The Carrigart Hotel.
A Victorian landmark, restored and reopened: a bar and restaurant with live music, four kilometres up the road in the village.
From Davey John’s to the Carrigart Hotel.
Sitting at the top of the town, the Carrigart Hotel is a past symbol of elegance and history, brought back through a significant restoration: Victorian heritage alongside modern comfort, with the bar and restaurant now welcoming guests again, four kilometres from Davey John’s.
If you’re staying with us and fancy a taste of that Victorian grandeur with a modern twist, pop up to the hotel and tell them you’ve come from Davey John’s, and they’ll guide you through what the hotel has to offer, including the kitchen, open Thursday to Sunday. With a focus on live music, it draws guests from Downings, Milford and Letterkenny as well as our own.
The bar, the snug, and the welcome.
If you’re intrigued by the history and transformation of this iconic establishment, there’s a wonderful account by locally-born Angela on her blog, A Silver Voice from Ireland, and a piece on the Donegal Daily, both chronicling the hotel’s journey from its Victorian origins to its restoration.
It’s wonderful to see the hotel open again, and we wish the Boyle family all the best as they work to reinstate this much-loved part of the locality.
Stay at Davey John’s. The village is up the road.
