The location was excellent. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. The reception area and restaurant were nice, however, the seating in the lobby/reception was outdated.
Discover a unique and diverse range of budget-friendly accommodations at our stunning location in northwest Donegal.

This is a unique place and I found it perfect for what I needed in all ways.
The "extra" care of staff...making a fire in the fireplace, kindness and attentive to my needs made it special.
Situated in Sheephaven Bay on the picturesque Atlantic Drive, this award-winning hotel offers fresh, locally sourced food and free Wi-Fi. Its spacious bedrooms offer luxury toiletries.

Séamus was very kind and spent a bit of time talking about things to go see. He's full of knowledge about the area so have a chat with him if you have time. He was also kind enough to upgrade us. The space is clean, quite, and views every direction! The kitchen accomodations were basic but had everything we needed. There's so much to do in the area. I wish we had even more time to spend here.

Accommodation was in a round tower building. Layout of the rooms was excellent with great views from the living room.

Dunfanaghy itself could have maybe another shop or two for appealing to tourists. I noticed bus trips stop there. Unfortunately a derelict hotel opposite Arnold’s hotel is a bit of an eye sore. Have heard it may have been purchased by a new owner so that may improve things.Arnold’s itself has good outdoor appearance.
In general seems a friendly community , and near a number of picturesque and beautiful beaches.

I love Donegal and would never leave without a visit to the old workhouse for a coffee, a browse in the craft shop and maybe pick up a used book or two. A staff member recommended a lovely walk this time around as well. Another favourite is a visit to Ards Friary, lovely coffee there too after a walk along the sea and a visit to the beautiful little beach, perfect for the grand-children so will have to let them into the secret. Ostan Loch Altan in Gortahork is a great wee place to eat and very reasonably priced too.

Very busy this time due to heatwave & the fact people had missed out on earlier holidays this year.
The beaches in Co Donegal are fabulous.
We ate in “ The Cove”, Arnold’s hotel & The Shannon hotel
Yes, easy to get round Dunfanaghy - just a long Main Street.
We would avoid week- ends too busy!

Close to the town but when you leave the town you benefit from escaping the noise and traffic to tranquil surroundings. Lovely rooms and great facilities. Made to feel very welcome and a relaxed atmosphere.
Well organised and breakfast was fantastic too.

The Cove restaurant was a very pleasant experience, beautiful food and friendly owner and staff. You have to try the fish.
Then the beach, what a beautiful day we had, friendly people too. Pity we couldn't try the horse riding because of covid.
This place was a slice of Paradise. It's more like a quaint hotel than a B&B. I traveled back to visit home in Ireland with my partner from Texas. He had never been and was amazed by this place too. HIGHLY recommend it.
The staff were really friendly. Breakfast was gorgeous. The first morning I had a full Irish, then next I had smoked Atlantic salmon and scrambled eggs all of which were cooked to perfection. They also had interesting things like vanilla seaweed pudding.
We loved our stay at The Mill. It is a beautiful and extremely comfortable property, with lovely gardens and a stunning view over the lake. Our hostess made us feel very welcome and shared good advice about nearby points of interest. We enjoyed excellent breakfasts in the warm, sunny dining room. There is a comfortable sitting room and also a conservatory where guests can relax, read a book, or share a glass of wine without feeling crowded in together.
There is a recycling bin that allows for segregation of rubbish and reducing black bin waste.
The location is the major plus as the property is only a short stroll into Dunfanaghy, which is a treasure of a town in Donegal.
The property was larger than expected and no problem with parking.
Great set up with range of accommodation and lovely garden/ grounds. Excellent breakfast, family friendly place. Well located for stunning beaches and the town of Dunfagnhy with all you could want for holiday - pubs/cafe restaurants/ supermarket etc.
Beautiful cosy house with a great location in Dunfanaghy and fantastic views of the beach.
Kitchen was very well equiped ,comfortable bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and lovely garden.
Very friendly and helpful host.
Would definitely return.
Breakfast at the mill was fantastic. Such a variety of food from the buffet and then a cooked breakfast. Kept us going all day. The mill is just at edge of village of Dunfanaghy in a very quiet location Everything was perfect.
It’s slap bang in the middle of Dunfanaghy, with its pubs, shops and cafes, and minutes from the beach. A good shower, too, and excellent communication. Good value for money compared with other places in the town.
As I am 7 months pregnant, I felt very last relaxed at the hotel and there was a good vibe about the place. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the spa and the staff couldn’t have been anymore accommodating.
just outside Dunfanaghy, hasn't moved since I went there 20+ years ago first time, hopefully still there in 20 years that I can take some grandkids to.
