Have never been before and looking for Hotel break suggestions and recommendations for two nights Sun/Mon ideally..........:cool:

I'd recommend The Kees Hotel in Ballybofey. They usually do deals for sunday/monday.

I wouldn't be going to Donegal at present TBH:eek: Euro rate is muck:o

I had a nice mid week break in Enniskillen last year with the OH at the Manor House Hotel on Lough Erne, very reasonable for 2 nights B&B and 1 evening meal package, full use of swimming pool, sauna etc.... too in that price.

Lovely part of the country as well despite the weather:rotfl:

Do you mean the county or Donegal town?

If it is the county I would stay clear of Bundoran. It is a dump. If you still must go, definitely avoid the Great Northern. If it is a four star hotel I will eat my hat. If they can call themselves a four star hotel, then my house must be five star.

I second Kees Hotel. We stayed there last year in Feb and it was really nice. But as Steveymp says the Euro rate is currently the downside.

You could take a big van loaded with alcohol with you and fund your trip that way:D save them poor Donegal ones having to rape and pillage our supermarkets for it:D

Jacksons hotel in Ballybofey too is very nice, check out http://jacksons-hotel.ie/index.php very friendly wee place;) I see they have Easter offers on too.

Not that I'm aware of Cate its been a year or so since I was last there thou, but it is a family owned and run Hotel, not part of a big chain or anything, you could be right, but I hope not:o

I have heard that Jacksons is closing down, reasonably reliable source
