Donegal Hotel Guide - Ardnamona Gardens hotels in Donegal, Ireland.

"Hotel Location is great. Easy to find just off the high street in Ballybofey. There’s a small car park out front but also a massive overflow car park with cctv around the back. Free to park. Lovely staff at the hotel. They sorted an extra night stay for us without issue and even price matched to a cheaper price from their website. Room was ideal for us 2 adults and 2 kids. Double bed and 2 singles. There’s no aircon which is a shame and the hotel is very hot, a fan is supplied which helped however. Bathroom was ok, floor tiles a little loose but not dangerous, and toilet roll holder in a weird position behind your elbow. Shower was the only real downside as it was very low on pressure. Breakfast was great. Hot buffet with the obvious stuff, sausage, bacon, egg, white/black pudding, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, and sundries including cereals and pastries. Big pots of tea and coffee served to your table too. Bars and restaurants all nice. Food there was great. Kids ate each meal as did we. No complaints with any of it and very reasonably priced. Surrounding area is lovely - a great series of walks by the river, some lovely little cafe/bars on the high street and good mainstream shops if you need supplies (Aldi/Lidl 5 min walk)"

"The clients obviously enjoyed the birds feeding on the piers at the lake, but the staff should know not to feed them bread. Seeds and mealworms would be better. "

"I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. While it is correctly located in the heart of Donegal Town, very little else matched the description. It is advertised as an “award-winning” guesthouse, which was difficult to understand given the overall experience. The rooms were neither bright nor airy, but small, tired, and carried a strong smell of stale grease and dirt. The walls were so thin that we could clearly hear neighbouring guests talking, snoring, and using the bathroom. The staff were disinterested and rude, which only added to the poor experience. Breakfast was also misleadingly described, what was presented as a full Irish or continental option amounted to little more than greasy food or a basic bowl of cereal. The property also advertises free limited on-site parking however, this was only suitable for motorcycles, so it was effectively unavailable. Overall, the hotel did not match its advertised standards. The only redeeming feature was the location and the friendliness of the wider Donegal community."

"The room was clean and the staff were very pleasant. Parking is a 2minute walk from the hotel "

"We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and well maintained property for our trip. Close to town and the shops but with all the charm and solitude of the countryside. Julie was a gracious host, very quick to respond prior to our arrival. No need to reach out during our trip as the book in the house details everything you need to know. A lovely gathering space for larger groups! "

"Lovely breakfast and wonderfully happy and friendly staff, Effie is amazing. She gave ideas of where to eat and sightsee. Our flights were cancelled the night before so our drive in was hurried and we appreciated getting our room early. Definitely would stay here again! "
