Thinking of a Staycation this year? Consider this beautiful hotel nestled within 43 acres of forest in Co Donegal.
We set off, baby in tow, for Donegal one long weekend and we were so looking forward to some 5* treatment in Lough Eske Castle, a hotel and spa, hugging the shores of Lough Eske, with the Blue Stack Mountains in the background.
Lough Eske Castle Hotel is the only five star hotel in Donegal. Winner of the World's Best Luxury Country Hotel for the past five consecutive years, Wow , all sounding rather fabulous!!
We escaped into a luxurious world of relaxed grandeur the moment we drove through the gates.

The bathrooms - A divine haven! Each bathroom has marble tiling throughout with a double basin vanity unit with granite top. .

The Spa @ Lough Solis
During our stay , I visited the Spa Solis for an aromatherapy associates facial, where my skin was restored and revitalised using essential oils to improve skin condition. The massage technique was relaxing and left my complexion smooth and luminous. Horray to that!
Arabella thoroughly enjoyed her 5 star experience and was an angel throughout !

Food, glorious food
The appeal of Cedars Grill Restaurant with its easy going elegance and very modern sense of style certainly impressed us! We dined on gourmet burgers with a cheese board for dessert.
For night time dining, the dining room itself is quite stunning with its floor to ceiling, button back upholstery and modern crystal light fixtures. Glass doors open onto a slate terrace - a delightful place to linger and admire the manicured lawns and woodland views that surround Lough Eske Castle. We devoured beautiful fish chowder & fillet steaks. The prices , as expected , are certainly not on the cheap side but hey, you get what you pay for !!
We paid a visit to the Gallery Bar and Lobby Lounge before we departed *sad face
it offers more casual dining options, We loved the hushed ambience and rich leather furnishings, the Oak Bar feels like an exclusive club
