Tara Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really loved this hotel, and I would totally recommend it. Killybegs is a small traditional fishing village close to some stunning, empty beaches that are ideal for walking dogs. The hotel was amazing; however, if I had to critique anything, it would be the food, which wasn't as good as the overall hotel. I do want to thank Larissa and Kevin, who served us breakfast; they were very efficient and super friendly. Check out the Spa too, as that was great for my Fiancée; however, you really need to book early, as the slots get filled up quickly."
