A closer look
A place with character.
Harvey's Point sits on the shore of Lough Eske with the Blue Stacks behind it, and has built its name on service and food rather than fashion. For a small wedding it offers the comfort of a full hotel with the setting of somewhere far more remote.
It is not exclusive use, so ask what else is on. Donegal town is ten minutes away and the coast at Rossnowlagh and Slieve League is an easy day for guests staying on.
