Guest Reviews
- Heaney-McKee (9/5): -
- Shauna (10/5): It was beautiful - I love the quiet calm environment that is so personal and relaxing. I felt like we were the only people in the hotel. Housekeeping could have cleaned the room when we were at breakfast.
- Caoimhe (10/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): A taste of luxury with great service - Beautiful location and accommodations. Welcoming staff and great service. Great breakfast and a touch of luxury.
- liam (10/5): -
- Katrina (6/5): - Pregnancy massage
Breakfast Lack of information during the stay, had to ask all the time
- David E (5/5): Annoying - Rome was comfortable and large but the hotel lacks character given its position I am not impressed with being charged by both booking and the hotel direct after giving my card for any extra charges which was impossible as nothing is going on in the hotel
- Killonian (7/5): - Room was bijou but lovely, house and decor was really impressive. Grounds looked well laid out but unfortunately the weather was poor so didn't get to enjoy it. The Church restaurant was excellent with very good staff No bar service, very limited variety, no on tap beer when we stayed. Breakfast very poor first morning, but much improved on second morning.
- Ciara (10/5): Bridgerton Vibes - Room was absolutely fabulous everything about it fabulous the dinner in the church was 5 star 🌟 Breakfast was bad pancakes burnt & egg shell found in Breakfast also
- Tracy (10/5): A serene setting in an exceptional country house estate. - A beautiful country house. The breakfast was amazing too.
An extremely good nights sleep. We will be back.
- Mary (9/5): - I liked the staff, the whole experience was good.
- Dermot (10/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): Peaceful - The staff were just amazing, I really haven’t had service like this in a long time. This property has so much spirit. I will be back for sure. Absolutely nothing.
- Claire (9/5): Really pleased we chose Rockhill to stay & will be back again - Friendly staff Thought use of the spa was included
- Sofiia (10/5): Идеально проведенный отдых! - Все понравилось, особенно чистота и персонал, очень внимательные работники, спасибо большое. Еда очень вкусна. Атмосфера уюта и роскоши. Рекомендую
- chris (7/5): Good could be better - A quiet location with spacious rooms. Breakfast could have been better, lack of fresh fruit and a charge for cappuccino which is a little mean.
- Ibidokun (9/5): -
- chris (7/5): Good but not great - Large rooms, nice grounds Breakfast a sub par, needs more variety and fresh fruit
- Julie (7/5): Lovely place with fab staff. - Beautiful location and building. Some minor updates would make it wonderful. Reduce the heating in the rooms. Like a sauna on arrival! EV chargers. USB ports. Body moisturiser.
- Mairead (6/5): -

Beautiful rooms. Double bed - would have preferred super king but understand the description was 'large double'.
Beer from upstairs bar wasn't great but once staff got it from the downstairs bar it was much fresher.

- Tina Wylie (10/5): - Everything. What a breathless place. Love it. Nothing
- Tina Wylie (10/5): Fantastic - The location. The staff were fantastic. The wellness spa was amazing. Nothing
- Murphy (9/5): Luxurious relaxing break - Beautiful house and grounds, very friendly staff - touch of luxury! We stayed in the courtyard rooms which were outside from main house but super spacious, with a little kitchenette and a big bath and went to the main house for drinks by the fire, we had a wonderful stay! The thermal spa access isnt included in the price- usually we expect to be able to access the spa as hotel guests, but its a seperate enterprise so had to pay €49pp to access it, which is just worth noting. We did pay though and the facilities were great, really worth it!
- Mairtin (10/5): -
- Martina (10/5): -
- Sharon (9/5): Perfect break after Christmas - We loved the whole experience .We were so relaxed and chilled. Nothing!!
- colin (7/5): Great to unwind and peaceful surroundings - Charming steeped in history No entertainment but knew this when booking despite staying over new year. The gate is often closed and on our first night the restaurant is on the outside the button to request opening is not obvious in the dark and not advised how to operate same on day of departure it took three goes for it to open fully. No obvious reason why it’s closed during the day
- riccardo (8/5): -
- Martina (8/5): Beautiful setting & great accommodation & nice friendly staff - Beautiful location and we dined in the church and had bed & breakfast Breakfast was very busy but a little all over the place.. we were served by 4 different people but waited 25 mins for our breakfast which was lovely when we got it simple changes having salt & pepper and butter on each table would really help the staff as well. Dinner in the Church was nice but our food was cool when we received it so had to wait to have it redone again
- Paula (9/5): -
- helen (10/5): -
- James (10/5): -
- Martin (10/5): - Lovely room and Bed
The peace and quiet
The food Nothing comes to mind
- Peter (10/5): We enjoyed our stay.staff friendly and helpful Food excellent - Staff were very very obliging. Nothing was a problem
Lovely rooms and food excellent
Also very homely Everything was excellent
- TMcP (6/5): Atmosphereless - Beautiful courtyard apartment. Spacious and clean. Staff we encountered were friendly but not forthcoming with information. Absolutely no atmosphere in hotel itself. Staff gave no information on check in. We received no information on where breakfast was, check out time, hotel facilities, local amenities, etc.
My husband and I nicknamed it the Marie Celeste - very few staff or guests around. We booked the hotel as a treat before Christmas and it had no Christmas atmosphere at all. Beautifully decorated trees outside, and in the hotel windows but it was a very surreal experience. Signage from Letterkenny is abysmal.
I hate to leave such a negative review
- Emmett (10/5): Very good - Room was great, spa was really good , dinner was lovely
- HELEN (10/5): -
- Denise (8/5): -
- Orla (8/5): -
- Marion McCauley (10/5): -
- Elisabeth (10/5): Bel endroit dans un lieu isolé et calme. Belles prestations - Le cadre et le confort Le personnel d’accueil
La femme de chambre qui servait aussi le petit déjeuner était en revanche exceptionnelle
- Tony (10/5): - Excellent
- Paul (10/5): - Lovely rural setting. Rooms very spacious with a lovely bath. Only disappointment was trying to watch Tv signal was bad. But in general its a beautiful place. The television signal was awful. Small gripe
- Johnston (10/5): Super venue, lovely restaurant, great staff. - The welcome and the friendly staff. The hot water ran out!
- Deirdre (10/5): -
- C (6/5): - Room was beautiful, breakfast was nice. Bar was tiny with no atmosphere. Shower was dripping all night.
- John (10/5): -
- Lisa (9/5): A beautiful place to get away from it all. - We dined in the Church restaurant and we were stunned by the quality of the food. One of the most delicious meals we’ve had in a very long time!
Breakfast was exceptional. Fabulous service, the staff were very warm and friendly. The quality of the produce used was cooked to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble. There wasn’t a full offering in the bar and it seemed a little short on staff at times.
- Sinead (10/5): -
- Evelyn (8/5): Gorgeous property. - It’s absolutely gorgeous! Very comfortable room and delicious breakfast. Dinner in the restaurant was very good. I think we were just unlucky? There was no hot water when we arrived and I’d been looking forward to having a bath. It took over an hour to get the hot water but then the bath plug didn’t work. The receptionist was very apologetic and we were given a bottle of wine but after walking all day I really had just wanted a bath.
- eileen (10/5): Excellent - The location was perfect and the breakfast was excellent.. I overheard one staff member at breakfast being very unprofessional to a younger member of staff.. not good and obviously embarrassed the girl.
- Lenard (10/5): -
- Bridget (10/5): Outstanding historic home set in beautiful grounds. Very much a must for the discerning. - Stunningly renovated majestic old historic home. Very large bedrooms stylishly appointed. Beautiful garden and grounds complete with bronze statues and fountain. Genteel bar, breakfast room and four separate lounge areas, beautifully appointed, in which to work, read or socialise. Exceptional staff as would be expected. The separate Church restaurant not in a church, as was expected, rather a more modern building. However food and staff exceptional.
- Christine (9/5): Romantisches Haus mit schönen Lage und schönem Blick - Das Haus ist ein alter Herrensitz mit wunderschönem Garten und Blick auf Letterkenny.
Die Lage in Wald und Wiese.
Unser Zimmer war, wie auf den Onlinefotos, mit stilgerechten alten Möbeln ausgestattet. Das Bad ist groß.
Zum Haupthaus gehört auch eine Bar/ Restaurant mit sehr guter Küche zu vernünftigen Preisen.
Wir würden gerne länger bleiben und würden wieder kommen. Alles tipptopp!
- Mari (10/5): - Kaunis ympäristö, kaunis rakennus ja sisustuksessa miellyttävä sekoitus uutta ja vanhaa. Halli kerrassaan upea. Saleissa on sohvaryhmiä, joissa viettää aikaa. Monessa huoneessa takka, jossa paloi avotuli. Aamiainen hyvä. Lämpimän annoksen lisäksi buffa hedelmineen ja leipineen. Kylpylän puoli meni turhan aikaisin (18.00) kiinni.
- Barone (9/5): -
- Linas (9/5): - Really enjoyed staying in this beautiful Georgian style Estate in the serene and quiet area. The staff were really wonderful, very polite and helpful. Although there was a mistake at the beginning when we were given the key to the wrong room, the problem was pointed out and solved immediately.
We absolutely recommend this hotel 😉
- Margaret (10/5): -
- Josef (10/5): -
- Eilish (8/5): - The food portions was small and very little veg. Fish dishes were nice
- Bogner (10/5): -
- Mckeever (10/5): It was amazing - Everything
- Alan (9/5): See comments above - A hidden gem on the outskirts of Letterkenny. Staff were so helpful and friendly. The main hotel building is beautiful and offers a calm experience in luxurious surroundings. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent and I’d say the breakfast is up
there as one of the best I’ve experienced. The room was spacious, well appointed, relaxing and comfortable. What a wonderful hotel experience and one I’d repeat.
- Mckeever (10/5): - Quiet Having to walk to the restaurant outside only it was dry but the restaurant was top marks .
- Simon (10/5): -
- Keith (8/5): - Absolutely a well-appointed room, bed was so comfortable, room clean and tidy. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. Breakfast was fantastic.
Got the feeling.nothing was too much hassle for the staff. Who all ensured our staff was wonderful.
- Martin (10/5): - Everything is perfect
- Alma (10/5): - Las instalaciones están hermosas!!.. las habitaciones muy confortables
- bert (10/5): -
- Donna (9/5): -
- Helen (8/5): Unique exceptional property. We enjoyed the stay and the team are a credit go the hotel - The team especially Bianca and Marco were excellent. We stayed in the coach house 2 bed apartments. Very clean and comfortable. Would recommend to friends and family. We felt the buffet breakfast and breakfast menu could cater more for gluten free. We felt the breakfast was the weakest part of the stay.
- martin (10/5): -
- Christopher (9/5): -
- Mary (10/5): - Quiet location with exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful reception rooms and bedroom. The most memorable part of our short stay was how each and every member of staff we met in the hotel and the Church restaurant demonstrated pride in working at Rockhill House.
- Patrice (10/5): Splendide - Tout était parfait.
Splendide lieu. Magnifique chambre. Propreté excellente.
Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux.

- Samantha (10/5): -
- Lil (9/5): Incredible house with amazing interior decorations and 4 beautiful sitting rooms but not used as t. - Accommodation and Breakfast and food. Little activity going on.Had to leave the main house to go outside to go to the adjacent building.
- Gwyneth (8/5): A beautifully restored house with some great attention to detail - Beautiful decor. 💞 our room was very well decorated and comfortable ☺️
Very friendly staff especially receptionist (Zita).. informative and accommodating to our requests as on arrival l .. these were brought to us promptly along with a little portion of homemade biscuits.. 🍪 a lovely touch ☺️ The black gate.. difficult to gain access despite pushing what was assumed to be a button.. not clear instructions and slightly frustrating as a result.. 😮
We stayed in courtyard room, spacious and comfortable .. However.. a few very noisy guests were above us.. we had to endure a lot of noise until early hours of the morning they were laughing and moving about ! These incidentally were not children 🧐
The Church restaurant.. it unfortunately lacked a warm atmosphere and my mum was displeased with her red wine and asked to change ( it was not offered to her to have a sample taste).. the second glass tasted “ the same”..
- Andrew (9/5): - Lovely welcome by Zita. Building and grounds are outstanding.. Loved the bronze statues around the grounds and inside the building. Room was spacious and comfortable. Great bathroom. Comfortable large bed. Breakfast choices were good Early wakeup to crows calling
- terri (10/5): -
- Katherine (10/5): Great stay - Very peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful scenery and nice walks Nothing
