Our family of 11 stayed here for a couple of nights to celebrate a birthday and it was fabulous. The hotel is lovely, with plenty of areas to sit and catch up. The staff were great, helpful and friendly, I would recommend Rathmullan house to anyone looking for an oasis away from the chain hotels. More

We love this hotel; the ambiance, the history, the beautiful setting, fantastic food with warm and friendly staff. We can't recommend this hotel enough - if you like an old traditional Irish hotel this is it. You can't beat it. Very romantic, but also good for families. Donegal is a special place - a time apart. You can't help but... More

Rathmullan House has been an institution in Donegal tourism for half a century . We had been fairly regular visitors at an earlier time, but had not stayed there for quite a few years. We were interested to see how it measured up to its past reputation, especially now that it has grown significantly bigger with two new wings and... More

It takes much further than you'd think to get to this hotel, tucked away on teh shores of Lough Swilly in Donegal. The food is excellent, with a large emphasis on locally grown produce and caught seafood. But I thought there was a funny smell in the bathroom. More

We all enjoyed our stay at this country house hotel. The setting is gorgeous what with the immaculate beach just a very short walk from the front of the house. The food is top class, and there's lots to choose from, from local game to seafood, it has to be one of the best restaurants I have been to, very... More

We got married at Rathmullan House on 13th October 2011 and it was just incredible. Our party began the night before the wedding with Irish Stew and a trad session in Cellar Bar. The hotel sensibly sent everyone to bed early before the wedding day. A lovely touch. The wedding day went without a hitch with everything from the ceremony... More

My wife and I have stayed here many times and is well worth every penny. On one ocassion I had a toothache at 3:00am and although the manager couldnt give me any painkillers he didnt mind sitting in the lounge with me while I had 3 hot whiskies for "medicinal" purposes. All the staff are very friendly, the food is... More
