Delightful Stay at Harbour Inn, Buncrana, Donegal
During many past visits to Buncrana, I often passed by the Harbour Inn but never stayed until now. I'm pleased to say the experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment I checked in until the time I departed, the staff, including Mary at the reception and Sinead during check-out, were exceptional. An unexpected incident occurred when one of my sons accidentally locked himself in the bathroom. The swift response from the wonderful staff to resolve the situation was truly commendable. They promptly arranged for assistance, ensuring minimal distress. Dining at the hotel is a popular choice, and it can become quite crowded. Heeding the advice to make a reservation was beneficial, leading to a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. Overall, the Harbour Inn provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, matched by attentive and friendly service. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. It’s not just a place to stay but a delightful part of the Buncrana experience.

Fabulous first impression! Not only was check-in easy, but Sinead and Kathleen are both angels! My husband was having a medical issue and they both flew to the rescue in getting us assistance and eventually an ambulance. It wasn't the way we expected the day to unfold, but it shows the first-class character and compassion for guests embodied by staff at Harbour Inn. The property is wonderful too!

The Harbour Inn was very nice but what made it exceptional was the kindness of one of the employees. Our taxi had not shown up and they were concerned we would lose our table at the restaurant. One of the employees was on their way home and offered to take us. She went out of her way to drive us into town! Thank you!

Excellent property. Needs security on ground floor windows so that they can be left partly open for ventilation and not alow access to intruders during the night.

Great Location
We were staying in town for a wedding. Hotel is a great location for nearby ‘attractions’ e.g. beach visits, waterfalls. Buncrana had things to do too such as Swan Park. Room was suitable and quite spacious. Cot for baby was perfect and a bath was also ideal. A fridge would have made the room even better. Didn’t have a view except of the kitchen door and bins (was a bit noisy when they were washing up but we closed the windows). Perfect hotel for convenience. Staff was exceptionally helpful and very accommodating from check in staff, breakfast staff and servers and cleaners.
