“We felt like we were leaving family after the wonderful attention and hospitality Nuala showed.”

All we can say is WOW WOW WOW! This was one of the most wonderful experiences we can say we have ever had in our lives. The Pennsylvania House is a beautiful place with an amazing view of the classic Ireland countryside. Very picture perfect and gives you a wonderful foundation for all of the beautiful scenic views that Ireland has to offer. But even more than that the owner, Nuala Duddy is one of the most friendly and charming people we could have ever imagined to meet. She would always ask us in the morning during our wonderful traditional Irish breakfast what we were doing for the day. Then she would offer insight into where we were going or offer suggestions of other things we might enjoy in the area. When we returned back to the B&B she was very quick to offer a “wee cuppa & biscuit” and enjoyed hearing about our day. She was truly interested to hear if we enjoyed the sights we saw. We were also quite interested in the local culture and she was very insightful into giving us a glimpse of what it was like in the local area. I think you could stay at every B&B in the whole of Ireland and never find another proprietor that would put more of her heart and soul into making sure you are enjoying your visit. Would very highly recommend The Pennsylvania House to anyone that was planning on staying anywhere near the Donegal County area. We cannot say more about how much we truly enjoyed our visit here.

First of all, it's hard to believe tat their B&B is "award winning", as is stated on their website. It is not situated "in a central location". At least not what tourists without cars would consider central (i.e. it is not within reasonable walking distance of a town). It also is not as they had suggested "a base for you to explore northern Ireland", it's too far!! You can't spend money and time going to Northern Ireland and then come all the way back to sleep at this B&B. They need to stop calling it luxurious, it's an average B&B, that's it! The woman (the owner I presume) is a little overbearing and overwhelming, while the man (her husband?) is really really unfriendly and makes you feel unwanted and uncomfortable.

Ireland is my destination these past nine years. Letterkenny is home to a dear friend whom I have visited the last four years. Pennsylvania House is spotless, has a spectacular view, excellent breakfast, and answers to your questions.

Nuala made this experience far exceed our expectations - she should teach classes in how to be a B&B hostess! Upon arriving, we were offered homemade tea, and she sat with us and talked about our trip and the area. Room was immaculate, bathroom spotless, had two vanities. Huge bed. Awesome breakfast. Nuala was ALWAYS around if we had questions. She made you feel like you were staying with family. If you are planning on being within 50 miles of Letterkenny, BOOK THE PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE!
