We stayed in a Deluxe Room in this Guesthouse and found it very comfortable. Lots of hot water and clean towels whenever needed. Tea making facilities in room which was great. Breakfast was very nice a cold buffet, fruit juices, cereals, fruit compotes, natural yogurt, dried fruits, breads and following a choice of a cooked breakfast - Irish with toast and a couple of other hot options. The cooked breakfast was excellent, one of the best Irish Breakfasts we have had. Hot coffee, tea or herbal teas if wanted. We were just escaping from the office for a few days and the stay was fine.
I personally have to say the photos on the website are a little misleading.. the house is not so cosy as depicted and a little dark inside and could do with a few more personal touches, but just my opinion, many others from reviews found it fine. The landlady very helpful and not imposing in any way.. just there if you needed her for anything, directions, advice about places to eat or see etc.
The house outside especially needs some attention. On arriving a bit bleak and it is situated on a main road... we were in a room at the back so no noise but would not have liked to be looking out onto the car park and main bye pass road into Donegal Town. The garden and surrounds could do with some brightening up, no flowers, not even any pretty pots or plantars to brighten up the grey stone and tarmac just concrete everywhere so not very inviting as I said a little "dark".
The rooms don't appear to be sound proof and you could hear very easily from the corridors and also in the next rooms, we had this one night and were glad it was our last night ... a crying baby or some lively children or someone with a few drinks too many and it would have been a night which would result in lack of sleep!
I have nothing very bad to say about Donegal Manor and would not say don't stay there, but also I would not say to my friends to stay there, just something lacking ...a rather dead place and no I don't think we would stay there again... don't be deceived by the web pictures of the rooms!
