Stayed in the Abbey Hotel last month. The hotel is in the most central location possible. We booked 1 night b&b with an evening meal. The evening meal was served in the front market house restaurant and was very good. Breakfast was one of the best Irish breakfasts I've had and the choice was good. There was a band playing... More

However, I did stay there recently for two nights on their special offer and what a surprise. The staff were lovely, so helpful. When you step inside the hotel reception... More

The breakfast is excellent and not rushed, you have untill 10 am to turn up for it and you can eat as much cereal and... More

We ate in the restaurant on the Sunday before Valentine's night. There was a special offer for €50 for two 3-course meals and a bottle of wine. The wine was very good and the food was excellent and included duck and steak as well as many other choices. The desert selection was buffet style and god a second visit! Would... More

I travel to all parts of Ireland on business and can safely say that the Abbey offers possibly the best value for money in Ireland. So much so that I try to plan my visits so as I can end up staying in Donegal!!! What you have to bear in mind (having read the reviews) is that you will not... More

A real mixed bag here & let me just say from the start that I was attending a very large wedding reception which may have had a bearing on certain aspects of my stay. I arrived to find the very limited hotel parking was already taken & so I had to park at the nearby public car park at the... More
