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.

Very beautiful location ... relaxing with wonderful serene views of Sheephaven bay ... an excellent location for our Irish Linen luxury Heritage designs photoshoot & introduction to our new Collections ... Weather was a little disappointing on the second day but still enjoyed exploring the village of Dunfanaghy .. beautiful Irish Craft shop on Main Street ... also enjoyed Oyster’s restaurant and bar for a light lunch and glass of wine. Definitely planning to return to the beautiful Shandon Hotel very soon for a relaxing break ...and to walk and paint the stunning sea views in oils ... first class and excellent hair salon and spa ... Thank you very much for a very comfortable trip.
Loved our stay at Annes house.
The house itself has absolutely everything you could need. Kitchen has every type of utensil you could think of. Beds were very comfortable, house was very clean. Anne was great to communicate with as well, Very prompt and helpful!
The house itself is set about 8 minutes drive from Dunfanaghy, We liked that we were a bit outside of the town, you would definitely not get the views or peace and quiet if you were in the centre. We Would love to come back!
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.
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.
Am delighted to have stayed in this beautiful, fully equipped apartment with an amazing sea view. The location was superb. It is close to shops, restaurants, church and local amenities. The host was incredibly helpful and easily contacted if need be. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in Portnablagh, Dunfanaghy or surrounding area.
A cosy and beautiful place to stay. Around 1K outside of Dunfanaghy town, with exceptional views and quietness. A lovely short walk into the town. The house was very clean and cosy. Ursula was helpful and really made the experience superb. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you!
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.
Breakfasts was amazing, everything prepared with care, and attention to detail. Great choice from the cereals, juice, breads ( divine), fruits and the cooked breakfast too. Better than the best breakfast I have had in any 4/5 star hotel.
Beautiful cosy house with a great location in Dunfanaghy and fantastic views of the beach.
Kitchen was very well equiped ,comfortable bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and lovely garden.
Very friendly and helpful host.
Would definitely return.
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.
It’s slap bang in the middle of Dunfanaghy, with its pubs, shops and cafes, and minutes from the beach. A good shower, too, and excellent communication. Good value for money compared with other places in the town.
Perfect location to explore surrounding area. Beautiful beaches and close to Glenveagh National Park. Delicious breakfast was included with our stay. Hotel bar had live music. Highly recommend!
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.
It was really cosy and warm in the hotel and it had a lovely lobby to sit in and read the papers in front of an open fire.The food was excellent and the staff were all so helpful.
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.
just outside Dunfanaghy, hasn't moved since I went there 20+ years ago first time, hopefully still there in 20 years that I can take some grandkids to.
