My wife and I enjoyed a three day stay 17th - 20th May.
We stayed in a twin room (148) on the first floor. The room was very clean and spacious with plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. We stayed on a B&B basis, but we also ate in the bar in the evenings. The breakfast was a buffet affair, but the food was fresh and very tasty. The bar menu in the evenings was the same each night with a limited selection, but again the food was very tasty and reasonable.
The staff in all areas were attentive and very friendly.
We had 1 issue with a leaking electric kettle, but when we reported it, it was replaced within the hour.

Had a lovely weekend here, the room was just ok, needed a bit of attention in places, safe didnt work, sink badly cracked and constant clicking noise coming from somewhere. What made the weekend was the staff from the lovely Sinead in housekeeping and the fantastic staff in Forges bar where the food was absolutely superb, do good we ate here both nights.

We have stayed at the villa rose and Jackson’s multiple times. We got at least 6-7 times per year. Staff are always warm welcoming and go out of their way to make sure we have a great stay. The rooms are beautiful and exceptionally clean. The food in the forge bar is excellent both for adults and kids. Our kids love the pool in Jackson’s and I love the spa in the v spa which is in the villa rose. The treatments I have received there are second to none I have had spa treatments all over the world and would definitely rate the v spa in the top 3. We can not wait until our next stay. ❤️

All ok but wanted to check out later as elderly mum couldn't sleep, the receptionist was reluctant to accommodate us, that is fine but be nice please, just a little empathy would have been great.
Moved to Jacksons,staff were absolutely amazing. Bojo at reception was exceptional.

Weekend away in Ballybofey.
Two night stay. Lovely room. A little noisy from children across the hall.
We had one meal in hotel which was very good. Staff were very helpful especially on the Saturday night when we had booked a local Indian only to be overbooked. We got back to the hotel and restaurant had closed, but a lovely young lad got us sandwiches and chips off his own bat.

Was ok
The staff were nice. Dinner was good. Our room was not worth what I paid. It was very dated and not at all sound proof. Not sure what was situated underneath but it sounded like a huge speaker was blasting music. The breakfast was not worth 15 euro each. The pastries tasted days old and the hot food was just ok.

Room was extremely warm with no aircon.
Plumbing system kept us up all night as whenever any room near us flushed a toilet, it caused a 60 second fighter jet sound in our room.
Doors at the end of corridor and in room next to us lacked a soft close - instead they slammed shut and at all hours of the night which led to 2 sleepless nights.
Asked for a mud treatment at 4pm and was practically laughed by 3 staff members at the reception saying the spa closed at 5pm and there was ‘no chance’ even though it was vacant for our entire spa visit.
I did receive a great Swedish massage from Naiomi.
Over all, very poor. Unfortuantly will not return.
