Five of us stayed for one night at Bank Holiday weekend. Great welcome on arrival from very helpful staff. Excellent accommodation in a massive bedroom with all amenities. Enjoyed a really quiet night rest followed by an excellent breakfast in the morning served by very pleasant staff. Real value for money and no problem recommending the Harbour Inn.

We stayed in the Harbour inn for the weekend. The rooms were top notch, the staff were friendly and the food was very good. Special offer of meal for 2 with a bottle of house wine for 45.00 Euro. Good choice of meals. Breakfast was great and again staff were friendly and helpful. Reccomend a stay if your around Inishowen.

Six of us on this trip were pleasantly surprised with the ample space and additional beds in all of the rooms.Staff were so pleasant and helpful throughout our stay and in true Donegal tradition 'nothing is a bother' Value for money , would have no problem recommending the Harbour to similar size golfing groups.

The hotel is a bit far from the city center for walkers. There is a nice beach just across the road. Scenery is great. The room was huge, comfortable and tidy. Restaurant and pub is good and the staff is also very helpful.

Sampled the early bird menu at The Harbour Inn recently. It was great value for money at €12.95 for two courses & three for €15.95. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived & we were delighted to get a table beside the open fire, very cosy. I had the Bruschetta starter which was cooked with fresh ingredients & lasagne....
