“blink and youll miss it...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

there was a special deal on email for this hotel but i looked up the hotel site and was so impressed by its site that i rang the hotel itself and got a better deal for over 55s. the hotel receptionist clinched it for me. she was well spoken friendly and so happy to move mountains on my behalf that i felt welcomed before id even got there. Following the directions she gave me, we golden oldies, headed for donegal In the main street of ballybofey just nearly opposite mcilhinneys lovely new department store is an easily missable sand coloured building looking like a bank but in actual fact its the old villa rose hotel which now serves as the hotels very nice restaurant and bar. behind this building is the real modern villa rose hotel. so you have to drive further up the main street and turn right and right again to reach the hotel reception.We can tell you this hotel scores 10 out of 10 for so many things. the friendliness of staff is so noticable.. the hygiene and housekeeping are top class ...the food is as good as weve ever got anywhere ...the service in the restaurant is beyond reproach especially if you get aine which we did but the others are super as well. the bar is lovely and every night the entertainment is just what the doctor ordered. great hot and cold breakfasts followed by relaxing reading of our complimentary newspaper in the big big settees covered foyer. you know what. weel be back but we wish it was next week. johnd

“6 hens from Belfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

This was the best weekend we have had in a very long time. The hotel was beautiful, it was modern, clean and comfortable. Can't complain about any aspect of this wonderful hotel and spa. Everything was super, from check in to check out. Super staff, all very willing to sort things out if need be.
What an experience, will be back as soon as poss for another indulging weekend.

“Oasis hidden behind poor exterior”

Booked O55 package here in May this year - a four night/day activity holiday. Finding the hotel was slightly difficult but the welcome was 100% from Rachael and Leona in Reception, Ronan in the bar and Aine and Laura in the dining room. Rooms were spacious, plenty of parking spaces; food was excellent and the entertainment laid on was enjoyable. Here was a staff who were friendly and helpful every day. Thank you to you all for making this break for us and the other O55's, who joined us. Will definitely be back! A minor criticism was the sleets on the bed. Hot!!

Room Tip: Get directions how to enter from Jackson's Hotel side. Ask for the people mentioned above and le...

“Do not pass by this hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

just back from spa break with work collegues Do not be mislaid by the front of hotel as it has a very large extension to the rear of building. Checked into hotel to be met by very friendly staff. Room excellent bed very soft and bathroom spotless. Buffet breakfast was hot and plentiful. We had a deal which included a spa treatment and an evening meal. The meal was excellent and we were able to select from the main menu. The spa experience is one not to be missed. I would recommend this hotel as one of the best I have ever stayed in and I will be back for another spa treatment asap.

Room Tip: as to stay in new extension
