Hotels near Magee 1866, Donegal

We stayed last Saturday night and had a very comfortable evening here. The hotel is light and bright and clean inside. We were given a friendly welcome and our room was very clean and looked recently refurbished. The bed was very comfortable. The room was too warm, even with the windows open and the radiator turned right down, you could have probably asked for a fan. We had a swim in the Leisure Centre. I usually don't enjoy it if a hotel's pool is really a Leisure Centre because they aren't normally as nice looking as a private hotel pool but this was nicer than most, with steps down in, not a ladder and there was a steam room and jacuzzi and 2 heated loungers. We were lucky as it was open until 7pm and it was quiet, I think there may be times it may not be as quiet. You have to wear a cap, which I dislike, but hey-ho, a lot of hotels down south request this, maybe particular council rules or something? Although some hotels waive it? We ate in Chapter Twenty and I must say this restaurant is stunning looking, the decor is so chic and modern and a beautiful colour palette. I am not a foodie so don't go to really posh restaurants but you would think you were in a high end restaurant here, I had the best of both worlds here with delicious food in the most gorgeous setting. The menu had plenty of choice, normal steak, fish, burgers. I had the Mexican taco basket which was lovely and my husband enjoyed a burger. The apple crumble was to die for and the lemon tart was very good too,. There was a blip with the order which was dealt with really well, the staff were very good, Collum looked after us and was a gentleman. The buffet breakfast the next morning was very good and well run by the staff there, I do think there should be a wee sign at the bottom of the stairs to direct people upstairs, we sat there afterwards and the number of people who walk through to go to Chapter Twenty, or stand at the bottom confused as where to go, even though you can hear the noise above, I could have gotten a job, directing them upstairs. The hotel is well situated for discovering Donegal, we are happy to recommend it and would return, especially to the restaurant. Thank you.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful part of the country. We were welcomed warmly on arrival and the experience had that authentic Irish high-end feel to it. Really good check in experience and a very good room (junior suite). Lovely bar area with very attentive service. Our three star review is due to two main issues. 1. Our experience in the Cedars restaurant was not good and was out of step with the rest of the hotel experience. Food was high quality but service was poor. The food was thrown at us, very short gaps between courses, wine served several minutes after the food had arrived, waiting staff were snappy and clearly didn’t want to be there. They were understaffed, but in addition to that the service culture was not evident in the people serving us. We couldn’t wait to get back to the bar (which was excellent again). And 2, the room was lovely but way too warm and there was no facility to adjust the temperature. So, overall slightly disappointing as we left unrested.

What a fabulous experience. Stayed for one night, B&B and four course dinner package. Firstly, the food at this hotel is superb, honestly would class it as 5* gourmet food. I would stay here again for the food alone. The views from the restaurant are fantastic and the staff are exceptional. The room we stayed in had a beautiful view of the sea. The only minus is that the mattress may need replacing, as it was not the most comfortable. Also the bathroom would require updating, it's a little tired and in need of a makeover. However, I cannot recommed this hotel enough and certainly will plan to go back very soon!

When driving on the beautiful rural road, you will see the exquisite small houses, woodhill is a family hotel that is invisible even on the road, driving deep into the forested path to reach, you need to prepare signals and psychology; But after arriving, you will find that you want to experience the countryside of Ireland to come to woodhill. John is a sincere grandfather who has stayed in Hong Kong with eleven grandchildren. It is very interesting to chat with him. The night is really quiet and rare to stay away from the lights.

I did not stay in the Allingham. We stopped off for dinner & a drink. The staff were very friendly in the bar, quick to serve with a smile. And were very helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant - got a table by the window which provided wonderful views. It was quiet when we first went in, however it was packed out within 20 minutes. Yet the servers never faulted. Service was quick with a smile. Food was delicious and the portions were huge! I'm told the Guinness was tasty, while I enjoyed my non-alcoholic beverages. Would definitely return and look about staying also.
