Loved staying here!!! Attention to detail and comfort 100%. Stayed 2 nights and felt very relaxed. Breakfast was some of the nicest I’ve had in Ireland. Highly recommend a stay here!

Paul Canada

Immaculately presented, spotless and wonderful host

Merilyn Australia

I liked the simplicity yet efficiency of the whole place, from how it is run, clean and comfortable beds, excellent breakfast menu and presentation of food, I will definitely visit again once I am heading to Donegal for a longer stay.

Anthony Ireland

It was my first time staying in a B&B. It exceeded my expectations! The breakfast was really well served and Sile was really friendly and welcome with us. I asked her to leave a cake and wine to my boyfriend for when we arrive because his birthday was this week...and I could see she prepared it with love. I will definitely recommend the place to my friends.

Jessica Ireland

Spotlessly clean, super comfy beds, amazing host, great breakfast

Kate Ireland

The view of the mountains around the B&B is lovely. The staff is welcoming and the breakfast was delicious. :)

Shivani Ireland

Oh my goodness, it was the best hospitality i have ever experienced in a long time. Sile was lovely, welcoming, and engaged with us every morning which i found it amazing. Great with names as well.. Our room was very clean, was changed every morning, Breakfast on point and the view was beautiful. Keep that hospitality going Sile.

Kago Ireland

The location is amazing, the host Sile is so friendly and she recommended the best place to eat in Donegal definitely must go place for everyone. The room was so clean and warm. The living room area is so cozy to play games. Highly recommend this place.

Naida Ireland

Room very comfy clean and warn. Nice and quiet. The Breakfast is fantastic and dining room really nice. Thank you Sile for a lovely stay and I would recommend it highly.

Patrick Ireland

The Gap is conveniently located just outside of Donegal City. It was easy to find and a good central location for numerous day trips in the surrounding areas. We immediately felt welcomed and at-home by our hostess, Sile. She was very attentive to our needs and helpful with our plans for the several days we spent there. The accommodations are excellent; modern baths, luxury furnishings and everything is spotless. It was very comfortable and restful. Breakfasts were cooked to order from a varied menu. Our complements to the chef! Everything was delicious. We didn't want to leave, but we'll be back. It was our best stay in Ireland!

We are a small friendly ,happy ,laidback, and well run B/B . We take great care to please our guests and treat them like family and make sure they are warm and relaxed. Our breakfast menu is a great hit and we cater for all needs.

I am the owner of the Gaplodge and have been running a B/B for 26years. Made great friends with guests coming back every year. I was in the Hotel work for over 20 years and gained my experience and am still loving it. I love meeting people.
