I stayed at The Downings Bay Hotel 2 weeks ago and really enjoyed every aspect of my stay. The restaurant was delicious. The room was perfect. Joe the night porter was a great person to chat with in the evening at the bar after a long day. I hope I can return in the future and experience this family run hotel again.

Glorious location with a fabulous hotel. We had scones & coffee on a lovely sunny morning passing through Downings on our 🚲 🚴‍♀️ 🚵‍♂️. Sarah, Joan and all the team looked after our large group wonderfully and we look forward to returning! Great spot.

First time eating in the hotel. Not keen on the restaurant ambiance which reminded me of eating with my family in Donegal in the 1980s. Also €3/4 more expensive than any other eatery than we tried along with its immediate rival The Beach Hotel.
The food was good though l have to say. Family of 5, €105

While we did not stay at the downings bay, we ate there. It was absolutely delicious. 2 adults and a toddler. 3 courses for 29.50 euro which was their thursday supper club menu, with a glass of wine included. Really tasty, serving sizes spot-on, quick service and really attentive staff. I had crab claws to start, duck main, lemon tartlet. Would definitely return.

This is a superb hotel with large clean rooms, top class food, top class service and I would jump at the chance to stay here again. I hope to get back again soon.
The location and surrounding area is beautiful and a visit to Portsalon a must.
They could not do enough for us in the hotel and we got 5 star treatment all the week. 10/10.
