ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Enjoying a delightful location on the shores of Lough Swilly, the
Inishowen Gateway Hotel commands picturesque views of the sea and
strand below. The hotel has a modern and elegant facade, yet manages
to capture the graciousness of yesteryear and a certain old world
charm. Located on the outskirts of the town of Buncrana, guests
can enjoy the convenience of a commercial town with the added bonus
of proximity to the countryside.
The spacious foyer is bright and attractively
furnished and the hotel bar provides a relaxing atmosphere for
drinks and cocktails. The well-appointed guestrooms are elegantly
furnished, while all are en-suite and equipped with every modern
amenity. Dine in elegance at the hotel's restaurant, which overlooks
nearby Buncrana golf course and offers some of the finest food
in Donegal. Guests may exercise using the most modern equipment
in the fitness suite, enjoy a swim in the 20 metre pool, ease
away tensions in the sauna, steam room and solarium or take the
time to slowly unwind in the Jacuzzi at the end of a day's activity.
Donegal has preserved its Gaelic culture and
language longer than most places. Today, that language and culture
remains strong in an extensive Gaeltacht area stretching from
Fanad Head to Slieve League. Known locally as 'Ireland's Paradise',
Buncrana is often referred to as the "Gateway to Inishowen".
The country's most northerly region, Inishowen has a wild beauty,
wonderful scenery and a rugged coastline simply perfect for sightseeing.
The banks of the Crana River, famous for its salmon fishing in
season, is an ideal location for scenic walks, while you can enjoy
a journey through bygone days, when visiting the Vintage Car Museum
in Buncrana, which displays an impressive collection of vintage
cars, Victorian bicycles, model car and railway collections and
other items of historical transport.
