Mary and Hugh, the proprietors, were friendly, super helpful, and ready to chat about anything at all. Breakfast was fabulous (the only place in Ireland that offered kippers!), the room very clean and quiet (apart from the occasional baa of the sheep!). The house with its beautiful garden is just a 15-minute walk into town (though there are just a couple of dinner options there).

Joachim United States of America

We were so comfortable in every way from the moment we arrived. Our hosts treated us so well by the time we left we felt like we were leaving respectful friends. The cleanliness was superior and we would definitely return.

Jean United States of America

Everything about it here was perfect! The breakfast was delicious with homemade bread. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and quiet. Perfect location away from the crowds, but a 15 minute walk to town to go to pubs and restaurants if you wanted. The location was great for exploring the Northern part of Ireland. The hosts were amazing! Friendly, personable, and able to recommend things if you need them to

Jonathan United Kingdom

The Irish are famous for their hospitality and you can find plenty here. Mary and Hugh are welcoming and attentive hosts that go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Definitely recommended.

Elisa Ireland

A very warm and welcome stay at Avalon. Very accommodating hosts. Comfortable room. Not a very big room but plenty of space for myself and my young son. Nice touch on the accessories.

Ciara Ireland

We had a great stay with Mary and Hugh at their B&B. Mary and Hugh were extremely friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable, very clean and a great size. The location was perfect. You could easily walk into town in 10 minutes and drive to all the main sites around Donegal, plenty of parking at the B&B. Breakfast every morning was very tasty, it set us up for the day. We couldn’t recommend Avalon more highly. You’ll have a great stay.
