18/01/2026: Me and my wife booked for a night away after Xmas and was first greeted by the most friendly man on reception then went to our room and room key wouldn’t work but within 10mins sorted, went to. The bar for dinner and drinks which was absolutely gorgeous couldn’t fault anything staff were brilliant then after as the entertainment started was asked by a lovely lady if we wanted a glass of bubble for the fault with our room key which was a lovely touch, room was beautiful one complaint was too warm (not a bad complaint) lovely stay will definitely return

Marina's Cafe & Wine Bar
Donegal
27/10/2025: A very homely wee cafe. Eggs Benedict was very good and arrived very quickly. Service was friendly and fast. Couldn't ask for more at these very reasonable prices.
18/09/2025: Have a Good day everyone! Looking for a place to eat deliciously and have a great time? Everything here is simple, yet interesting, and most importantly, heartwarming! The cooks, waiters, and staff do a very difficult and routine job so that even the smallest bread crumbs taste incredible. Thank you for your hard work, which earns us respect and a desire to return again! You can bring your pets here, and you don't have to worry about anything else. Yes, you can use Aldi's parking, but that's not a minus, but rather a plus! Overall, it's a very good place. I recommend it!

Ripples, menu
Carrowkeel
07/01/2026: This was our first time in this area and restaurant. We arrived in early January so expected to be quiet, we arrived shortly after opening, very welcoming and friendly. Food was really quick and they were very attentive. Food was really good, extensive menu, particularly for someone quite fussy with food. Real home cooked style feel which we love. Definitely be back if back in the area, highly recommend.
28/10/2025: They squeezed us in at last minute, despite catering for a party of 70. No rush, no fuss. Beautiful food

Proper Street Food
Donegal
19/09/2025: I had such a great experience !
The burger was fresh and delicious, full of flavour, and the shawarma was juicy and so yummy. My son is usually very picky with food, but even he loved it .and that says a lot! The whole family enjoyed the meal. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend!
The best think I like as mom ,the kitchen and the shop is very clean, normally I do t eat outside but I really love to eat or order from here 😁
15/07/2025: Hello. We’d like to share our disappointing experience at your café. We approached a staff member (not sure if they were a cashier or a waiter) to ask about the price of the tiramisu. Unfortunately, they didn’t know and just ran off saying “one moment” — we ended up waiting for about three minutes while they were gone. Eventually, they came back and told us it was €3 for a portion of tiramisu served in a plastic container, around 200 grams.
Sadly, the dessert was very disappointing: it was hard in texture, had an overpowering smell of alcohol, and the taste was unpleasant — we couldn’t finish it and had to throw it away. Moreover, no one told us if we were allowed to sit anywhere, so we ended up eating on a worn-out bench in the shopping centre. We also had to ask for spoons separately. Overall, there was no proper service and the quality of the food was extremely poor.

The Reveller Bar

29/10/2025: A very welcoming pub with good music, pool, and darts. The people were lovely, and there were lots of young people with whom we spent the afternoon playing darts.
13/10/2025: Whilst on a driving holiday around the whole of Ireland we stopped off in Donegal & what a fabulous night we had! First we ate at the Olde Castle then we crossed the road and had a great night full of Irish Craic - it was simply the best night we had!!!
