Redcastle Hotel, Moville - A Heritage Haven on Lough Swilly

Redcastle Hotel & Spa, a well-kept secret on the Inishowen Peninsula, offers a compelling blend of historical gravitas and contemporary luxury. Just a short drive from Derry City, this estate house turned hotel provides a serene escape, making it a distinguished choice for discerning travellers exploring North Donegal.

Location

Set on the shores of Lough Swilly in Fahan, the hotel commands a picturesque position overlooking the water. Its proximity to Ireland's most northerly point, Malin Head, and the ancient sites that pepper the Inishowen Peninsula, provides a rich tapestry of history and natural beauty. The impressive green of the golf course, bordering a large Victorian park with coastal paths, offers sweeping views across the lough towards Co. Derry, creating a restful panorama.

Style and Character

The Redcastle estate house, dating back to the 18th century, has been thoughtfully reimagined into a luxury hotel. Original features of the historic estate are harmoniously integrated with modern comforts, creating an atmosphere that feels both classic and current. The interior design achieves a refined balance between traditional elegance and a fresh, contemporary aesthetic, ensuring a sophisticated and welcoming ambiance.

Service and Facilities

The hotel presents a robust offering for relaxation and recreation. The CARA Organic Beauty Spa is a highlight, utilizing premium Voya products for a range of indulgent treatments, including their signature seaweed-based facials that promise rejuvenation. Guests can also enjoy the leisure centre, and for those seeking adventure, the Inish Adventures Water Park, a large inflatable assault course on the bay, offers a spirited diversion. The presence of the open grill fire at the Railway Tavern, where chefs prepare steaks and burgers, adds a theatrical element to dining.

Rooms

Guest accommodations range from elegantly appointed bedrooms to suites, each designed for repose. While standard rooms come with amenities such as tea and coffee facilities, Wi-Fi, and crisp white linen, the suites offer enhanced features. Beds are available as double or twin upon request. Bathrooms are a particular point of note, often featuring marble and mosaic tiling, with soft towels and quality toiletries, adding a touch of opulence to your stay.

Food and Drink

Dining at Redcastle is an elevated experience, centred around The Edge Restaurant, which proudly holds two AA Rosettes for its culinary excellence and service. Overlooking Lough Foyle, the restaurant offers diners a direct connection to the seascape. The menu is complemented by a selection of carefully sourced wines, local beers, and a comprehensive array of teas and coffees. For a more casual experience, the Railway Tavern provides hearty fare, including steaks and burgers cooked over an open grill.

Value for Money

Redcastle often presents packages that offer considerable value, such as the 'Cosy Winter Escape,' which includes accommodation, dinner at the 2 AA Rosette Edge Restaurant, and other amenities, from €169 for two. The combination of luxury accommodation, fine dining, a superb spa, and the opportunity for golf at excellent nearby courses suggests a holiday experience that justifies its investment.

Accessibility

While specific details on adapted rooms and wheelchair access are not detailed here, the hotel's status as a luxury establishment suggests an awareness of guest needs. Those requiring specific facilities are advised to confirm availability and arrangements at the time of booking.

Family-Friendly

Redcastle caters thoughtfully to families, particularly during school holidays. A Kids' Club operates from Sunday to Thursday during July and August, as well as during Easter and Halloween, offering engaging activities. Families looking for excitement will also appreciate the land and water activities provided by nearby Inish Adventures.

“This four-star establishment on the Inishowen Peninsula strikes me as a particularly appealing option for those seeking both relaxation and activity. Its oceanfront location and spa, coupled with the award-winning Edge Restaurant, suggest a focus on quality and comfort. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for a getaway, especially given its family-friendly amenities and proximity to local attractions.”
