Hotel was comfortable. ##### Patrick Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chu Mar 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Motel by the lake Lovely newly renovated motel like standard because room size is a little tight but excellent views of the lake. Self check in and out went fine. Would definitely stay here again.

Room was warm clean and comfortable with adequate space for a two night stay. Rathmullan within walking distance. On site restaurant was good as was breakfast at Belle’s in Rathmullan. Perfect for visit to Fanad lighthouse. More like a room in an Airbnb with no on site hotel reception or public space other than the bar/ restaurant. But check in system worked ok. ![Fanad Lighthouse](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc64967d-7538-4ac2-b265-59beab06a443-1750597512344.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Abbey in Rathmullan](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b24ba81-c520-4e83-a6fb-53786c4992d8-1750597511488.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/24bb89a3-825d-45a4-950d-1701df04078c-1750597511565.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joseph Brian Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sviatlana Aug 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awesome place.

Pint of Guinness cost me 6.40euro eventhough price in book stated it was 5.90euro Shower in room had hardly any pressure ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Shelley Sep 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Check in very easy, clean room, lovely location with view of the lough. We didn't try the restaurant but it looked good. The only thing missing was a couple of cups so we could make tea (a kettle and tea bags were provided but no cups). ##### Shelley Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Rochestown Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Douglas-Hotels-Rochestown-Park-Hotel.h45665.Hotel-Information) > - [Springlawn Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Clarinbridge-Hotels-Springlawn-Bed-And-Breakfast.h6294910.Hotel-Information) > - [Silver Birch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Silver-Birch-House.h44818059.Hotel-Information) > - [The Snuggly Sheep Shepherd Hut Campview Farm Stay](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballyshannon-Hotels-The-Snuggly-Sheep.h72294864.Hotel-Information) > - [Moore Bay Holiday Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilkee-Hotels-Moore-Bay-Holiday-Homes-18A.h58999302.Hotel-Information) > - [Fitzgerald's Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundoran-Hotels-Fitzgeralds-Hotel.h3124372.Hotel-Information) > - [Gateway Lodge Donegal](https://www.expedia.ca/Donegal-Hotels-Gateway-Lodge-Donegal.h11933518.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballingarry-Hotels-The-Mustard-Seed-At-Echo-Lodge.h5065569.Hotel-Information) > - [Wilton Hotel Bray](https://www.expedia.ca/Bray-Hotels-Wilton-Hotel-Bray.h33341287.Hotel-Information) > - [Fiddle and Bow Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Doolin-Hotels-Fiddle-And-Bow-Hotel.h38095755.Hotel-Information) > - [The Johnstown Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Enfield-Hotels-The-Johnstown-Estate.h906965.Hotel-Information) > - [Tara View Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Rathfeigh-Hotels-Tara-View-Apartments.h21198270.Hotel-Information) > - [The River's Edge Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Killorglin-Hotels-The-Rivers-Edge-Guest-House.h37896728.Hotel-Information) > - [Carrygerry Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Shannon-Hotels-Carrygerry-Country-House.h1768096.Hotel-Information) > - [Charming, Modern Masonette in Fermoy River Town.
