Search hotels in Downings

The perfect base for exploring North Donegal, close enough to Glenveagh National Park, Fanad lighthouse (via Harry Blaney Bridge) and Inishowen Peninsula (via ferry from Rathmullan) Ards Forest Park (and Friary) only 20 mins away is well worth a visit, the coastal walk from Friary leads to the most spectacular secluded beaches There are two wonderful beaches, Tra Beag in the town and Tra Mor just outside. Plenty of places to eat with two hotels in the village, plus Fisks for Sea food, The Galley for Gourmet Burgers, Goose and Gander for Pizza, as well as the Singing Pub just outside the village (Steak on the Stone)

Beautiful beaches, great golf, several really good restaurants in the village. Goose & Gander for cocktails and pizza Fisk for outstanding seafood The Old Glen Restaurant for a la carte The Harbour Bar for a pint Several other restaurants/cafes but did not try as had excellent kitchen in the Cottage.

The beaches were beautiful, you could go for lovely long walks, and with 2 dogs with us, this was great. Ards Forest Park was lovely and worth many visits. We ate in the Singing Pub a number of times, food was excellent. Takeaways from the Goose and Gander very good. Golf at Rosapenna Golf Courses challenging and enjoyable. Altogether a great week in Downing’s. We will be back, hopefully.

Downings is a beautiful small village very picturesque with fabulous beaches and views. A great pub and restaurant called {The Harbour Bar and Frisk ] lovely friendly staff, food was fab and the Guinness went down to well!!Also a beautiful golf course near by, lovely drives along the wild Atlantic Way too.

We had a lovely time in Downings except for the weather but as we are from Belfast we are used to it. It is a very scenic place very down with nature which is a lovely change. There are very few shops most of the town seems to be closed which is a pity. Having transport is a must, you can travel around, we weren't able to see things due to the weather but there is nothing you can do about that.

The accommodation was nice but could do with a bit of tlc, the view from the property was lovely and there was plenty of room for the dog to roam around. The beds were very comfy and the property was clean and tidy. Golf course nearby and a nice dog friendly pub five min drive away. A lovely beach and local shops for supplies. Will return one day maybe for a longer trip.
