Delish dinner packed with flavor, stunning location perfect for a leisurely stroll, and super friendly staff. Cons: No A/C, disappointed with breakfast. But, overall, Kaikoura magic is real. If you're into eccentric garden wanders and big eats, this spot's for you. Ready for seconds! Cheers! 🍽️🌿🏞️

The stunning surroundings made for a great backdrop. The clean room and tasty meals were a highlight. various issues, like a noisy environment and lack of amenities, dampened the overall experience. With improvements in noise control and facilities, this place has the potential to truly shine.

United Kingdom, July 2023

The database provided was very user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to find the information I needed. the room was comfortable and cozy, with a lovely view of the garden. the breakfast served was superb, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from.

There was a lack of mugs, plates for snacks, and a small knife in the room. This made it a bit inconvenient when wanting to enjoy a quick snack or drink in the comfort of my own space.

we didn’t expect such a lovely place at donegal house. spacious room, dedicated staff, beautiful grounds to walk and relax. short drive from town centre, need a car to get there.

Nothing could have been better 😀.
