The Beating Heart of Inishowen – A Must-Visit Gem!

If you are looking for the "real" Ireland, look no further than McGrory’s in Culdaff. I recently stayed here, and it is rare to find a place that manages to be a top-tier hotel, an incredible culinary destination, and a legendary music venue all in one.
​From the moment you arrive, you feel the "Inishowen warmth." The business where the staff treat you like a regular within an hour of checking in. The Front Bar is the highlight—with its open fire and an authentic feel that you just can't manufacture. Whether you’re stopping in for a quiet pint or catching a spontaneous traditional music session, it’s the kind of place where time slows down.
​The hotel is famous for a reason. Their "Backroom" venue is world-renowned for its acoustics and history, having hosted everyone from local legends to international icons. Even if there isn't a ticketed show on, the casual sessions in the Front Bar are pure magic. It’s not just a hotel; it’s a cultural institution.
​Make sure you don't skip the dining! The Oyster Catcher Restaurant serves up some of the best food in Donegal—fresh, local, and expertly prepared. Whether you grab a hearty meal in the bar or a more formal dinner in the restaurant, the quality is consistent and delicious. Culdaff itself is a hidden gem, located just moments away from a stunning Blue Flag beach and serving as the perfect base for exploring the dramatic scenery of Malin Head and the Wild Atlantic Way.
​If you want a sterile, generic hotel, look elsewhere. But if you want a place with soul, incredible music, and genuine Irish hospitality that you’ll be thinking about long after you leave, McGrory’s is the only place to stay in Inishowen. I’m already planning my next trip back!

Mediocre

We stayed at this hotel two years ago and had the most amazing experience of staying and eating here. We have wanted to return ever since, and we visited while in culdaff this week. We know it’s changed owners but still had high hopes. First of all the menu has changed, I loved the mussels and Kinnegar IPA and neither were on the menu! I was looking forward to this so was disappointed. I got chowder to start and it was alright, and then the burger for a main, and it was very good. However the chips are so chunky they are potato sides not chips! Service was quick and friendly, and they are dog friendly, so we had a good experience, it just was not as good as the first time we visited in 2024.

Wonderful hotel

Recently had a lovely 2 night stay at McGrory’s, which was wonderful. The whole place is very homely, with a friendly atmosphere, clean, room serviced daily by the lovely housekeepers, all staff helpful, pleasant and courteous and as a guest who needs to eat gluten free food I was very well catered for with breakfast and dinner. I found the whole stay to be excellent value for money. Parking is across the busy road and there is plenty of space.
Culdaff is an excellent location and the beach is close by. One wee thing is the road noise as it is on the Main Street but we brought ear plugs just in case and we did use them, just a personal preference. Nothing I would complain about. I have visited before and will stay there again.

Joe, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. The issues you have raised regarding breakfast, the quality of the food served, and the response you received from our team is not the standard of service we strive to provide.
Regarding the Wi-Fi, while we do provide complimentary internet access throughout the hotel, we are located in a remote part of Inishowen and, on occasion, connectivity can be affected by factors beyond our control. We appreciate that this can be frustrating and apologise for any inconvenience caused during your stay.
We appreciate your kind comments about the breakfast team member who looked after you on Tuesday and will ensure your feedback is passed on to her.
Your comments have been shared with management for review.
