Inside the House

The lounges have remained true to their original design; with four main sitting rooms facing Lough Swilly, you will find roaring open fires in the winter or a view of our beautifully manicured lawns in the summer.

You can enjoy having a pre-dinner drink in Batts Bar, admiring the colonial Indian décor in the Raja Room or you could be engrossed in a novel in front of the library fire - you may simply be enjoying the peace and quiet in the adult only drawing room. There’s a room that suits everyone here. Our lounges are designed for comfort, ambiance and above all relaxation, the only problem being that you may not want to leave!

With the inviting waters of Lough Swilly on the doorstep of Rathmullan House, a dip in the ocean is always an option when you stay at Rathmullan House. For guests not quite willing to brave the Donegal elements, our 15m indoor swimming pool provides a much gentler opportunity to work on your backstroke.

Our heated swimming pool is open exclusively to guests at Rathmullan House and is open from 8am – 7.30pm. For families travelling to the house, the pool is an ideal location for afternoon fun for children. Outside of school holidays, our guests can look forward to finding a quiet swimming pool where they can relax, burn off some calories and build up an appetite for dinner in the Cook & Gardener restaurant.
