    spacious room
    amazing breakfast
    limited tea options

    We were so impressed by the spacious and clean room and the amazing breakfast with tons of options. The garden area was a perfect spot to unwind, and the cozy lounge made our evenings super relaxing. Just a small note, having a few more herbal tea choices in the room would be nice! 🌿

    excellent food

    Families looking for a great getaway

    The staff helped us keep our surprise party hidden until the big reveal — priceless! Plus, the food in the Blas was superb, everything cooked to perfection.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but given the service, it was still reasonable.

    great location
    friendly staff
    room warmth
    lack of bar

    The Gateway Lodge offered great comfort during my stay. The rooms felt spacious, and the beds were really comfortable. I loved the charming decor, which gave a nice touch to the atmosphere. The breakfast exceeded expectations with a variety of freshly made options. Location couldn't be better, with easy access to Donegal town and surrounding attractions. However, the room temperature ran a bit warm at night, which affected sleep quality. Also, there’s no bar on site, which can be a downside for relaxation after a day of exploring. Would appreciate if they added some more areas to unwind around the hotel.

    The stay was enjoyable, especially since we were exploring the nearby attractions like Donegal Castle and the town center. The breakfast spread was impressive with plenty of freshly made options that kept us fueled for our daily adventures.
