Good hotel

8.0

We stayed in the Inishowen Gateway in early August for the first time. The reception was very nice open welcoming space. Th staff were extremely helpful and friendly and it was all very efficient. The room was clean and comfortable overlooking Buncranagh golf Course and the sea, lovely views and very quiet and peaceful. The leisure centre was excellent and much bigger than I expected. We chose to eat in the bar and on reflection the dining room would have been much better. All of the staff were extremely pleasant and friendly, but it was a bit chaotic. The kitchen seemed a distance away and staff arrived the bar with trays of food and seemed to have no idea who it was for. They went from table to table asking what people ordered. We ordered the turkey and ham which was just ok. It was served with roast potatoes, but it seemed the potatoes were only in the oven for 30 seconds, greasy and not crispy at all, just white greasy potatoes. not good for a professional kitchen. Despite plenty of staff it was difficult to get their attention, I asked for our bill 3 times and eventually went up to the bar to get it. Breakfast was served in the dining room and it was excellent. Overall, it is a nice hotel and staff are super friendly and good facilities. I would go back.

Room, staff and leisure centre all excellent

Main bar was not open and a bar down the corridor at the front of the hotel was in use. Therefore there were no views

Lovely hotel, very comfortable and family room was just that! Fit for a family. Roomy, comfortable and clean. Perfect!

Never had been there before so was unsure of the restaurants and where to go, asked to book in for dinner but nobody explained at reception that there were 2 options. Bar grub or fancy restaurant. We got fany restaurant but would've liked more casual dining.

My wife is slightly incapacitated, reception had originally booked us into a first floor room, upon seeing my wife he changed it to a ground floor room with appropiate fittings. We had not asked for the change.

Good to know

Guests are kindly asked to book at reception to go golfing.

During quieter months the Peninsula Restaurant may be closed and dinner served in Lough View Bar.

A deposit may be required at the property.
