The Dundonnell Hotel

Review by hotel critic

Nestled in a serene setting away from the usual tourist bustle, the Dundonnell offers a refreshing gourmet escape that I found both delightful and invigorating. The ambiance in the Broombeg Bar is charming, particularly on an evening graced with live music, which enhances the overall experience without overwhelming the senses. Having explored the stunning local walks, I was eager to unwind. The restaurant presents a daily changing menu that showcases locally sourced seafood, promising an authentic taste of the area's culinary scene. While I generally lean towards comfort food, I opted for the continental breakfast—an exquisite start to the day that included both traditional options and a selection of pastries. Although my meal choices were limited due to my palate's preferences, I appreciated the creativity behind the dishes. The hospitality from the staff was remarkable; they were attentive without being intrusive, adding warmth to my stay. The hotel also boasts wonderful views that complement its tranquil environment. For those looking to indulge in an innovative dining experience amidst captivating landscapes, the Dundonnell could prove a memorable choice. I left feeling nourished, both in body and spirit.
