    Was attending a wedding locally. Was running late as i got delayed in traffic on the way there. I called ahead and asked if they could arrange for a taxi to pick me up at the hotel and bring me straight to the chapel as i had already been told...

    We had a great stay at The Gateway Lodge. Our room was really big and very clean. The hotel itself is a short walk into Donegal town making it a great base to explore Donegal county and surrounding areas. The breakfast was amazing and great value....
