The Harbour Inn, hotel in Buncrana

Just 3 minutes' walk from the beach in Buncrana, The Harbour Inn sits on a hillside overlooking the sandy beaches of Lough Swilly.

Girlie trip away & Stayed in the triple bed room. A few stairs to climb with baggage which was manageable. No lift so could pose issues if mobility not good. Rooms spotless and theeee most comfy bed I have EVER stayed in away from home. Restaurant on site and very busy, so advance booking advisable. Food & service very good. Overnight stay and restaurant prices very good value.

Inishowen Gateway Hotel, hotel in Buncrana

Situated in picturesque Buncrana, The Inishowen Gateway Hotel offers a luxury spa, a 20-metre pool, and a modern Irish restaurant.

The room was so much nicer than I was expecting. Was very clean and spacious. The whole hotel smelled very nice, even the toilets downstairs were immaculate. The bar food was delicious, the staff were lovely and the drinks were very nice. Good entertainment on Sunday night. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in the hotel and can't wait to come back.

St Columbs House, hotel in Buncrana

Boasting a garden and views of sea, St Columbs House is a bed and breakfast set in a historic building in Buncrana, 1.6 km from Buncrana Beach.

This property was in a great location, close to town and to the beach. Private onsite parking was also handy. The host, I guess his name is Brian from the other reviews as he didn't introduce himself, was friendly and helpful.

    The hotel is a bit out of the town centre, but perfectly fine for car drivers - once you get used to the multi level one way system! Buncrana is well placed for touring North Donegal County and visiting Derry/Londonderry City nearby in N. Ireland, to where there are no travel or border restrictions. Thought the local ferries were a bit expensive for cars. The local attraction "Wild Ireland" situated near Burnfoot was well worth a visit. And a visit to Ireland's most northerly point, Malin Head, is a "must do" too. Be advised that the famous Slieve League Cliffs are over 100km from Buncrana.

    The house was ideal for a large family group.

    The house was ideal for a large family group. There were plenty of baths and showers in the house. The house has a great view. Apart form a few very minor things we were very satisfied. There is beautiful countryside, excellent beaches, and places of historical interest within easy reach of Buncrana.

    A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit.

    A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit. We didn't visit the museum but did some of the walks which were spectacular. We also ate in the little cafe on site which was very good indeed. Coffee in particular! Buncrana town is lovely, plenty of shops, bars and cafes. Its a one way drive system. We ate at Tank and Skinnys - just coffee and cake, but the food going to other tables looked delicious - we'll definitely be back.

    We are a family of 7 and were in Bucrana at the end of June to explore the surrounding delights and stayed in the 5 star WAW Seaview apt. The apartment is brilliant and has everything you need to make your stay wonderful. It is very clean and the facilities are topnotch. Clodagh who is the host is brilliant and gave us wonderful tips on how to explore the sites around Bucrana. We'll be back.

    The actual facilities were exceptionally good and the views over Lough Swilly and the hills around Buncrana were amazing. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They served a wide ranging breakfast that was hearty and generous. The bedrooms are very large and more than adequate for the average family.
