Having won a night away at one of the Best Western Hotels on their facebook page, we booked to stay at their hotel The Milford Inn, Donegal, for two nights over Easter weekend, got a call on Good Friday to say that hotel had unfortunate gone into liquidation. Tried not to panic too much, as the lady gave me the... More

Stayed here last weekend as i was attending a wedding nearby, we found the staff to be very helpful and friendly, the setting was perfect and the food was excellent (price-wise and quality), in comparison to other hotels in the locality I must say the accommodation rates are minimal (PS:Definitely reserve a table if you're planning on eating in the...

This was our first stay in the Waters Edge Hotel and found it to be small and quaint, overlooking Lough Swilly a beautiful location, upon checking in we were shown to our room which had a spectacular view over the Lough, very new and clean and decorated to a good 3* standard. Evening meal in the restaurant was amazing, locally... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night in May 2011. Before arrival I'd asked for a spacious room, if available, with a bath in the ensuite. We got a relatively small room with a tiny (and I mean tiny bath). Perhaps this was a 'big' room. If so, I wouldn't like to see a small one. The restaurant... More

Water's Adge has a stunning setting with magnificent views over Lough Swilly from both the restaurant and the bedroom. You are within feet of the water's edge. The restaurant is light and airy and the food we had was really good. On the Tuesday night we took advantage of the set three course a la carte menu for 22.50 euros... More

My husband and I went to stay at Waters Edge for the weekend to celebrate his 40th Birthday but we wished we'd stayed at home. Sold as the ‘Unwind for the Weekend’ deal; this couldn’t have been further from the truth. There was no 'check in' on arrival, we were just given a key, pointed towards a door and told... More

Stayed here for 2 nights for a weekend break. The hotel doesn't have many rooms but most have a great view. The food was fantastic, and with an open fire and great view of the sea it hard to not relax with a tasty pint in your hand More

Staying before and after a wedding nearby my partner and I both felt that the staff were very friendly and helpful; the room was clean, neat had all the comforts you need or a short stay; the food was excellent and the setting was beautiful (the view both from our room and from the main restaurant were stunning).

I think that things have changed considerably here since some of the other reviews were written. The hotel has the most beautiful views of the water. The room we had was really large, exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was luxurious. The water is brown, not because it is dirty or unhealthy but because it comes from the earth,... More
