Hotels near Donegal Airport - CFN, Dungloe

This family run hotel is a hidden gem for anyone who likes to feel at home straight away. The relaxed atmosphere in the place and the very friendly owner Pauline and her staff made our stay there very special. Would definitely go back when covid restrictions are lifted so that we could get to meet all the locals

Although only there for a short while Bunbeg has all the ingredients of the mystic west. The sunset was spectacular over the beach. Bád Eddie (Eddies boat) on Bunbeg's Magheraclogher beach, in Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore) is a must see. The official story is that the boat was stranded on the beach but we heard from a good source that Eddie did it deliberately. He beached the boat in order to fit a new engine but he was going through a divorce and his wife asked for her share of the boat so he never repaired it.

The hotel itself was very clean and the staff were helpful and friendly which made it easier to relax and enjoy. Annagry and surrounds are in the heart of Irish speaking Donegal with a variety of bars and restaurants.

Kincasslagh is a tiny hamlet north of Dungloe. The walk to Kincasslagh Pier is relaxing and lovely. It's a nice place to stay and get away from it all, but I'd recommend having a car, as bus service is limited, and local services are minimal (one small market, and pub that's often closed).

Teach Hudí Beag is a fantastic pub, with excellent staff, the most wonderful traditional music sessions on Friday nights and (I think) Monday nights, and Irish the spoken language throughout. Caife Chití just opposite is the perfect place for breakfasts, salads, lunches. And the tours in nearly Croithlí distillery are both entertaining and informative --- the whiskey tastings are great too!!!!

This is a great, quiet friendly countryside village (Pub, restaurant, pizza place petrol station around the corner). The next town is a 14-minute drive with all the amenities you need. (Lidl, Aldi, Supervalu, etc.)
