Motel by the lake

Lovely newly renovated motel like standard because room size is a little tight but excellent views of the lake. Self check in and out went fine. Would definitely stay here again. The restaurant had a great dinner menu

Fantastic place to stay...very smooth self check in..only downfall is no breakfast option,close to some beautiful wee bars and a shop..right on lough Swilly...wee ate at the restaraunt..although it didnt serve alcohol but my partner was able to get their local ale as they havent got their drink licence yet. the scenery was out of this world looking right onto the lough..will definitely be staying again very soon 😀

Although I wouldn't call this a 'hotel' I did have a very nice stay here. There was no front desk help but check in was very easy as it was detailed nicely in the messages prior to arriving. The room was great and had a wonderful view out over the water. The restaurant was also great and very convenient.

6/10 Good

Room was quite basic but comfortable ...BUT...did not have any chair/s to sit on; did not have any refrigerator; the restaurant supposedly operating, was closed all the time; there were no staff on premises and Wotif did not respond to messages. A Zombie establishment in a pretty location.

Check in very easy, clean room, lovely location with view of the lough. We didn't try the restaurant but it looked good. The only thing missing was a couple of cups so we could make tea (a kettle and tea bags were provided but no cups).

Excellent stay

Absolutely gorgeous setting, we had The Fahan Room and it was just right beside the water. The view was amazing, lovely large window to make the most of the view. Comfy bed and very clean. The bathroom was a little tired but fully functional. It was excellent value for money. Can’t wait to return.

The remote staffing is a new wrinkle to me, but it worked fine. Rathmullen was a bit slow on Monday night, but that’s to be expected. Hotel was comfortable.

Views! This room was large, perfect for a family of four, and had an amazing view of the ocean which was literally right out the window. We could hear the ocean at night with the windows cracked. Bathroom was great too with HOT water and exceptional water pressure!
