'From the beginning the girls especially Joelene and Sinead took care of us. They continually kept in contact with us throughout the pandemic and put our minds at ease. Even when our numbers had to be cut 10 days prior to our wedding they reassured us that we would have the best day and they weren’t wrong.
The setting of the hotel is Great with beautiful views. The function room was dressed to perfection by the staff. The service and food were amazing and the bedrooms are so clean and spacious. The honeymoon suite is simply amazing.
We would like to thank all the staff at the inishowen gateway for giving us one of the most amazing days of our lives. Our guests had the best day ever and we can’t wait to return to the gateway' - Ciara and Neil
