Overall we found our stay at the Great Northern Hotel absolutely wonderful, if I could find one thing to mention, it would be that the breakfast could be warmer. Maybe a microwave or two might be arranged. But even this won't stop us returning. We enjoyed every moment at the hotel and the surroundings. The staff are perfect, they couldn't be more friendly and helpful. The room was kept wonderfully clean and well supplied. Any food we asked for was served promptly and was of an excellent standard. We would and will recommend the hotel to anyone who expresses an interest in visiting Bundoran. Thank you all for a great experience.
