One of my favorite B&B because how cozy the place is and how warm and caring Mary is! It is also accessible to great sightseeing points! I can’t image a better stay in Donegal than here and can’t wait to be back!

I had a wonderful stay at The WhiteStrand. Mary was wonderful and so helpful and I could see the water from my room. Amazingly quiet and gorgeous area. It was a 5 min walk down to the water and I had the whole beach to myself. Just wonderful ♥️

What a wonderful experience staying in this beautiful B&B in such a beautiful place. Malin Head is magical and Mary and her B&B made the experience as perfect as it can get. We can’t wait to visit again and we know there is no where else we would stay except the Whitestrand!

Outstanding views! Mary went above and beyond helping me track down my grandfathers childhood home, and family grave plot. Breakfast was hearty and tasty. Loved looking out the window at the sheep grazing next door. Look forward to returning!

Wonderful stay. The host is absolutely wonderful, and the view from the cottage is lovely. It's a short walk to the beach and to a nearby pub with great food. The breakfast was beyond incredible. I'd recommend everyone stay here!

Excellent accomodation
We arrived to a very nice welcome. When shown to accomodation we were very impressed with the facilities. We wished we had a longer stay because we were made to feel very welcome. The standard of cleanleness was 5* plus. We look forward to staying again either there or at one of their self catering apartments. Breakfast will not be forgotten for a while.

SUPERB WEE PLACE
Absolute fantastic stay, great views , excellent location, Mary our host was brilliant , very thoughtful and great knowledge off surrounding areas where to visit ect , which was extremely helpful as we didnt know half the places existed. We arrived at accommodation early and thankfully this wasn't a problem. Big spacious rooms , good sized ensuite with shower. Comfortable beds ( great nights sleep ) and breakfast was something else an absolute feast. Will definitely be back . A wee hidden gem 💎.

Loved our stay at Whitestrand
This is a lovely B&B just a short scenic drive from Malin Head (~10 min at most). We stayed only one night but wish we could have stayed longer! The inn and rooms are charming, bright and clean. And the host, Mary, is so warm and helpful. My husband and I are vegan and she very kindly accommodated our diets at the included breakfast the next morning. Could not recommend Whitestrand highly enough. We will certainly stay again our next time in the Malin area!
