For my first couple reviews in the 100's- I'm going to return to my favorite place on Earth-…read moreIreland and build up some of their places. My first Irish wedding experience was in the little town of Milford, Co. Donegal. It's really hard to enjoy an American wedding after witinessing an affair the Irish put on! The Milford Inn was a beatufiul venue. The food was top notch ( I had Salmon). The service was great and they do not stand in the way of letting you have a good time! After a long reception filled with Irish dancing, a dj, late night snacks and plenty of booze, we continued the party in the lobby of the hotel. Our friends played the tunes as everyone continued to mingle. I must say I've never walked out of a wedding venue as the sun was coming up! By far the best wedding experience of my time. I would be happy to return to the Milford Inn anytime.

Very nice, classy hotel in the center of Derry…read more I came on a tour and was offered a class of Prosecco from the check in clerk ( which was an unexpected treat). Our room was air conditioned ( not all in Ireland are) and we were served well by the bartender in the evening and for breakfast. They had a nice selection of breakfast options including salmon and scrambled eggs. Good coffee, fine linens, overall a place I would return to.

We loved the accommodations at Shipquay during our stay there in Derry. Given its location within…read morethe City Walls, the Shipquay is ideal for enjoying your time in Derry. The Shipquay is located in a gorgeous Italianate-style-listed heritage building that comprises a wealth of magnificent boutique hotel rooms. Our Superior Double Room had a beautiful and comfortable king-sized bed that was stylish and sophisticated. We enjoyed the amenities, such as the walk-in shower and the castiron tub that my wife and I loved immensely. They had complimentary WiFi and robes and slippers for us to wear in the morning and at night that was quite comfortable. The restaurant on the lobby floor provided us with delicious eats for breakfast and dinner, with refreshing and tasty cocktails, all in a stylish and contemporary interior that was our speed. The hotel is close to everything for site seeing and visiting attractions. There are tons of restaurants and bars within walking distance to enjoy. And if you want to stay indoors for the night, you have the restaurant and bar or speakeasy that's on-site. There are shopping centers everywhere, including one next store if you need to pick up some clothes, souvenirs, or just want to take a gander through. Overall, this is the place to stay when in Derry, and we will do so again upon our next one.

Nobody else at the bar, I was not disturbing anyone till the obviously stressed out barman told me I cannot watch a movie at the bar "this is not a cinema' then said in his opinion I had enough drink, this was 9:30pm, there was a wedding going on! He had just served me an espresso martini and another glass of wine! Im a solo woman doing my thing, engaging in socialising in a public place and he made me feel so unwelcome even though I was booked in for the night. Turns out he is the proprietor. To intimidate a woman on her own who is not bothering anyone nor has any intention to, I find this highly offensive to any solo travellers out there. If you're in the Silver Tassie make sure u don't make conversation with the locals or u will be considered.......... I'm actually not sure what I was judged as being.... Good job I brought a bottle of me own!

Staff are great, food is disappointing. Im coming up to Donegal for 27 years. When i eat somewhere…read morei expect the food to be better than something i can cook at home, im a commis chef and I've worked in one of Dublin's best restaurant's, so although im not an expert i know a quality meal when i see one and you just don't always get that here. Most of the staff are: great, very approachable and down to earth, bar one or two who remind me of undertaker's. You want a good steak, you'll get a good steak, but whenever I've ordered anything else its been really poor quality; I was there in February and i thought id try their pizza, because i usually get a steak there, the pizza comes out about 10 minute's later and I'ts honestly the worst pizza i have ever eaten im my life, it even looked bad with zero flavor and really low quality dough, so dry and barely any sauce; I've had much better frozen pizza's, in fact it was probably frozen. They have about 2 or 3 tv's in the place and they're always turned up really loud when all you want to do is just relax and unwind and enjoy a conversation with your family. A bit more flare, passion and enthusiasm wouldn't go a miss in their kitchen.

Forget your Kerrys and Connemaras, when it comes to wild, rugged beauty, you cannot beat Donegal. Not only that the people here are so incredibly nice. Not least the owner of the Cois Farraige/Cois Daire cottages in Rathmullan. Siobhan was fantastic to deal with and both cottages were very reasonably priced, given how well they are kitted out. There were large flat screen tvs, good quality coffee machines and all of the rest mod cons. Siobhan has left lots of great material to work out the best activities to do here. Hiking is recommended and the stunning Glenveigh national park is nearby. High quality restaurants are within waking distance (Rathmullan house) and the pristine beach is yards away. Go off the beaten track, rain or shine, and treat yourself to a little piece of heaven in Donegal. (PS if you get the chance try to visit Tramore beach hidden away in Dunfanaghy. The most beautiful beach I have ever seen).

It was transformed into a 20-room hotel in 1991 by Patsy O'Kane and her brother, Seamus Donnelly. Ten more rooms were added in 2000. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The room we stayed in contained a king bed that seemed 50 percent wider than a standard king. Staff members were friendly and the hotel Ardmore restaurant served excellent food in a fine dining atmosphere. The hotel is located on a quiet road off a major highway on the east side of Derry and contains several acres of trees and walking paths. I highly recommend it.

I had booked Beech Hill Country House which is a stunning Georgian house, with 30 bedrooms and suites, based at Ardmore Road. I had booked a classic double room for my mum and a superior room (as it included both a king size as well as a single bed) for my sister and I, but on arrival were delighted to receive two superior rooms beside each other with adjoining door! A lovely touch. The rooms were huge, warm and comfortable and we were looking forward to relaxing in them later that evening. (I later found out that each room in the hotel looks different as they have all been individually restored, so different décor, paints, fabrics etc) But before we relaxed in our rooms, it was down to the bar for a few drinks and dinner! It was a cold evening so we parked up right in front of the fire- bliss! In fact, we didn't leave and decided to have our dinner right there. The Beech Hill is famed for its food and a number of people remarked to me that I would enjoy it when I mentioned I was staying there. The next morning we went down for breakfast and were impressed with both the cooked and continental selection- with all three of us having a bit of both! After breakfast, we walked round and explored the grounds. The hotel has different trials, with 32 acres of woodland and gardens. During our walk I was so impressed to learn about the history of the site. In June 1941, the United States constructed a naval base on the Foyle, named 'Base One Europe'. It remained the US Navy's main centre of operations in Europe until June 1944. The Beech Hill Country House Hotel provided the location for one the main accommodation camps and we couldn't believe a hut was still in place. Fascinating! Overall I had a brilliant night, particularly the comfortable rooms and amazing history
