Inishowen Gateway

This large, modern hotel is a particularly appealing choice for families. It overlooks Lough Swilly—a dramatic view that’s either glorious in sunshine or stark and moody in the rain. Guest rooms are basic and quite small, but they tick enough boxes so long as you’re not craving anything too fancy. Meanwhile the spa and pool are welcome places to unwind. This place has excellent facilities for kids—a supervised play area, Planet Active, has more than enough to keep the little ones busy, including games tables, video games, and soft play for younger kids. If you book a family room package then you even get one free craft workshop per child (and can book others for just €10 each).
