Fanad / Lough Swilly

Zola.

Thinking about going to Donegal for a night or two

Has anyone been up around Fanad / Lough Swilly?

Check out Rathmullan

Robothell

It's a beautiful part of the world with great restaurants and pubs, astounding scenery and friendly people. Rathmullan is further away and a bit more touristy - lots of people from Belfast have holiday homes there.

Bump!

I didnt get going last year, but thinking about going up there in mid April. Rathmullan looks nice, but bit pricey. Does anyone have any suggestions for someonwhere that is nice but not £220+ a night?

Avoid Easter week, thats seems to be the problem, a 2 night stay at most Donegal hotels on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th comes to about £150 for 2 people for 2 nights, including breakfast and some even do 1 evening meal and health club facilities too for that price.

You could do worse than try Mulroy Woods Hotel, more reasonable price bracket. Recently refurbished and name changed. https://www.booking.com/hotel/ie/milford-inn.en-gb.html?aid=356930;label=metagha-link-localuniversalGB-hotel-40252_dev-desktop_los-1_bw-12_dow-Sunday_defdate-1_room-0_lang-en_curr-GBP;sid=8acfa5e9c2952243113d437d9e298f1b;checkin=2017-04-23;checkout=2017-04-24;ucfs=1;highlighted_blocks=4025201_99117363_2_41_0;all_sr_blocks=4025201_99117363_2_41_0;room1=A%2CA;hpos=1;dest_type=city;dest_id=-1504517;srfid=e25778634c79b5b5befe8e8551c033f74cc0f0feX1;from=searchresults;highlight_room=#hotelTmpl

Well don't dare take your kids out of school in term time, like that man from Coleraine.
Is he a brother of ex NI goalkeeper Jim Platt by chance?

Sorry just seen your thread, Mulroy Woods is great, they are on Groupon quite a bit, going again soon for a 3 night break, it was £119 for B&B for two with a 10 euro food voucher each.

Yes. Several times. Nice when it's nice.
