Their annual Mary from Dungloe weeklong festival at the end of July is the highlight of the summer, and it gets better every year. Fantastic bands! A parade! Buskers! Hill walk! Carnival! Loads of fun community events. Daniel O'Donnell around town! And the Crowning Cabaret, when the contestants compete for the title of Mary from Dungloe, is a wonderful event. I wasn't able to make it to the Cabaret this year but watched the event live on TG4.

Forget your Kerrys and Connemaras, when it comes to wild, rugged beauty, you cannot beat Donegal. Not only that the people here are so incredibly nice. Not least the owner of the Cois Farraige/Cois Daire cottages in Rathmullan. Siobhan was fantastic to deal with and both cottages were very reasonably priced, given how well they are kitted out. There were large flat screen tvs, good quality coffee machines and all of the rest mod cons. Siobhan has left lots of great material to work out the best activities to do here. Hiking is recommended and the stunning Glenveigh national park is nearby. High quality restaurants are within waking distance (Rathmullan house) and the pristine beach is yards away. Go off the beaten track, rain or shine, and treat yourself to a little piece of heaven in Donegal. (PS if you get the chance try to visit Tramore beach hidden away in Dunfanaghy. The most beautiful beach I have ever seen).

Looking for a great B&B experience in Donegal Town? Then look no further than Mary and Sean's…read moreArdeevin Guest House! We found the Ardeevin Guest House with good reviews on Tripadvisor. We booked through hotel apps (and were later told by the owners that doing so avoids the 15% upcharge through Bookings.com) and had no issues with that service. We did have a little trouble finding the place, even with the use of a GPS (our Garmin with Ireland map didn't have the house listed in its database), but we came in along what must have been the back way, since we did notice signs for the house along the entry route once we got our bearings. Make sure you email or call the owners prior to visiting; they'll tell you the town to plug into your GPS that will bring you straight to the house. We were greeted with a quick check-in and shown to our lovely downstairs room with a large window that faced a stunning view of Lough Eske and the rolling Irish farmland that dominates the local terrain. The house has a large sheep pen in the back, and the owners were more than willing to let my wife (a huge fan of animals) visit their sheep and admire the scenery from the back yard. The house in very nicely furnished, and the en suite bedroom was very cozy. A comfortable, warm bed with thick sheets, comforter, and pillows with a nice wardrobe and relatively roomy shower and sink. Even the water pressure was excellent. Guests are treated to a fantastic breakfast each morning, with attentive service by Sean (one of the owners), who parades out with Mary's excellent cooking. The breakfast selection is good enough to suit even the most demanding palettes. The house is very conveniently located, too, with easy access to Donegal Town (about 4.5 km down the road) and is about 40 minutes south of Letterkenny. For those looking for a more refined dinner experience than what can be found in town, you'll be situated only ten minutes from the Solis Lough Eske Castle, which is a relatively high-end luxury resort. We had dinner there one night and drinks another night; the Ardeevin House was a perfect jumping off point. All told, we had a magnificent B&B experience at Ardeevin House, and it would get our very highest recommendation to anyone we know that might travel to that part of Ireland and would be looking for an ideal B&B experience. Mary and Sean are tip-top hosts and are as sweet and as kind as can be.

The room was fine. The only irritation was the wait to be seated and nobody to be found around at breakfast - the breakfast was quite good but their porridge is close to the worst I've ever eaten. Breakfast machine coffee is poor but that's common enough. Check out was as easy as check in. We are happy to return and happy to stay longer next time. We had checked in advance on EV charging here as this was the first time I used my electric car on a long run around Ireland. It promises over 300 miles and delivered on the promise. The hotel has a few EV chargers and it worked very well. It was £1.85 standing charge just to use the unit and around 60 pence a kilowatt hour.

The Boyds are such nice hosts and we would have loved to have taken them out for dinner if we had more time in County Donegal. My wife and Mrs Boyd still e-mail and write each other. The house is behind the Donegal Airport, which is so small you need not worry about ANY noise. Two quiet beaches within walking distance and the most beautiful county in Ireland within an easy drive. When we get back to Ireland, we are going to spend an entire week with the Boyds and we are so looking forward to it. You will love your stay if this is where you stay while you visit western Donegal.

We had a great two nights here, using it as a base touring around this area. It was our second…read morebargain two night hotel break in Donegal, having travelled to here from Annagry and having spent three weeks in France shortly before we made it to Donegal. The hotel has limited wifi, which worked well around reception but we couldn't get it to work in the restaurant or breakfast rooms. It didn't work in our room. There are a number of brochures available in the reception promoting various attractions including the nearby Finntown railway, which runs along the edge of a huge brown trout lake in the shadow of a mountain and was fascinating. This entire county has to be one of the friendliest places on earth. No matter where we went, shopped, ate, toured and wandered around everyone was just so warm, friendly and welcoming. This hotel was no different; open friendly hard working people. The hotel was comfortable with our room a decent size, good decor, a double & single bed and a large bathroom. There was a flat screen tv on the wall. The food we had (haddock & chips €10) and prawn cocktail (€8) and night two we both had steak special) was all very good, fairly priced, the stout was excellent and the white wine served icily crisp. It was hectically busy in the restaurant especially on the Thursday night of our stay, mainly due to their sirloin steak special, €15 for a ten ounce steak, French fried onions, chips, peas and a pepper sauce. A few musicians also perform on Thursday nights. I'm sure the hard working staff are exhausted at the end of the night. We were tired just watching them. Parking is very limited at the front of the hotel and while there's a car park at the rear of the hotel there's no access from the car park. Breakfast was fine, the porridge superb followed by an Irish brekky fry of fried egg, pork sausage, bacon, black & white pudding and tomato. But we do restrict our intake of this sort of food. It's not just this hotel it's common in hotels to find cheap meats; cheap eggs, plastic skinned, fatty, salty sausage, fatty, salty, white pudding, cheap bacon and awful powdered coffee in hotels from one to five star. I'd prefer if hotels would use their buying power to purchase natural skinned meats, and better quality ingredients with a bit less fat and a bit less salt. I'd like to see the days of powdered coffee coming to a close - real coffee is so much better. We would return here.
