I’ve just dropped in to see you all, I’ll only stay awhile, I want to hear how you’re getting on, I want to hear you smile, I’m happy to be back again, And greet you big and small, For there’s no place on earth just like, The homes of Donegal (Sean McBride/Paul Brady – Homes of Donegal)
You know you’ve reached the westerly edge of Europe when you cross into Donegal and can hear the echoes of former times whistle around you. Head back to the Donegal hills and even further back with Lough Eske Castle tracing its roots all the way back to the late 1400’s and the famous O’Donnell family that founded the nearby town of Donegal. While the castle houses a date stone of 1621, the current Castle was constructed in the 1860s but alas destroyed by fire in just before the Emergency (not that Emergency).
Behind its stony exterior the Castle Hotel & Spa nurtures a warm and genteel heart within, to sooth your worldly troubles away with its inviting lobby, elegant interiors, stone floors, imposing oak staircase and obligatory open fireplaces with fabulous views of the gardens.
Complete your escape in the Library or wander into the Gallery and let the soothing words of many of Donegal’s finest scribes who have left their words scattered around complete your retreat.
