02/08/2025: Best papa and supermacs lovely outstanding staff go the extra mile

26/07/2025: fantastic food and service. apart of waiting times for food everything was just great

10/07/2025: We stopped at this lovely spot on our little road trip around the Atlantic way, it was a brilliant find. It looked so interesting from outside. The purple building with the craft stall, and sign with frieda kahla. We had two dogs with us and we were allowed to sit outside with them. We were welcomed by the lovely owner, who promptly told us there were fresh scones out of the oven and she had made apple and plum cake fresh that day. We were surprised the menu was vegetarian, but it was not a problem. The food was absolutely delicious!! I got the cheese and onion panini and it had mustard and relish and was so delicious. The cake was phenomenal! I also had a mocha. And it was the best I’d had this whole week! The stall out the front sells the owners crafts, there is lovely adult and children’s clothes. I got a dress for my niece and an apron for myself. I can’t wait to go back on our yearly visit to Downings!

05/07/2025: Lovely place for a break, all home cooked, fresh food, great selection of food and a very helpful and friendly service.

26/10/2025: Shared a starter off the Specials and regretted getting only one until our generous mains arrived. No room for dessert but I'll be back another time to taste what's on offer.

25/10/2025: Great atmosphere, lovely staff,one of the best meals we've had for a long time 😋. Oysters to die for. The menu clearly states there is a service charge applied, which isn't excessive. It's also clearly written that you are under no obligation to pay it,we were also asked,as were other diners, if we were happy to,I didn't hear anyone object. If we're ever back in the area,we would definitely eat there again,or stay over if possible.

16/08/2025: Absolutely best time ever! Met several new friends and had amazing conversations and laughs!

20/04/2025: We went in here as group of 7 adults and 2 children on a Sunday. Excellent place. Service was excellent, food was lovely. Had to be nearly rolled out the door I was that full.

19/07/2025: I loved it here! It was such a welcoming atmosphere and everyone was so friendly! The food is so so good and the bartenders were extremely nice! If you’re ever in Ballyshannon I’d def recommend stopping by!

20/06/2025: Ordered wine from their website and it arrived the next day, impeccably packed with a little treat inside and a personal note. Exceptional customer service - I will definitely be purchasing again.

30/09/2025: Castle Grove Country House is my favourite Irish country home sitting on the shores of Lough Swilly in Co Donegal. You arrive a stranger and leave as a friend. The warmth of the welcome is unrivalled; the beauty of this historical home to the Sweeney family is captivating and I love to call it my home away from home. Eat here, drink here and sleep here while you experience Donegal - my favourite destination in the world.
