Customer Review
5 out of 5
Welcome to Fort Royal Hotel, a charming hotel located on the outskirts of Rathmullan Village and on the shores of Lough Swilly in beautiful County Donegal. The 15-bedroom country house hotel is owned and operated by the same family since opening its doors in 1948.
This wonderful country house hotel have has numerous improvements and renovations since opening but still retains the friendly and welcoming atmosphere and old world charm. It’s no surprise that visitors from all over the globe return year after year since the property is situated on 18 acres of mature gardens and walkways, one of which directly leads down to the beach.

Throughout your time in the beautiful village of Rathmullan, you are within easy access to a variety of challenging golf courses. Otway Golf Club is only 5 minutes from the hotel while Portsalon GC and Letterkenny GC are within a 30 minutes drive from your accommodation.
Enjoy a journey on horseback along one of Europe’s cleanest beaches. Dip your toes into the cool waters of the Atlantic or hop on your surfboard and enjoy the wild and boisterous waves. For a more laid back approach, sit back, chill out and enjoy the cloudless skies and warm rays with a family picnic on the beach. The sea and Lough Swilly are brimming with fresh fish and is a paradise for any fisherman to the area.
Within 10kms
Take a trip a little further north to County Antrim where you can marvel at Mother Natures’ as you feast you eyes upon the unique Giants Causeway. On the other hand if you want to stay more local, then a scenic drive to Glenveagh National Park is a must!
The history and culture of Donegal is very much part of life herein the North West and this is apparent as you visit Glebe House and Gallery as well as Newmills. Sample the delightful cuisine at a lot of great restaurants and quaint cafes scattered throughout the region. While you stay at Fort Royal Hotel, why not catch one of the wild brown trout and get your hosts to cook it for you. You can’t get any fresher than that!
