Reviews - Mcgrory's Culdaff
Reviews summary
A charming local hotel in a quiet Donegal village with excellent service, but disappointing food. Spotless with friendly staff, though some meals were subpar. Lacks parking but has a welcoming atmosphere. Great for a meal after a beach day. Accommodation is cozy and well-equipped for a reasonable price. Ideal for weddings and long-time guests. Good value overall for a pleasant stay in Inishowen. Great service from the bar staff and plenty of parking available. Live music adds to the ambiance, making it a lovely spot to relax after a day at the beach.

Was looking for some where to have lunch and found McGrorys at Culdaff. Yes there is a main dining room but for lunch we were directed to the cosy traditional bar with a table near the fire . I had the beef burger with cheese and bacon and onion ring with the hand cut fries. A very tasty burger made on the premises and the large chips were delicious. We were in no rush to leave and had Morelli’s ice cream and Cidona.... View all feedback.
What Nikki Ward dislikes about Mcgrory's Culdaff:
Too expensive! small pub-hotel in the middle of nowhere; There's nothing to do around here. The staff was nice. a room could have been found to us while the establishment was complete. the room was small and the bed very small cm) for people. The bedding was uncomfortable. On the other hand, the pressure and hot water in the shower were pure happiness. the cleanliness of the room was not exceptional. The restaurant w... View all feedback.

Brilliant place Visiting with family from Australia and Canada I'm from Scotland We read reviews of your food menu -which is amazing Were not disappointed We all ordered different meals Food and service was really great Definitely a place to recommend
A lovely hotel in the quiet village of Culdaff. Food is great and there is a lovely blue flag beach within walking distance. I have stayed here numerous times. It's my happy place .
We had a good stay here. The rooms are very clean and quiet. Shower is very good. We had a few drinks in the pub and that was grand as well
What a lovely weekend. Fabulous location and such a great welcome. Friendly staff and great food. Breakfast was on another level. Great choices and beautifully cooked. I'm definitely going back.
We have been going to McGrory's for years. I had my wedding day at McGrory's 2 weeks ago, and to say I was blown away would be an understatement. We live in London so 90% of our guests travelled over for our wedding, and they were so impressed with the staff, the food and atmosphere. Carole was so helpful from day 1 and we really couldn't have asked for better. Thank you so much!

We stayed at McGrorys for 4 nights this week and had an amazing experience from beginning to end. The king size bed and bath/shower were top quality. The breakfast had a wide variety of delicious options. The dinner was fantastic, especially the fresh fish, chowder, and the 50,50 steak and chicken dish. The staff were incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, including providing special teas and a safety mat for the bath/shower upon request. They truly made our stay comfortable and memorable. The young trainees were enthusiastic and polite, while the senior staff were always professional. Inishowen is fortunate to have a gem like McGrorys.
My wife and I stayed at McGrorys as a birthday treat on a Friday. The hotel is beautiful and just a 5-minute walk to Culdaff beach. The front bar has a very traditional feel and is brilliant. The service was exceptional and the food was outstanding. I had fish and chips, which was one of the nicest meals I've ever had, and my wife had the Chicken Fillet burger. As we were paying our bill, the staff surprised us with a special birthday dessert with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate sauce - a very thoughtful touch. We had a great night's sleep in their spacious double room and enjoyed a delicious Irish Breakfast the next morning. We will definitely be returning! Thank you, McGrorys, for a wonderful stay.
Great food and music in front bar. Waiting staff very attentive. I'll definitely be back. Love all the little differences that have been made since reopening
Family celebration of 19 from around the world coming back to our roots. Staff handled it superbly, food great and large portions. Very enjoyable afternoon. Well done!

The food is excellent, though it might be slightly pricey. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful. The cozy atmosphere makes it a wonderful choice for a special occasion.
We stopped by for lunch on a rainy July day. I wasn’t very hungry, so I opted for a mussel appetizer. It was around €13, but the portion was quite generous...
We arrived at 7 PM to find the bar bustling with activity, but the restaurant was quite empty. Although we hadn't intended on having a three-course meal, the menu was so enticing that we decided to indulge. The atmosphere was very...

This hotel is beautiful, and the views are stunning. I will definitely return!
We had a wonderful lunch to celebrate my mum's 75th birthday, and I want to extend a special thank you to all the staff in the kitchen, bar, and front of house who came out to sing happy birthday with us, along with our American guests that day! It was a truly memorable moment and a fantastic way to kick off our celebrations. The best team!
This is undoubtedly the best seafood chowder in Ireland. It's absolutely fantastic!

A quality traditional pub with a cosy open fire, completely authentic with no hipster nonsense! The staff are friendly and fun. Best place to warm up in the whole north-west!
Great chowder and the spicy wings are a must order! The black pudding fritters are tasty. The service was excellent. Very child friendly for a pub. Great Irish atmosphere.
