Lake of Shadows Hotel

The hotel was very nice and friendly staff. Convenient to the town centre and all amenities.

Stayed here Friday 14th March with the better half. On arrival greeted by Steve who was polite and courteous. The rooms were small but clean and lovely and cosy. We decided to try the restaurant, again clean and staff couldn’t do enough for you. Special mention to Eimear who looked after us. I went for the Cajun Chicken with fries and better half tried the vol au vent both were delicious. On reading a previous review on here I decided to go for the Houdini coconut ice cream and it was simply delicious, definitely give it a try. I had the full Irish breakfast the next morning and again tasty. All in all a great we trip and would definitely recommend this establishment.

Receptionist would need a course on people management, should have checked if stay was paid for in advance or whos name or card details they had for payment instead of asking for payment right away, then sending us to wrong floor on a two floor hotel , not very professional at all other than that V.Good

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.

Stayed for 1 night with bed&breakfast and evening meal, when we went for a few drinks before our meal we had the first interaction with the front of house man who was very rude and abrupt, unfortunately this carried on all night, bar man was very friendly but rest of staff need training.With the deal your choice of meals was very limited. Food was burnt and mash dry, very disappointed as this was our second time here and food was amazing then. Will not recommend because of front of house man’s attitude and food.

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