10. Donegal Manor

Donegal

"Depending on how much you pay, this is a good place to stay if looking for somewhere near Donegal Town with parking facility. As a guest house it mainly has classic decor/furniture style and although it feels homely, maintenance needs were evident. Security is relatively basic for a quiet location out of town, particularly room doors operated by key alone. Breakfast service is good as were the staff helpful and welcoming."

What a gorgeous place to stay, sadly not for long enough! Stayed in the coach house, spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and pillows. Great breakfast with lots of choice. What made it more special was the staff, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Intend to book again and stay in one of the rooms in the house. Did not get an opportunity to try the restaurant but had a lovely stroll around the grounds and walled garden. A hidden gem!
