30/09/2025: During my recent trip to Donegal, my hosts introduced me to a true hidden gem - The Shamrock Lodge🍀Nestled in the heart of town, this cozy pub is far more than a place for a pint - it’s a gathering spot where the local community comes together, stories flow as freely as the laughter, and friendships are built. What struck me most was that you don’t need to raise a glass of Irish beer to feel the spirit of the place - the warmth, camaraderie, and hospitality embrace you the moment you step inside. If you ever find yourself in Donegal, don’t miss this little haven. A heart, heritage, and a true Irish welcome! Here’s to new friends, timeless traditions, and finding community wherever you go. #Donegal#ShamrockLodge#IrishHospitality#FromIndiaToIreland#HiddenGem#GlobalFriendship #FromIndiaWithLove

20/08/2025: Lovely pub with lots of seating, great history and energy. Loved our time for a wee drink.

13/09/2025: Loved it, especially the pizza available at the back which you can eat inside. The pub itself is old and full of those interesting trinkets and signs made famous in Irish pubs. A little bit touristy but that's ok.

09/07/2025: A lovely local bar, a few minutes walk from the nearby hotel. Worth stopping by.

13/10/2025: Great view perfect place for a steak

12/10/2025: The staff at the hotel and restaurant were extremely welcoming and helpful. My room was comfortable and very clean. The food and service were excellent. Both front desk employees I encountered were very nice and went above and beyond to help me. I will definitely stay here again during my next trip to Ireland.

20/08/2025: We stayed in the rooms above the bar and they are so clean and fresh. Great value

16/08/2025: I stayed here for a day and the room was well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The location is right in the town, which makes it very convenient, though parking can be a bit difficult to find. The property is situated right above a pub, so you may hear some noise depending on the time of day, but it also means you’re close to food and drinks. Overall, it’s a handy spot for a short stay in town.

06/10/2025: Brilliant place to eat and drink people are brilliant 👏

21/09/2025: Great location, great breakfast, and a very comfortable bed and peaceful nights sleep, really nice people to stay with, and a spectacular beach, I just can't wait to go back.

23/10/2025: We did a private dinner there with my family really good food and service.

25/09/2025: Great entertainment for all ages and abilities.

06/08/2025: Great food and staff. Beautiful location.

20/07/2025: The Cosy Cottage is a favourite spot for food in my family, I also love the pastries, especially the Brownies. Would highly recommend going here for a quick bite if your hungry!

25/10/2024: Excellent meal & excellent service. I ordered a rare steak & wow I’m a steak lover but this was exceptional. Salad, baby potatoes, sautéed onions along with a glass of Merlot. I don’t often eat alone but was made to feel very welcome & comfortable. Unable to finish meal but have lunch sorted for tomorrow! Top class, thank you to the chef Gregory and waiting staff. A special thanks to Silvane, she has the X factor!

21/10/2024: This was an unbelievably very good restaurant. Heading into winter on the West Coast of Ireland, the food, the service, and the atmosphere including the playlist was simply sublime. I’m not being paid to write this review, but it was probably one of the best meals I have eaten out in a very long time. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavour; from the steak to the asparagus to the potatoes, bread and peppercorn sauce I don’t think I have tasted better.

20/10/2025: Service is terrible! Was in at 11:15am 20 October Seated for 15 minutes no one came near me! Not ever to ask about drinks! Luckily I was able to go across to mr chippie and had my order placed within 5 mins! Used to be good in there before new owners have taken it over! Was late returning to work because of this! Won’t be back with service like that

02/10/2025: Quick and efficient service coupled with knowledgeable serving staff who go the extra mile. Always pop in when I’m that neck of the woods.

07/10/2025: Very nice restaurant. Enough space. Nice decoration and friendly waitresses. Food was very good. I can clearly recommend this place.

06/10/2025: My favorite town in all of ireland. this restaurant was great ! Food /service/ atmosphere was all great ! I will be back !
