The Waterfront Hotel Dungloe, which opened
its doors last year, are delighted to announce that they have received four
star status from Fáilte Ireland. Although the hotel has been operating to a
four star standard since its inception in August 2016, it was just this week
that the hotel's grading became official. The award means the Waterfront Hotel,
Dungloe becomes the first hotel in Co. Donegal to open as a four star for
almost two decades.

Situated at the site of the former Ostan Na
Rossan hotel, overlooking the beautiful Dungloe Bay, the Waterfront Hotel has a
brand new look and feel designed to demonstrate a contemporary and forward
thinking position on the Wild Atlantic Way. Owner Kevin Boyle along with his
cousin Patrick Boyle, have outlined ambitious plans for the very near future of
the hotel, focusing on further development including the luxurious,
eco-friendly Inis Spa and Health Club. Work is also due to begin very shortly
on an extensive organic garden that will supply the hotel with probably the
freshest local produce of any professional kitchen in the country.
