Wonderful historic architecture. Friendly host and staff. Beautiful views. Tasty food.
IrelandJohn was so gracious and welcoming. We felt like we were being welcomed into his precious family home. We arrived late (10pm) in the dead of winter. John opened the bar and chatted with us, giving us local info. He is interested and interested. We couldn't have found a better place for the night, and we will be back when we return to Ardara. Besides having a gracious host, Woodhill House is beautiful and loved: snowdrops and crocuses lined the driveway and family photos lined the stairs.
United States of AmericaWe liked everything: beautiful grounds and gardens, gracious home steeped in history, superb food - gourmet dining and lovely breakfasts, ambiance in the lounge, delightful hosts - John and his son James. Perfect retreat in gorgeous Ardara. This was by far, our favorite accommodation in Donegal.
United States of AmericaThe Woodhill House is over the top wonderful... staff awesome...treat yourself when in Adara!
United States of AmericaWhat an amazing property! I spent an hour the first evening sitting on my balcony overlooking the beautiful garden and just enjoying the birdsong. I would have done that each night if it hadn't been raining! And John was a wonderful host and a great conversationalist at the bar, serving me the best Irish whiskey I've ever tasted.
United States of AmericaBeautiful location and amazing charm. Also a very good restaurant and bar and friendly staff. The gardens are wonderful!
United States of AmericaThe house is in a lovely location that feels remote but is a short walk to town. The room was comfortable and the bar/dining area had plenty of charm.
United States of AmericaThe location was perfect. It was a short walk through a small country trail to the town. The Host, Johnathan was a charm and so helpful. He poured a perfect Guinness. The gardens were well maintained and an unexpected pleasure.
United States of AmericaJohn was fantastic! Loaned us his map and gave us a full day itinerary in the area. Made our stay in Donegal even better.
United States of AmericaScenic location, great accommodations and hospitality, magical garden, friendly town. Stop by Doherty's for hand-loomed woolen blankets etc. One of the best - we will be back.

Surrounded by beautiful tranquil countryside and well-kept gardens, this charming family-run country house offers comfortable accommodations, tasty fresh food and a traditional Irish welcome.
Just a short walk from the very heart of Ardara, overlooking the beautiful Donegal Highlands, Woodhill House is surrounded by its own attractive grounds and has its own old walled garden. The house is just half a mile from the ocean and 1,300 feet from the center of the coastal town of Ardara.
This coastal manor house has a long and rich history, with some parts of the original building dating back to the 17th century. Today the hotel offers peace and quiet in a wonderful tranquil location, as well as a small bar with a real open fireplace and a good restaurant in the old house.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
