| Seamus Donnelly |
|
Beech Hill’s co-owner, is a wine expert and he orders all the bottles that are stored in the hotel’s cellar. You’ll generally find him behind the bar, always ready for a chat.
Seamus says you should come to Beech Hill because it is different to all other hotels. “There’s great tranquillity, great charm and character, great food and pleasant staff to care for you. And the gardens and woodland walks are wonderful. There’s not another hotel to touch Beech Hill,” he says.

| Patsy O'Kane |
|
Is Beech Hill’s owner. She and her brother, Seamus Donnelly established this as one of Northern Ireland’s top hotels nearly 20-years ago. You are just as likely to see her serving breakfast or working in the kitchen garden as greeting VIPs.
Patsy says: “If you want to be looked after, this is the place. You will get a true Irish welcome from me and from the other members of my family and from all our staff.”
While she has welcomed former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hilary, top designer Tommy Hilfiger, senator Edward Kennedy and scores of the big names of show-business Patsy has no favourites. “Everyone who comes to Beech Hill rightly expects special treatment. They all get it,” she says.

A gritty, sports-loving Yorkshireman, is our head chef. He came to us after working with Marco Pierre White and then touring the world as executive chef for a Formula One motor racing team, cooking for not only the drivers but for royalty and the big stars of show business.
Trevor’s imaginative use of the very freshest, top quality local ingredients delights restaurant diners at Beech Hill and his weekly food page in the Sunday Journal and Donegal on Sunday is read by thousands.
Among the things Trevor likes here - the marvellous meat, fish and vegetables that are available in the local area - and the ever-growing number of regulars in his restaurant!

| Conor Donnelly |

Sales and marketing manager, is Brenda’s brother. His role is crucial to Beech Hill’s commercial well-being. A similar job in the United States and a stint at the famed Harvard Business School has prepared him well.
Conor is attracting more special events to Beech Hill, often using the hotel’s superbly equipped marquee (it has its own kitchens and bar) not only for trade fairs, exhibitions, jazz concerts and society weddings but for a whole range of social, commercial and educational affairs.

| Brenda Donnelly |
|
| Seamus’s daughter, is a talented graphic designer but at Beech Hill she helps look after reception. It’s a job that suits Brenda because she likes meeting people. “I find all our guests interesting,” she says. “They come from all parts of the world and they all have something to say. So many of them remark on how relaxed they feel here and how much they like the family atmosphere.” |
