A royal welcome awaits at Lough Eske Castle Hotel and Spa

It was a six hour road trip, but Lough Eske was worth every minute of the drive, says Martin Claffey.

THE end of every great journey deserves its reward; a place of rest for the weary traveller.

When it came to this particular trip along the Wild Atlantic Way, the Solis Lough Eske Castle Hotel and Spa in Co Donegal was my destination of choice for taking things at a slower pace and a break from the road.
