Best B&B I've stayed in. Breakfast was amazing. I had to contact Anne with a few queries prior to arrival. She is so friendly and helpful. We stayed as we had a wedding nearby but it would also be a lovely place to stay to relax in the beautiful surroundings.

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.5

We live in a 200 year old cottage in a semi rural location . It is wonderfully peaceful and yet only 5 mins from ,Letterkenny , The Wild Atlantic Way and The Causeway Coastal route. The house is old and quirky , filled with finds from our travels and antique and vintage furniture . We have woodburning stoves (usually with a cat warming himself in front of them) , beamed ceilings and cosy window seats with a view of the stream which runs at the back of the property . In our large garden we have a mini cottage where you are welcome to light the outside fire ,sit on the deck and stargaze . We provide a continental breakfast only ,,which comprises of fresh fruit ,yoghurt ,several types of cereal and bread ,tea /coffee and juice . If you have any dietary needs please make me aware before you arrive as I am more than happy to cater for you.

We are a middle aged couple who love welcoming guests into our home . We adore cinema and travelling . My husband is an avid golfer and my passion is history .We love a good chat and are always available and willing to help .

We live in a beautiful semi rural location just 5 km from Letterkenny . Our road is a popular walking and cycling route with Lough Swilly just at the bottom of the road . The golfclub is 2 mins away ,there is a bowling alley nearby a go karting place at the top of the road and a spa nearby and we are very close to some spectacular beaches and beautiful drives along The Wild Atlantic Way and The Causeway Coastal route or indeed off the beaten track we can provide directions, maps and information to help you discover all the best that Donegal has to offer.
