We have just returned from a super weekend break in Rathmullan staying in the Fort Royal Hotel. The hotel is so peaceful , relaxing and well run in the hands of Tim Fletcher proprietor/manager. We were made most welcome by every member of staff that we came into contact with.

The food is also very well done with the use of good quality local ingredients in the obviously skillful and carefull hands of Tim who is also the chef.

There is a reasonable wine list that should satisfy all needs of taste and price points. The house wine was good value and well selected.

My only gripe was the lack of a shower in our en-suite, this was a minor matter though everything else made up for this.

Coffee and drinks after dinner in the lounge or bar overlooking Lough Swilly was a good way to end each day.

The gardens are well maintained and contain a 9 hole pitch and put course that is a real challenge to anyones short game.

Great location right on the beach.

We stayed 3 nights May 24/25/26 and had a wonderful time. The Manor House is located right on the beach with a great little Par 3 golf course. The staff was very helpfull with all of our arrangements. We dined at the Manor House for 2 nights and the food was exceptional. I can't say enough good things about our stay.

I know we stayed last september, but I still wanted to mention Fort Royal Hotel to other people. The hotel was exactly what my wife and I needed at the time. We had a very relaxing few days with wonderful food, scenery and hospitality all around. The hotel only has 15 bedrooms , so it is nice and quiet and relaxing, with the lovely beach only a few steps from the front lawn.
We had booked dinner for only our first night, but after enjoying it so much we ate the other nights of our stay also!
We will definitely return some time soon.

I can't tell you how delighted we were when we first arrived at this lovely country hotel. The staff were brilliant, the room was lovely and clean with great views over lough swilly. The food is to die for with a great choice of wine.

Really nice walks along the shore, perfect to work off dinner or breakfast. They did have a lot of facilities for tennis or golf etc, but as we were on a romantic break we didn't bother using any of them.

I can't tell you how much we would love to go back and no doubt will at some stage - even if it's just to get to taste those fantastic desserts!!
