were able to listen or that staff could do something to make it better. Mc Grorys is a lovely place and it's great to see it up & running but for music lovers, it would be great to see an improvement in the backroom.

I'm probably a bit biased but we really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food at dinner and breakfast was really good. The room was as expected. Very clean and comfortable.

We dropped in for lunch on a rainy July day. I wasn't that hungry so I ordered a mussel appetizer. It was something like 13€ but it was a serving big enough for a meal. The mussels were locally harvested so the6 were really fresh. A great deal! My wife had a vegan curry rice dish which was excellent as well. Forgot exactly how much it cost but it was good value as well. We were pleasantly surprised they actually had a vegan dish on the menu.

We arrived at 7pm the bar was buzzing but restaurant empty. We weren't planning on a three course meal but the menu was very appealing. Setting: Very nice, spacious with bare stone walls and tea lights everywhere which was very cosy! We had intended only to have a starter or light snack but the bar was full (buzzing) and no available seating for our party of 4 so we tried the restaurant-It was a Sunday evening and we had the whole place to ourselves- I love it when this happens, it makes me feel like a celebrity! :) Food: Very difficult to please all four of us as we have such different tastes but this restaurant was fabulous. Lovely range of foods and extensive wine list catering for a wide variety of tastes- all well priced. (Two courses for 25€ ; three courses 29€) My main was salmon and hake - well cooked and flavorsome, sides came included (veg, potato and chips) Staff: Waiting staff were helpful but not intrusive. I'd have liked more help / recommendation with the wine choice.

Foods great if maybe a little expensive. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Quite intimate this is great for a treat.

Owners are WONDERFUL! Will do anything even open early if the know you want in! Spent a great afternoon talking with them and even there dog Penny!

We had a group of 11, ages 25-75, on a Saturday evening. Staff was warm and accommodating. Delicious dinner, served hot. Food is homemade with locally grown ingredients. Live music started around 9:30-10PM. McGrorys has top notch music acts all year round. We didn't stay at the hotel, but rooms are clean, comfortable. An authentic Irish pub and much more!
