Lovely gem

The location was perfect to explore the area. You would need to stay a couple nights to make sure you can discover the beauties of Donegal. There was a restaurant attached to the hotel, and the food was spectacular. Enjoyed a very delicious dinner and couple drinks after a full day of activities. Mary, the hotel owner, was very attentive and made sure we had a great stay. My boyfriend I loved the details of this place and made it seem like a second home during our holidays. Thank you Mary!

Our stay was delightful! There was a beautiful beach just a little walk down the hill, and a fun pub. Our accommodations were clean and roomy. We especially loved the reading room! This is going on the list of places to visit again!

Bien dans l'ensemble

Petit hôtel coquet dans un environnement agréable et calme proche du golf et de l'océan. Nous avons apprécié les petits salons confortables permettant la lecture, ainsi que le restaurant de très bonne qualité. Deux petits bémols : le petit-déjeuner qui aurait mérité un buffet plus garni (ex : seuls fruits proposés pommes flétries, clémentines et parfois bananes). Et notre chambre qui était petite et bruyante car soufflerie à proximité. Dans l'ensemble, séjour agréable, et personnel sympathique.

2/10 Poor

When I made the reservation I requested a single room - and stated that I would be accompanied by a dog. When I arrived after a particularly arduous journey I was told by a rather frosty receptionist that the room I had booked was not dog friendly. But sure I hadn’t “ booked “ a room it surely is the Hotels responsibility to allocate a room suitable to the guests request. I had received an email to state this at 19.07 on check in day ! Less than 1 hour before I arrived ! Anyway I was offloaded into what was described as a cottage - really like a hostel room and frosty like Mary herself. Breakfast was distinctly average with staff mire interested in chatting about that’s days upcoming Wedding. It’s a nice location but clearly suffers from a lack of hands on Management.

Oui mais non...

Je pense que l’inspection sanitaire n’est pas venue depuis longtemps vérifier la propreté des chambres : cheveux, miettes, poussière dans l’aération de la douche... Meubles vieillots. Le petit coin salon est agréable et le petit déjeuner copieux. Les aloutours sont désertiques !

Love the Lake House.

I love the Lake House. Mary and Geraldine and staff are so hospitable. The rooms are very tastefully decorated, beds really comfy. We have been travelling Ireland now for 13 days, and Lake House is easily our favourite so far. I would stay here again, if I'm in the area.

Donegal Charm

The staff are so friendly & breakfast, dinner & snacks were very good. Well presented & very good standard, served on warm plates, one of my pet gates is hot food on cold plates. The bedroom was a small but functional & the bathroom was very good.

Nice hotel, gorgeous location

Beautiful location close to an amazing beach. Staff were so pleasant and helpful. Delicious home cooked food, particularly the sea food. Rooms could do with a bit of updating but were spotlessly clean and comfortable. Broadband was fine downstairs but a bit hit and miss in the room. Overall we had a brilliant couple of days and will definitely go back.

Gemütliches, ruhiges, unaufgeregtes Hotel

Hat wirklich den Charme und den Flair eines Landhotels. Essen war gut, Das Personal war sehr freundliche. Es herrschte eine gediegene Ruhe und Unaufgeregtheit. Das Hotel ist zu empfehlen, wer Ruhe und Einsamkeit sucht.

Lovely break at Lake House Hotel

We had a great time. The staff were fantastic and our children had a wonderful time. We ate in the restaurant in the evening which was lovely and a great hot breakfast was everything we needed to set us up for our day on the beach. Its a lovely little hotel in a great spot. Very nice for families exploring the surrounding areas. Our bedroom was big and so there was more than enough room for the 4 of us. We have said we would be going back to visit again.

Beautiful boutique hotel in picturesque surroundings. Cosy with the roaring fire, slept like a log, gin menu good and breakfast fab considering I have coeliac disease and don't eat meat.

Will definitely return

Great hotel with extremely welcoming staff, lovely food and the best pints of Smithwicks I've had in a long while! We visited because it was pet friendly and got a great room, separate from the main building so weren't worried about any stray barks disturbing other clientele

Bonne adresse

Charmant petit hôtel à quelques kilomètres du bord de mer. L'accueil est très sympathique. Notre chambre était confortable, un peu petite tout de même et légèrement bruyante le soir avec le bar-restaurant juste en dessous. Jolie vue sur le lac. Petit déjeuner correct proposant le traditionnel irish breakfast. Wifi capricieux. Bon rapport qualité"-prix. Peu d'options de restauration dans les environs proches mais l'hôtel propose une carte variée. La plage à une encablure est magnifique, propice à de longues balades en fin de journée avec le soleil couchant.
