Great location only a couple of minutes from the centre of town and with the lovely River Walk only a short walk away. I had a large room, nicely furnished and with a good bed and a great powerful shower. Spotlessly clean and with a warm and friendly welcome from the owners. Recommended.

The hotel was just a short distance to the main street of shops and the River Walk, was also a short distance, the opposite direction. Not sure what made the sounds at night, in the area, but sounded like a fog horn sounding every few minutes and something like a pump turning on and off. Maybe the locals are use to the sounds, but for one night, hard to sleep.

The place is really well located! Many food options around and many beautiful places to hike and photograph! The host of this place is awesome and knows the area so well! Some people are made to work with tourists, she definitely is one of those people! When ever I go back to Dungloe, I will without any hesitation go back to this B&B! Thank you for this enjoyable stay!

Gastfreundliches B&B in wunderschöner Natur
Wir wurden sehr freundlich und herzlich in dem äußerst schönen Haus aufgenommen. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet und hatte gute Betten. Herausragend: die Gastfreundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft im Haus.
