Update

Well, we won 'Best Customer Service', Donegal at the RAI Awards night at the Merchant. We had a lovely night but I had to go early as I had an early trip to Dublin the next morning for the Meitheal workshop in Dublin. Had a great two days selling to international tour operators and it was encouraging to see the interest in tourism in the North West.

Harvey's Point is fully open now for the season and we have had a great start so far with increased bookings compared to last year. Easter is just around the corner and we are planning lots of activities with our guests, such as wine tasting, cookery demonstrations, easter egg treasure hunt, rambles around Lough Eske and much more.

Mother's Day, Golf Convention, Restaurant Awards

Hoping all Irish Mammies had a lovely Mother's Day. Harvey's Point was full to the brim with lots of families celebrating in style at our Sunday Carvery Lunch. No cooking, no dishes, - great ! On Friday we hosted the Failte Ireland / IAGTO Golf Convention which brought international golf tour operators to the North West and it was very encouraging to see the interest in our region as a top quality golf destination. I will have to learn to 'speak Golf' ! This week we have an educational conference from the US and we also will be welcoming our dear friend, Dermot Kelly and his painters for four days of watercolour painting. Artists of all ages and levels come to enjoy painting in a relaxed and fun environment. I am off now to Belfast to attend the RAI's Annual Restaurant Awards. We have been nominated for 'Best Hotel Restaurant' and Best Customer Service' in Donegal. It should be a fun night in The Merchant with lots of good food, wine and networking.
