"Nice stay at this pub. Beds were clean and comfortable. Right in the town so easy access to everything. Slightly noisy at pub closing time. Pub doesn’t do food but recommend the Butterbean down the street. Overall nice one night stay for 2 adults and 2 kids"

10/10 Excellent
"From Charmaine welcoming us at reception, & giving me a free birthday upgrade to Dessie serving us at the bar, they are only a few of the reasons it's our favourite hotel. The food is amazing as always, the atmosphere relaxed no matter how busy they are. Breakfast was delicious & altho very busy, the girls were so courteous & chatty. We'll be back in October for our anniversary."

"The location and surroundings of Redcastle Hotel can not be beaten. To enjoy your breakfast looking out onto Lough Foyle is a dream. Catherine and the reception staff are lovely and very welcoming. Breakfast was a little disappointing but the food we had in the Captains Bar was excellent - would highly recommend the chicken wings. Rooms were spacious clean and modern"
