    That I only stayed one night!

    The location was incredible and the room had an amazing picture view of Lough Eske. The room was truly huge with a massive comfortable bed. Fluffy towels and water, tea and coffee facilities in the room. Noreen was so kind, friendly but unintrusive. The breakfast was beyond what I expected- continental options, fresh coffee and even fresh eggs for us. I could not fault it. Amazing value for money.

    Did ent like the color of the water. When you flush the toilet the water runs yellow which makes you think toilet haven’t been flushed. The reason for this is . They are not on mains water. The water runs down from the mountains. Apparently it is perfectly safe to drink. Apart from that everything Beas perfect

    Lovely view overlooking Louth Eske. Host was very welcoming. Lovely breakfast

    We had 3 nights stay. It is in a beautiful location with views over a lake. The room was spacious and luxurious and spotlessly clean. The included breakfast was excellent . It is only a short drive to the town of Donegal, and well placed to drive further north..
