The location was excellent. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. The reception area and restaurant were nice, however, the seating in the lobby/reception was outdated.

Séamus was very kind and spent a bit of time talking about things to go see. He's full of knowledge about the area so have a chat with him if you have time. He was also kind enough to upgrade us. The space is clean, quite, and views every direction! The kitchen accomodations were basic but had everything we needed. There's so much to do in the area. I wish we had even more time to spend here.

Walking distance to a small beach, great ocean view, perfectly situated on the Wild Atlantic Way. Wonderful breakfast.

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.
A really fantastic place with an eclectic mix of accommodation from self catering to hotel rooms to glamping and camping!
Superb food (fish & chips for me) on site.
The owner was really friendly and mingled with guests at the outside eatery making sure everyone was happy.
The double room I booked was adequate but nothing special.
Breakfast was cancelled a couple of days before but I was refunded 15 euro immediately. I could also have had a voucher for Batch cafe nearby. I did end up going there and that was exceptional.
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.
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.
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.
Breakfast at the mill was fantastic. Such a variety of food from the buffet and then a cooked breakfast. Kept us going all day. The mill is just at edge of village of Dunfanaghy in a very quiet location Everything was perfect.
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.
beautiful cottage on outskirts of Dunfanaghy. Ursula had lovely fire waiting for us & some wine & chocolates. Beds very comfortable - everything you could need & stunning views. will definitely return!
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.
A fabulous hotel situated in Dunfanaghy. The spa facilities were extremely relaxing and couldn't recommend it enough! Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly.
