This was our second visit to the Innishowen Gateway and found it still represents great value for money.

My wife and I have just returned from a three night stay.The hotel is well maintained with spacious,clean rooms.Ours overlooked Lough Swilly and the golf course. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent..they know how to cook fish. I recommend the salmon lubricated with a pint of Guinness.

We spent an hour each morning in the pool, staff were friendly and helpful and pool area was clean. There is a small kids pool for our wee one... More

I stayed at this hotel for three nights this week with my Wife and two kids. Check-in was a breeze and very friendly, and both of our kids got a complementary Easter egg which was a nice touch.
