Nothing. We booked late and ended up with twin room which wasn't a big deal but next time we'll book early and get a double room.
Lovely host. Great breakfast. Spotlessly clean. First class.

Never able to find anything we did'nt like!
This was our third stay with Sile at the Gap Lodge We only ever return to a B&B if we know that everything about it is going to be very good and exactly what we need in our travels - great from our point of view for travelling further West,North or South.

Lovely B & B - Everything was spotless and the host, Sheila, was most charming & delightful! Would definitely stay here again if we are ever lucky enough to return to the Donegal area. Very easy to find and even though it was raining and icky outside, it was most comfortable inside. Breakfast was perfect. (Just for comparison sake, we stayed at a hotel in another part of Ireland (west side, near Dublin) that was twice as expensive and not half as nice.) Thank you very much!!
