John, Caroline, Sally, Lily and Tullan Stephens were the prize winner of Discover Ireland promotional event which focused on the Wild Atlantic Way and encouraging Irish holidaymakers to get out and discover the wonders of the west coast touring route.

It was to create excitement in the run up to the Ryan Tubridy 2fm Roadcaster Tour took place in Strandhill village this week (Monday 7th July to Friday 11th July). Ryan was broadcasting at a different location along the Wild Atlantic Way every day. The prize winners, the Stephens family took their holiday this week and reported back into 2FM daily about how they were getting on.

Here is a snippet of what Carolina had to say about her experience at Smugglers Creek on Wednesday the 9th July at the Nicky Byrne show on Thursday 10th July at 1:50pm:

“We went to Rossnowlagh and we had dinner at Smugglers Creek overlooking the beach there, it was just fantastic. I think it was really the best seafood I think I’ve ever had, it was just delious. I’ll recommend the trip alone for the food in Smugglers, it was brilliant.”

Smugglers Creek Inn was delighted to have the opportunity to cater for the Stephens Family and we look forward to welcoming them back in the not too distant future!

Smugglers Creek Inn was voted as one of the “21 pubs you must visit in Ireland before you die” by The Daily Edge, part of the Journal.ie which is an Irish news website that invites its users from Ireland, the world and the web to shape the news agenda.

A top place with good food, but the real star here is the view. Overlooking Rossnowlagh bay, you can sit and watch the surfers or just look out to the Atlantic. Glorious.” by Michael Freeman, dailyedge.ie

Happy 4th Birthday to Smugglers Creek Inn!

Smugglers Creek Inn in Pencial DrawingIt is hard to believe that it has been four years since I took over Smugglers Creek Inn. Although the business has gone from strength to strength, but it was opened during a difficult economic time and I wouldn’t have managed without the continuous support from my staff and customers. So, a big “thank you” to all of you who helped to make Smugglers Creek Inn one of best destination restaurant in Donegal. I have great plans for the future, including the long-awaited new conservatory dining area which will seat over 50 people and the completion of renovation of all the bedrooms in Spring 2014.
