Beautiful spot just on the edges of this lovely town - a ten minute walk but we also used taxis and that was never an issue. The views are amazing and a gorgeous garden to sit in and admire them. Everything was such good quality and the breakfasts just delicious with all options of breakfast delights available. Everyone was so friendly and lovely and we had a great time. Thank you 🙏

A fantastic house in a brilliant location. Loved our walks to the beach in the evening . House was well equipped and check in was smooth. There's loads of books, consoles and video games and board games to keep kids entertained if the weather is bad. We'll def be back

Dunfanaghy itself could have maybe another shop or two for appealing to tourists. I noticed bus trips stop there. Unfortunately a derelict hotel opposite Arnold’s hotel is a bit of an eye sore. Have heard it may have been purchased by a new owner so that may improve things.Arnold’s itself has good outdoor appearance.
In general seems a friendly community , and near a number of picturesque and beautiful beaches.

I love Donegal and would never leave without a visit to the old workhouse for a coffee, a browse in the craft shop and maybe pick up a used book or two. A staff member recommended a lovely walk this time around as well. Another favourite is a visit to Ards Friary, lovely coffee there too after a walk along the sea and a visit to the beautiful little beach, perfect for the grand-children so will have to let them into the secret. Ostan Loch Altan in Gortahork is a great wee place to eat and very reasonably priced too.

Very busy this time due to heatwave & the fact people had missed out on earlier holidays this year.
The beaches in Co Donegal are fabulous.
We ate in “ The Cove”, Arnold’s hotel & The Shannon hotel
Yes, easy to get round Dunfanaghy - just a long Main Street.
We would avoid week- ends too busy!

Close to the town but when you leave the town you benefit from escaping the noise and traffic to tranquil surroundings. Lovely rooms and great facilities. Made to feel very welcome and a relaxed atmosphere.
Well organised and breakfast was fantastic too.

The Cove restaurant was a very pleasant experience, beautiful food and friendly owner and staff. You have to try the fish.
Then the beach, what a beautiful day we had, friendly people too. Pity we couldn't try the horse riding because of covid.
The location is great, easy to access, at the edge of Dunfanaghy and is very quiet and peaceful at a loughside.
The Mill has a lovely, mellow feel and is calm. The bedroom was very comfortable and I liked that there was water in the bedroom, as well as homemade oatie biscuits. The breakfast buffet was carefully displayed with a good range of options, overnight oats, smoothies etc. and there was superb range of cooked breakfast options. My full Irish cooked breakfast was perfection.
This place was a slice of Paradise. It's more like a quaint hotel than a B&B. I traveled back to visit home in Ireland with my partner from Texas. He had never been and was amazed by this place too. HIGHLY recommend it.
The staff were really friendly. Breakfast was gorgeous. The first morning I had a full Irish, then next I had smoked Atlantic salmon and scrambled eggs all of which were cooked to perfection. They also had interesting things like vanilla seaweed pudding.
What a fantastic accommodation for our weekend break. Right in the centre of Dunfanaghy, and close to a great beach walk. The views in the morning from the bay window seat were stunning. Gillian, the owner, popped round to say hello on the Friday. The house was spotlessly clean, the beds comfortable, and a well stocked kitchen, with plates, cutlery, pots and pans. By far, this is the best accommodation we've been to for many, many years. We'll done Gillian.
This house was very spacious, clean and stocked with everything we needed for our short stay. The hosts thought of everything with plenty of food in the kitchen, towels in the bathrooms and lots of books and colouring books for kids. The location was very good, a short walk to Port na Blagh and a short spin into Dunfanaghy. We had a great time here and would highly recommend staying here.
There is a recycling bin that allows for segregation of rubbish and reducing black bin waste.
The location is the major plus as the property is only a short stroll into Dunfanaghy, which is a treasure of a town in Donegal.
The property was larger than expected and no problem with parking.
Apartment was, really comfortable and clean with all the amenities you wanted. It was just off the main square in Dunfanaghy, 2 mins walk to shops, bars and restaurants. Ann was very helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. Will definitely stay here again.
Very clean apartment with good facilities. Nicely decorated, cosy and comfortable. Only a few minutes drive into Dunfanaghy. Wi-Fi was good and we were able to sit out on the sun chairs at the porch on sunny afternoons. We will definitely come back and stay.
Great set up with range of accommodation and lovely garden/ grounds. Excellent breakfast, family friendly place. Well located for stunning beaches and the town of Dunfagnhy with all you could want for holiday - pubs/cafe restaurants/ supermarket etc.
Hotel is in a great location, amazing views - go for the sea view room (the rooms at the back of the hotel just look on to a hill). Rooms are basic but clean. Restaurant is fantastic - food and service was excellent.
A great historic hotel in the center of Dunfanaghy. We really enjoyed our stay. We had breakfast and some dinners in the hotel restaurant, which were very good. The staff & room were great.
If this B&B were a Hotel it would be at least a 4 star. Wonderful location and setting and the host Susan was the definition of kindness and hospitality . Awesome breakfast.
Fantastic view of beach. Rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable.
Beach and Dunfanaghy were a short distance away. Host Oisin was very accommodating and helpful.
