Excellent hotel.

Review of The Harbour Inn
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Mar 2024
We got a fantastic welcome at The Harbour Inn, the staff are to a person friendly and extremely happy to pass on their local knowledge. The hotel is clean, comfortable and perfectly located for touring this wonderful Donegal peninsula. The food in The Harbour Bar is excellent, with live music on Saturdays, and prices that won't break the bank. Highly recommended.

    Excellent experience, good facilities, fabulous location, great food and very friendly and helpful staff. 30 of us travelled for a football match and the hotel and staff could not have done more to make us feel welcome. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, I would highly recommend the Harbour in experience!!

    I spent a weekend here as part of a large group attending the Derry International Choral Festival. The rooms were spotless, large, comfortable. We had a fixed price dinner menu as part of the package which was excellently priced and good food, and the staff were friendly and accommodating especially Sinéad who checked us in
