    Very little really, only that the early morning traffic was a little intrusive at times.

    The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was amazing. The room was clean, cleaned daily, and everything we needed was there and it all worked perfectly. There was plenty of parking. The location was ideal for our sightseeing trips and there was even a lift for my brother who has mobility issues.

    Unfortunately Winter started on the weekend we arrived and it was bitterly cold. The room was also very cold when we got there and did not warm up for some hours. The same was true the second evening

    Everyone was very friendly and the food was really great.

    The wooden floors in the rooms made other rooms and ours very noisy maybe a rug I can understand the hygienic idea in saying that

    The staff were excellent couldn't fault anything about them. So helpfull and polite they couldn't do enough for us. It's a great staging point if you're exploring and our breakfast was delicious. The hotel is spotless loved the Halloween decorations we visited bankholiday weekend. We even went to were the shop was that sold the hotel the decorations because we were given directions from the lovely woman at reception.

    The Highlands Hotel was easy to find with plenty of on street parking as well as a lot. So much character in this hotel! Our room was the Junior Suite which was immaculate, huge and comfortable. It provided a sitting area for us to relax and discuss our next day’s plans. We enjoyed our dinner in the dining room, and it was very popular with members of the community which is always a good sign. Breakfast is served in a bright and cozy room with many delicious options. It was a delightful stay and I would highly recommend this hotel.

    A gem of a hotel. It was clean, nicer decorated, and the breakfast was very hearty. Even though the property was right in the heart of town, it was quiet and did not affect my sleep.

    Can't think of anything Don"t forget to bring a shower cap.

    Loved this Hotel, staff were welcoming efficient and friendly. Breakfast was served with a smile. I did not have an evening meal there but what I seen looked very well presented. I loved the decor even down to the beautiful radiators in the public areas, it fits in very well with the rural landscape of the surrounding area. The room decor is also bright cheerful and well laid out, bathroom was well decorated with a very good power shower with lashings of hot water. Nothing cheap about the decor, lovely quality curtains and bedlinnen, luxury white towels, shower gel soap & shampoo all supplies. Bottles of water in the room are a nice touch and a good selection of tea & coffee supplied with kettle were appreciated. Breakfast choices are good a nice selection of hot food served with large pots of tea or coffee. Best thing about this hotel for me was the location, I found it very good as a base to explore the beautiful county of Donegal. I also found it a very safe place to stay as a solo traveller.I will definately return.

    Filter coffee, but that's not a deal breaker for anyone, just didn't like the taste.

    Breakfast was fresh and filling.
