We have just been given a sneak preview of what Óstán Ghaoth Dobhair will look like if plans for a €15 million refurbishment get the green light.
The owners of the iconic beachfront west Donegal hotel have formally submitted plans with Donegal County Council for the ambitious project. They also confirmed to Donegal Daily that the Óstán, and its sister hotel The Seaview, both will ‘100%’ reopen as tourism ventures.

The proposed development will include a 250 seater wedding venue/ballroom on the roof of the current hotel. Eighty new bedrooms will also be constructed where the old ballroom was located and a new spa will be added.
