Second time we’ve been here and both visits have been absolutely outstanding. The food is honestly the best I’ve had in five years living in Ireland. The service is great and the atmosphere is wonderful. One side of us, three generations from granddad to toddler, the other side a courting couple too young to buy alcohol, further down it was someone’s birthday and everyone in the place joined in with the song. I’m usually a miserable git but I was caught up in this Donegal friendliness. It was just brilliant. On the more practical side. The absolute star of the show is the cheesy garlic potato gratin side dish. Don’t come here and not have that! The meal came to €70 with a snipe of Prosecco, a glass of good red wine, two mains and one pudding. Incredible value for the quality of food and service. Thank you.

17/06/2026: This Hotel was absolutely outstanding, in a class of it's own. Seriously to die for. The rooms are beautiful set out. The restaurant with as the oak furniture was so tastefully decorated, it's own little coffee shop. The staff were a pleasure to be around. The Highlands Hotel just kept giving and giving. The food was outstanding, my favourite meal there was the mussels in a tomato and herb sauce. The bar manager Tuffer (Christopher) was superb add to to the organisation, a very knowledgeable chap who knows how to run a bar with ease. I would visit the Highlands in a heartbeat and will be going again soon, very soon. Glenties the town is a biscuit tin town. Idyllic with the most beautiful views that stop you in your tracks to take it all in. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
