Solid Choice in Buncrana.

Right on the main road outside of Buncrana so it's easy to find. Seemed like ample parking. Excellent service, room, and restaurant. Breakfast is very good as well. Plus, it's right next door to a modern Applegreen.

Fabulous

We had a lovely stay at the Harbour inn, if only for one night. The lady on reception was both friendly and professional, we were most pleased to receive an upgrade giving us fabulous views out to sea. We hope to stay again but for longer.
Nigel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous first impression! Not only was check-in easy, but Sinead and Kathleen are both angels! My husband was having a medical issue and they both flew to the rescue in getting us assistance and eventually an ambulance. It wasn't the way we expected the day to unfold, but it shows the first-class character and compassion for guests embodied by staff at Harbour Inn. The property is wonderful too!
Tammi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Harbour Inn was very nice but what made it exceptional was the kindness of one of the employees. Our taxi had not shown up and they were concerned we would lose our table at the restaurant. One of the employees was on their way home and offered to take us. She went out of her way to drive us into town! Thank you!

10/10 Exceptional

From start to finish our stay was so enjoyable, comfortable. The staff were all so lovely. Extremely helpful without being intrusive. We were amazed at the large comfortable room. Walk in wardrobe with plenty of hangers. Bathroom was very spacious and spotless. We had dinner in the restaurant at night and it was amazing 👏 fresh tasty and plenty of it. Great atmosphere in the dining room/bar. We had a great night. Breakfast the next morning was 10* absolutely delicious and wonderful choice. I believe the pancakes wre amazing. I would highly recommend The Harbour Inn and I can't wait for my next stay there

perfect stay and meal in Buncrana

Our second stay at Harbour Inn was better than our first! From Lynn's welcome at check-in/lovely breakfast service to a quiet and relaxing stay with great drinks at the bar and that outstanding seafood chowder, service is exceptional from the nicest people you could ever meet. The charm and professionalism make every stay a restorative holiday and show owner Kathleen's attention to the details of a lovely stay for every guest. We hated to depart!
