We loved our stay at The Mill. It is a beautiful and extremely comfortable property, with lovely gardens and a stunning view over the lake. Our hostess made us feel very welcome and shared good advice about nearby points of interest. We enjoyed excellent breakfasts in the warm, sunny dining room. There is a comfortable sitting room and also a conservatory where guests can relax, read a book, or share a glass of wine without feeling crowded in together.
Discover a unique and diverse range of budget-friendly accommodations at our stunning location in northwest Donegal.

This is a unique place and I found it perfect for what I needed in all ways.
The "extra" care of staff...making a fire in the fireplace, kindness and attentive to my needs made it special.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
As I am 7 months pregnant, I felt very last relaxed at the hotel and there was a good vibe about the place. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the spa and the staff couldn’t have been anymore accommodating.
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.
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.
