Lough Eske Castle

Once the home of the powerful clans of Donegal, today Lough Eske is a beautiful castle that has opened its magnificent doors to those looking to experience Ireland’s rich heritage.

The castle has been sensitively restored and today houses 96 elegant rooms and suites. Natural materials and fabrics are used so as not to detract from the idyllic natural surroundings.

Eating at the hotel is a real treat. Produce harvested from the land, shore and sea of this stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way is used to create beautiful seasonal dishes at the Cedar Restaurant, which offers sweeping views of the castle gardens and the surrounding woodlands. In the summer, guests can dine outside on the terrace.

The hotel spa with sauna, steam room, tropical showers, treatment rooms and infinity pool is the perfect place to unwind, and there is also a fitness centre for those who like to stay active while away.
