We stayed at the Tara Hotel for 3 nights and it would be hard to fault the whole experience. The rooms are modern, clean and bright, and the service was fantastic, and the view over the harbour was lovely. We'd definitely recommend breakfast in bed one morning too.
Killybegs itself it quite quiet, but very laid back and relaxing, and everyone is very friendly...typical of Donegal really. Had a superb meal at Pier 22 one evening...I would go back just for that! The meal in the hotel restaurant was really tasty too.
Killybegs is a good location for travelling about, Ardara isn't too far, and has a bit more life about it. I'd suggest a trip to Fintra Beach...it was idyllic. Slieve League is quite impressive, but unless you fancy a bracing walk, skip the first car-park at the gate, and continue up to the top car-park.
Overall, a very enjoyable break!

The one thing about rhis hotel is that the beds were heavenly – so comfy I could not get out of bed in the morning! Room was a good enough size, plenty of wardrobe space and a nice bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The gym downstairs is quite good, small but has pretty much everything you need. Breakfast was great, you can help yourself to fresh fruit salad, mini croissants and danishes, and a range of cereals and juices. Staff come to the table and take your order for cooked breakfast which was always tasty. We had dinner in the bar most nights (mainly because there really wasn’t anywhere else to go in the town!), the food is reasonably priced and pretty good – the garlic bread and tandoori joujons are gorgeous! The bar is specious and modern with great views of the harbour and all the fishing boats docked. Hotel is a fab place to stay!

We stayed in a twin room of this hotel for one night during our cruise through Ireland and it was the best hotel throughout our journey.
Check in was easy and efficient and we were given a good sized twin room with a double bed and a single bed. The room was spotlessly clean and had all necessary amenities plus a very big balcony that had to be shared with the inhabitants of other rooms. Even though this seemed a bit odd to me in the first place, the balcony turned out to be a big plus because it offered great views on the harbour and a fleet of pretty impressive fishing vessels.
In the evening we had dinner in the hotel's bar which we found quite nice. Even though the bar does not offer the typical charme of an Irish pub it is still a very modern and attractively layouted facility which again offers good views on the harbour. The food served in the bar is far above average, but nothing really special.
Breakfast was partly self-service, a bit complicated, because it wasn't really clear in how far guests were supposed to look after themselves but also satisfying.
Check out was as easy and efficient as check in with no problems whatsoever.
The only downside of the hotel was its Internet connection. For a price of 10 € per night we were given an Interent connection that broke down every five minutes. After complaining about this in the morning the amount was deducted from our bill, so the hotel dealt with this matter professionally and efficiently.
Killybegs itself made for an interesting stay on a rainy day even though it is only a pretty small town. Nevertheless, the harbour is one of Ireland's prime fishing ports with an interesting fleet of vessels. There are also a few probably more traditional pubs and restaurants around the hotel.

We are regular visitors to this hotel as my other half's family is from the area. This is an excellent hotel with fantastic staff, the best in the area. The rooms are lovely and clean but I would recommend the ones overlooking the harbour, it's absolutely gorgeous waking up to that view! Also, the top attraction is the comfort of the rooms we have stayed in, their beds are the most comfortable hotel beds we have ever stayed in!! We always get breakfast delivered
to our room as well so much so that the staff know not to ask anymore
and give us a call in the morning before they drop it up to make sure
we're awake! Breakfast in particular is always good, even when it's being delivered up to the room. The only thing I have to fault the hotel on (and it is the smallest fault)is the lack of variety on the evening restaurant menu and sometimes the quality is not that great. This is very surprising as every other aspect of the food in this hotel is great so I don't know why they fall down in their formal dining. This is a great hotel with really friendly, local staff. It's
a great place to stay.
