Recommend the Strand Hotel as a great base to see the spectacular scenery of the Inishowen Peninsula. Hotel is right in the middle of Ballyliffin with short walk to beach. Rooms are basic but spotlessly clean and shower is great. Food and drink very reasonably priced. Only downfall is lack of WIFI outside main reception area. Overall great value hotel.

if you want somewhere to relax and chill out then this place is for you near a local golf course, beach and friendly staff where money goes further than you think. Food is superb I have attended a few weddings, anniversaries etc. so its no joke I even took on the Doherty name that is how good it is.....as they... More

Stayed here for 2 nights while attending a wedding in the hotel next door. Weather was miserable but the scenery and views in the area are spectacular and they alone make going to Donegal worthwhile. The Strand hotel is in a great location, half-mile up the road from Pollan beach which is a lovely walk. Parking is free and easy... More

Booked this hotel through a groupon deal. We really enjoyed our stay. We couldn't really go out much as it was the weekend of the bad snow but we enjoyed our room on second floor, very spacious and gorgeous bath in our room. Food was absolutely gorgeous, would definitely recommend the lumpy bumpy cake it was amazing! Only complaint we... More
