The Frontier Hotel

Review

The Frontier Hotel in Bridgend is a brilliant gateway to both Co. Donegal and Derry City. The accommodation is clean, fresh and excellent value, making it easy on the wallet without skimping on comfort. The owner and her hardworking team are friendly, helpful and consistently go the extra mile to ensure every stay feels effortless. Bedrooms are modern, well-appointed and quiet, with everything you need for a relaxing night: comfy beds, good showers, fast Wi-Fi and thoughtful touches. While perfect for an overnight, my advice is to stay a few days. From this handy base you can explore sweeping Donegal beaches, Grianán of Aileach, Derry’s walls and a host of foodie stops. Practical, welcoming and well located, The Frontier Hotel delivers dependable hospitality and genuine warmth.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

At the Frontier Hotel in Bridgend—gateway to County Donegal and Derry City—the dining is refreshingly relaxed, with no pomp or fuss, just good food done right. Menus champion hearty classics and local produce, from crisp fish and chips to slow-cooked roasts, generous salads, and indulgent desserts, all served piping hot and well presented. Service is a standout: the owner leads a friendly, attentive team who check in at the right moments and happily go the extra mile. You don’t need to be staying to enjoy a meal; it’s a handy stop on the main road out of Derry. Better still, fabulous food meets live entertainment at weekends, adding a buzz. Payment is in euros, with a fair rate for sterling.
