Edna

checked in online, on arrival mentioned i would have booked a 2 night break but could not see any offers...it was obvious that the receptionist was not receptive as we had booked through Expedia...said we could not get the same rate as our first night was with Expedia...also found a sock from the previous person in the room lying beside a single bed...which would have been found if the room had been hoovered. Breakfast so disappointing, poor quality, machine for coffee not planning a return visit

Lovely relaxing hotel

Lovely clean hotel, friendly staff, food delicious. Hotel set in idyllic surroundings for relaxing beach walks with plenty of coffee outlets en route. The only thing that lets this hotel down is the very poor WiFi

Nice spot in Buncrana

Thanks very much, just a quick one night stay, but the girls at reception were great, got me a sea view, and then the night team were great, got me a breakfast at 6am too. Bar staff great, nice food in bar, and the pool is a really nice pool too. A good location and a nice put next door, the drift inn.
