Absolutely stunning hotel- definitely had the wow factor! Doorman was straight out to the car as we parked to carry the luggage in. Room was fantastic- very spacious. Lovely scented toiletries. We had dinner in the Cedar restaurant. Food was delicious and well presented. Staff very attentive. Lovely breakfast provided next morning. Spa facilities were superb. Highly recommend - the only 5 star hotel in Donegal.
