Managed by Anthea and Ken
Company info
After working and travelling across the world, Donegal native Anthea has returned to her roots with her American husband Ken. By combining famous Irish hospitality with good old fashioned U.S. customer service, their vision was to create a comfortable and affordable base from which to explore this wonderful part of Ireland. And the result was The River House.
Property info
The River House is a multifaceted accommodation on the Wild Atlantic Way located in the Northern Headlands in the town of Dungloe. Conveniently placed on the N56 and a two minute walk from a vibrant main street but with the sounds of the River to lull you, we make you feel like family with excellent customer service and care. On site free parking, free WiFi, Netflix, USB ports, emergency care packs - even laundry service and bike rental. Everything is designed to make your stay comfortable and worry free.

Pointing you in the right direction to make memories you never dreamt of; to delve deeper into the area and to connect with nature and wander off the beaten track.

Nothing is impossible; we are here for you. See what we mean when we say we are ‘Simply more than a B&B’ Anthea, Ken and team.
