Homely B&B with unbelievable views. A quick drive into the centre of Donegal Town. Kristina is a great host and provided some very useful information around where to go in the local area.

Kristina's house is beautiful. I stayed in the king room as it had an ensuite. View was gorgeous and the area very quiet - rural. I would stay again - thank you!

True B&B hospitality
We had a lovely 3 day stay at Donamar House, the views from the house are beautiful. Kristina made us feel very welcome and could not have done more to look after us, nothing was too much trouble and her cooked breakfasts were a highlight. She is also very knowledgeable about the local area and this was really helpful. Only minor issue with accommodation is the shared bathroom but we knew about that when we booked and made our choice.

This was our favourite host in Ireland Christina handed us warm baked shamrock shortbread cookies upon arrival Later when we asked to borrow an iron she ironed and steamed a couple items herself She was very informative and gave great recommendations. We loved the people of donegal so warm and inviting. Small quaint town. Don’t miss Lough Eske Castle for a dinner !

Donegal charm + modern splendor
It surpassed all my expectations.Donamar overlooks a charming Irish lake peppered with tidy homes, but THIS home was spectacular ..perfect for our three generation family, so beautiful with a stunning, to-die-for bath. The beds were so comfy and the bedding the nicest ever. Christina and Gareth were so helpful and kind, especially to my "wee" grandson. And the breakfast was fabulous. My son now wants to return with his in-laws.

Super spot with stunning views.
We really enjoyed our 4 nights here. This is the perfect location for anyone wanting to explore Donegal. We spent time on Rossknowlagh and Murvagh blue flag beaches. Walked round lough Eske. Stood at the top of sliabh Liag cliffs and swam in the sea at Portnoo. Donegal is a foodies delight, we did not have a bad dish in any of the multiple eateries we dined in. Breakfast in Donamar house was substantial and tasty, a great set up for a busy day exploring. Our hosts, Christina and Gareth, were very friendly, helpful and informative. This is a great place to stay!
