Garlic bread... More

I along with a group of 94 others attended a festival at the Abbey hotel and from start to finish they could not do enough for us. We had breakfast when we arrived and rooms were made available for us early. The rooms were very clean, the food first class, and the staff more then friendly. The entertainment was first... More

A friend booked this hotel for a night in Donegal Town. First appearances can be deceptive in that I didn't think much of it on first sight and checking in during the start of a large wedding reception worried us about noise etc. Having now stayed in it I would definitely recommend it. The staff were professional and very helpful... More

I stayed in this hotel recently. All the staff were very friendly and the Restaurant Food was of a high standard for a 3 star hotel. Residents with special dietary requirements ( Coeliacs ) were well catered for. I asked for a room at the rear of the hotel overlooking the estuary. The room was very comfortable and quiet with...

We spent the Easter break at The Abbey Hotel for 2 nights during a tour around Ireland. We had a fabulous time. The hotel was extremely good with friendly staff and plenty of entertainment with live music and disco. The breakfasts were marvellous with plenty of selection. The only downfall was that wifi is only available at the reception area... More

This is just a review of the restaurant, didn't stay in hotel. Had the €20 set menu, was surprisingly good. Starters are minimal and nothing special but good main course. I had the steak, which was rare as I requested (it isn't always). House red wine at €14 not bad. Highlight was the various deserts all on a trolley. While... More

Had a weekend stay in the Abbey 2 nights B&B & 1 evening meal. Had the evening meal in the Market House Restaurant and both the food and service were excellent. Great choice of food and the dessert menu was heavenly. There was live music in the bar so it was a nice way to finish up the Friday night.Room... More

Parking was a bit of an issue, no direct parking outside the hotel, had to park down the street in a public... More
