Excellent property. Needs security on ground floor windows so that they can be left partly open for ventilation and not alow access to intruders during the night.

Great Location
We were staying in town for a wedding. Hotel is a great location for nearby ‘attractions’ e.g. beach visits, waterfalls. Buncrana had things to do too such as Swan Park. Room was suitable and quite spacious. Cot for baby was perfect and a bath was also ideal. A fridge would have made the room even better. Didn’t have a view except of the kitchen door and bins (was a bit noisy when they were washing up but we closed the windows). Perfect hotel for convenience. Staff was exceptionally helpful and very accommodating from check in staff, breakfast staff and servers and cleaners.
