Castle Grove Country House Hotel

First time to visit and will be back. All staff made you fell at home and part of their family. Our first time in letterkenny and the staffs local knowledge on things to do and visit was invaluable. Restaurant is a must visit 10 out of 10 and a drink in front of the fire to finish the evening.

Castlegrove is a most charming and friendly place to visit. The Sweeney family and their team make sure that it is a home from home experience. The food is absolutely amazing and the welcome second to none. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We recently enjoyed a 3 night stay, including breakfast, and dinner on two nights in this family run hotel. The food was fantastic, and the staff were extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. Our room and bathroom were very spacious, and overlooked the front lawn. The whole house has a feeling of calm and relaxation. It is an ideal location for exploring this part of Ireland. We felt it was excellent value for money, and look forward to returning.

What a fantastic family run hotel. I love sitting in the drawing and grand reception rooms like going back in time with fires burning . We stayed for 3 nights over New Year with our 2 daughters aged 9 and 12. The family and staff made our stay perfect and we enjoyed every minute. The food was out of this world. The service was brilliant and friendly . Nothing seemed too much . We attended the gala dinner on New Years Eve and it was superb. Drinks reception and 5 course tasting menu followed by a really good disco with local radio DJ. On New Years Day we celebrated the 90th birthday of a family member with a brilliant lunch . My father in law said it was the best fish and mash he had in a long time. Without a doubt it’s the best food in the area and we have tried all the restaurants! Both our girls are coeliacs and the care and attention taken along with provision of gluten free food including toast , cornflakes and breakfast was really good. The mains in the restaurant including gravy and soup etc are all freshly made with local ingredients including being mainly gluten free . As mentioned the rooms are old worldly but that didn’t bother us as it’s all spotless with cleaners regularly cleaning. Also there was excellent internet access which is a big plus with children. We love the setting and everything about Castle Grove. We will definitely be back to stay again soon.

We rated our experience as 5 out of staff as it is located in a nice peaceful setting. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We had dinner and the food was amazing. The ambience in general was oldy worldy and like throw back to how days were before we entered the mad world of speed and technology. We love everything about Castle Grove and will return.

Always a warm welcome, beautifully decorated for Christmas, real fires and cosy sitting rooms, the most amazing food and comfortable bedrooms. Lovely views over the Swilly. Looking forward to a return visit

If you enjoy characterful rooms, period features and the personal touch, then look no further than Castle Grove. Set in stunning grounds with views of Lough Swilly and far from the madding crowd, peace and tranquility abounds at this charming property, with roaring log fires to relax by in the winter months. The bedrooms are large and beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds and well appointed bathrooms. As for the staff, they are so kind and nothing is too much trouble, making us feel totally pampered. Dining here is a delight, from the made to order breakfast to evening meal served in the sumptuous dining room. All the food is delicious and locally sourced with yummy roast vegetables from their own walled garden. Many thanks to all the hard working staff for making our stay so special. We stayed for 3 nights in November 23 with my elderly father and also in June 23, highly recommended in both summer and winter, just delightful.

Just wow!! We stayed here for a week and couldn’t have been more spoiled. The room (Oliver Goldsmith) was very spacious, the bed and pillows very comfortable. Slept really well. Breakfast which is included was fantastic. Food for dinner which is mainly locally sourced was divine. A wonderful menu to choose from. Highly recommend the pate for starters. The staff were amazing. Over and above with customer service and made us feel at home. At the end of the day coming back to the fireplace in the drawing room was special. As with most experiences, it’s the people you meet so thanks once again to the beautiful staff of Castle Grove
