Lake of Shadows Hotel

The breakfast is excellent and filling, attracting visitors. Convenient location near town, beach, and lake. Friendly and efficient staff. Comfortable, quiet, and modern rooms with excellent beds.

Due to unseasonably summery weather, and the sea being out far beyond the usual levels two weary walkers who had exceeded their plans for the outdoors found themselves in need of a meal at the end of the day. As frequent visitors to another Buncrana establishment they were disappointed to learn there that the roast dinner there was the same as the one they had enjoyed at home two days before, and they decided to give the Lake of Shadows a turn, and were so glad they did. Never having been there before they looked at first impressions - comfy chairs in the lobby, clean modern toilets and liked what they saw. The bar area is carpeted and comfy with a great sun room - dark, tile floor, antique filled areas in so many other restaurants lack cosiness. The young man serving was very friendly, a big bonus to any establishment. The turkey and ham dinner is a great option when you have worked up an appetite walking all day and did not disappoint - lashings of tender turkey, just the right amount of ham and stuffing, a roastie which seems to be off so many menus of late, and copious amounts of veg with a good variety, and of course that filling bed of mash. If one was to split hairs, the broccoli could have been cooked a little less, that would indeed be splitting hairs. We forced room for the Houdini pud having heard it was fantastic - and it was. Coconut lovers heaven! We will most certainly be back even if the sunshine isn't.

Lovely hotel very friendly stager great service -food was very nice
