The Slieve Donald is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting and the staff are amazing. We had a beautiful comfortable room with a great view over the sea and mountains. However there were a few issues with the room. The only mirrors in the bedroom were long narrow ones on the wardrobe doors. There were no electrical sockets near these mirrors. The addition of a mirror close to a socket to use a hairdryer would have been appreciated. The bathroom lighting above the wash hand basin is poor, better lighting and/or a magnifying mirror would be a great addition. Breakfast: buffet with good selection of fruits, youghurts, nuts, cheeses, cold meats etc and porridge is also offered. However the cooked section was very disappointing - good selection but bacon so overcooked my husband couldn’t eat it, eggs and fried bread very poor! You have to make your own toast, white bread only offered and it had to be put it through the toaster three times before it was toasted! I would expect a 5* hotel to offer a freshly cooked breakfast made to order. If they could get these few issues sorted I’d be back again in a heartbeat.

We have stayed here with our dog on several occasions and will continue to do so. We came with friends ( on our recommendation and they also loved it ) A lovely property with rooms to match and great staff throughout. We felt the breakfast doesn’t meet the standards set by the rest of the hotel. Milky scrambled eggs and over cooked poached eggs along with insipid bacon make the breakfast a less than enjoyable experience. I requested a smoothie and was met with blank stares and my request for Tobasco sauce drew a similar response. Otherwise a great stay but brekkie still in the last century.
