Last visited this hotel, which sits close to the Moy river, the best salmon river in western Europe, in 2008.

We stayed at this hotel on weekend of April 5th. From the start we found it lovely. The room was really spacious and comfortable. The breakfast each morning was very good . We had dinner on one evening and it was absolutely delicious. We found the staff extremely friendly and pleasant. I look forward to visiting this hotel again soon.
