Reveller Lodgings, a property with a bar, is located in Donegal, 13 km from Donegal Golf Club, 27 km from The Balor Theatre, as well as 27 km from Killybegs Maritime and Heritage Centre. The property is around 38 km from Narin & Portnoo Golf Club, 44 km from Raphoe Castle and 47 km from Beltany Stone Circle. Slieve League is 48 km away and Sean McDiarmada Homestead is 49 km from the guest house.

What a great location in the heart of Donegal! Really modern room above a very popular pub, but high enough above that we didn't hear a bit of pub noise. Lots of restaurants nearby, and Donegal Castle barely 5 minutes away. On-street parking is free from 6 pm on, and cheap at 0.50 euro/hour up to that time. Terrific base for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. One small gripe: the little green lights recessed in the ceiling that are always on, which are apparently required for emergency lighting in case of fire.

Situated within 20 minutes' walk of the town centre of Donegal, the 4-star boutique Donegal Manor offers baking classes. The award-winning and family-run property is ideal for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way.

The location was great, car needed but only a quick trip into Donegal town, lots of outdoor safe space for kids of all ages with games to play indoors and out. Great communication from the owner from the time of booking, helped me book horse riding and bike hire for our stay. Lovely fresh bread, eggs and milk left for us. And a very welcoming tour when we arrived to show us how everything worked. Phone number was given incase we needed anyway a all. Customer service was excellent.

Located in the heart of Donegal Town, the award-winning Atlantic Guest House is family-run establishment with free Wi-Fi and free, limited on-site parking. The guest house is less than 5 minutes’ walk from River Eske, leading to views of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Very friendly, helpful and professional. Above all, during our journey to Donegal we had a problem with our rental car and we arrived quite late, thanks to the kindness of the owners we could arrive and have a place to sleep. We appreciate it very much!

    I and my partner enjoyed our stay at the Eas Dun Lodge very much. The hosts were very kind and polite, and the room was very clean with fresh air (windows could easily be opened). We also got good tips for our stay (what to see, where to eat). The breakfast was excellent, especially the homemade bread and pancakes. It is easy to access Eas Dun Lodge by car, you can also take a taxi from Donegal (10-15 min drive. Locals drove much faster than we did). I would definitely consider staying here again :)

    Paul welcomed me on arrival to hand over the keys even though I arrived a bit earlier than expected. We chatted and he told me all the spots to check out while visiting and gave me top tips on where to get food & meet some locals. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious and the sheep in the neighbouring field were so charming. I'd happily go back and this time I'd stay a little longer.
