Staff excellent, helpful and friendly. Location was convenient. Breakfast was delicious!

Shane United States of America

Great breakfast ... maybe a choice of way eggs cooked could be added.

Joedad Ireland

Great stay, lovely accommodating staff. Great breakfast, would recommend to anyone.

Noelle Ireland

The B&B far outwayed the price we paid. The location was very central for day trips out. Bridgit & johnny were the best hosts very friendly and helpfull. We would go back again and have already told all our friends and family that it is an excellent place to stay.

Stephen Ireland

A beautiful B&B run by a lovely couple John and Bridgid in a great location for the town and all its amenities...very comfortable and highly recommended....5☆

Col Ireland

I couldn't recommend this place enough. The owners are so accommodating; I knew I would be arriving early, so Brigid said that my room would be ready, even though it was before check in time. I was staying for a funeral, and on the day of the funeral, Brigid's husband even gave me a lift to where I needed to be. They also allowed me to leave my bags with them until it was time for my flight as it was later in the afternoon. The breakfast was lovely and Brigid cooked whatever I requested and served it at a time that was suitabkle for me. The room was lovely; the bed was very comfortable and the room was cosy - much like you are staying with friends in their house! It was lovely. It is only a short walk into the town where there are lots of shops to have a browse and there are some lovely riverside / woodland country walks as well. Great location.

Sheila United Kingdom

Lovely B&B. Brigid & John very accommodating. Brigid even dropped us into town. Breakfast was very good.

Nadene United Kingdom

The en suite was very spacious. I had a fridge and microwave which was an added bonus. The breakfast was really tasty. My room was outside of the main house so I didn't feel I was disturbing anyone when I came in late.

Deirdre Ireland

Very friendly hosts, could not do enough to please me. Great communications, friendly relaxed atmosphere, great breakfasts, quiet, peaceful and comfortable bed, overall, a great stay.

Stephen United Kingdom

The owner was so welcoming, offered us tea or coffee on arrival, we asked for taxi number & Bridget the owner drove us to town. Breakfast was fantastic. I highly recommend Jonnys B&B.

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.9

Johnny B's B&B is very popular holiday destination for visitors to Ballybofey. The accommodation is just five minutes walking distance from the town's shops and main hotels, including Jackson's Hotel, Villa Rose Hotel and Kee's Hotel. Johnny B's is close to all of Ballybofey's many night spots. Testament to the growing popularity of Johnny B's is the increasingly high number of guests who come back time and time again. Please kindly note that rooms 'Twin Room with Shower' and 'Double Room with Extra Bed' are not connected to the main residence but just (200mts.) a 2 minute walk in the direction of the town center. They have a private entrance and additional car parking.

Brigid and John Lyons are your hosts at this attractive family-run Donegal bed and breakfast and with three daughters helping out an excellent service is guaranteed.

Angling: For the serious angler there is the nearby River Finn with its plentiful stocks, particularly of salmon from March to May. The renowned Salmon Leap at Cloghan hold a particular attraction for visitors. On the River Reelin, trout of the sea, coarse and brown varieties are also plentiful. Ballybofey is only a short drive away from Lough Eske. The name means 'Lake abounding in fish' and the three mile long lough is set at the foot of the Blue Stack Mountains. It fishes Salmon, brown and white/Sea Trout. In November there is a tradition of fishing for char, only one of four lakes in Ireland that have them. GAA: McComhaill Park, Ballybofey is the where Donegal GAA plays its home games. Soccer: Donegal's only professional soccer club, Finn Harp of the League of Ireland, plays at finn Park. Golf: Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club has an 18 hole course which is one of the most picturesque in the North West of Ireland. As the golfers go round this testing parkland course they can admire the views of the Finn Valley and the Donegal mountains.
