Nestled in the valley between Rachtion Mor and the Atlantic ocean on the Inishowen Peninsula the Glen house has something for everyone. It is a perfect location for lovers of history, hill walking, bird watching or just exploring the fantastic countryside and beaches on offer. We are within a 5 minutes driving distance from the renowned Ballyliffin championship golf club. We are a family run guest house with 9 en-suite bedrooms. All rooms have tea/coffee making facilities, TV, direct dial telephone, and hair dyers. The rooms offer beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and our two executive rooms have ocean views, with room 1 even getting a glimpse of Malin Head! Rose Tearoom at the Glen house offers guests the chance to relax over tea and cream scone while taking in the beautiful local scenery. Glenevin Waterfall, which is entered via a connecting bridge from Glen House is a beautiful forty foot waterfall which has to be your must visit while staying at the Glen House.

A family member had stayed here previously when Doris Russo owned it and stated the location was 'Out of this World.' Plans were being made to visit when the Waterfall and setting was badly damaged by flooding in August 2017. I was thrilled when the stars and sun aligned and Sonia had availability over the October Bank Holiday. The location is ' Out of this World' I was absolutely mesmerized as I parked my vehicle and viewed the Uris Hills across from the front of Glen House B & B, in a moment Sonia opened the front door and warmly welcomed me to Glen House. In no time I was seated in the Sitting room with a pot of tea and treats in front of me, after a bit of refreshment, I soon was settling into a lovely bedroom upstairs overlooking the path to Glenevin Waterfall, I quickly changed my footwear and off I went with my camera in hand to explore this gorgeous location, It was everything and more, within the hour I was back and decided to take a short rest before heading out to dine. Not a sound heard in the room, my head hit the wonderful pillows and I was out for the count. On Sonia's suggestion I dined at the Rusty Nail a few minutes down the road, wonderful meal. The breakfast offerings at Glen House are out of this world, I was able to request small portion sizes with no problem. I started off with a wonderful pot of tea, yogurt and fresh fruit, porridge, adding in nuts / seeds and muesli, smoked salmon and fresh scrabbled eggs, along with baskets of toasted brown bread and muffins. I did observe other guests with the full Irish, however, during my stay, I requested the same breakfast every day, absolutely delicious. Each day I re - explored different areas on the Inishowen Peninsula, which has a number of stunningly beautiful beaches and the Coastal area from Malin Head down through Moville > Muff, just spectacular. Thank you, Sonia and Martin for this idyllic respite in your lovely home.…

Undoubtedly the best b&b we have stayed in for many years. Sonia is a perfect hostess and goes out of her way to ensure every guest is happy. She is most welcoming, helpful and efficient so runs the perfect guesthouse. Our party of 6 adults and a baby stayed in a combination of the self-catering cottage and the guesthouse for 5 nights. We all had breakfast in the guesthouse. Also appreciated the availability of complimentary tea, coffee and delicious cakes. The views are beautiful and the rooms extremely spacious and very quiet.

I stayed here in mid June. The location was perfect for me -- an easy ten-minute drive to the Ballyliffin Golf Club that I was playing the next day, and being right next door to a nice hiking path to a waterfall and a great vista was a nice bonus. The place was very well put together with everything nicely decorated, etc. The large and welcoming bedroom was a great place to retire at the end of the day. It was a lot busier than normal when I arrived due to a historic tractor journey (I guess this is a thing, ha) that arrived that day, but Sonia did a great job of making me feel welcome. I grabbed a great ice cream at the stand on the property upon arrival -- it was a nice treat after a long drive, and only 2 euro. Best of all, when I mentioned walking to the local pub she went out of her way and drove me there herself so I only had to walk one direction. The stay was above and beyond in every way -- would definitely stay here again!…

Stayed with friends Saturday 27th April and we had a fantastic time from the warm welcome from Maggie to the beautiful accommodation and excellent breakfast we were well impressed. We had tea on arrival then checked into our beautiful rooms 2 and 3 which were spotless and beautifully decorated. Recommendations for dinner etc were fantastic. We had a great night's sleep with not a sound. Breakfast the next morning was a feast and the staff could not do enough for us. We would highly recommend and most definitely return. Thanks to everyone

We had such an enjoyable stay at The Glen House. The owners were so gracious and hospitable. We felt right at home. Our room had a gorgeous view of Tullagh Bay. The home cooked breakfasts were really good, especially the French toast. This is such a beautiful and remote area. Very peaceful. Gorgeous scenery. Visiting Clonmany was one of the highlights of my trip to Ireland!

We had an incredible stay at this lovely B & B in Clonmany. Sonia, our host, was warm and gracious, and helped us get the most out of our first-ever trip to Ireland and County Donegal. Our room and the entire property were immaculate, comfortable and absolutely beautiful. The breakfasts and pastries were delicious and lovingly prepared. Also, the Glen House is situated in a perfect location from which to explore the adjacent Glen Falls and the stunning coastline of northwest Ireland. Hikers and those who love the outdoors will be especially charmed by the Glen House and surrounding area. Sonia made us feel very welcome and at-home, and we are so grateful to her for helping to make our first trip to Ireland so memorable. We highly recommend this gorgeous B & B!

We wish the hostess could have been in residence so we might have told her in person what a gracious and elegant country place she has created. Instead, we were greeted by a lovely young schoolgirl who took a break from her homework to show us to our room in the otherwise apparently empty inn. Given the peaceful and capacious nature of this house, we couldn't understand the apparent lack of other guests...but it may be that everyone else had an earlier tee time at the nearby Ballyliffen! We also loved Gleneven Waterfall and the easy, atmospheric walk to its base....right in the back yard of the inn. Though tea was not being served in the adjacent tea room while we were in residence, that would have been the perfect accompaniment...a sort of Irish Jane Austenesque setting, all in all!…

Dear CapeTravellers, Many thanks for taking the time to review the Glen House and I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay here. It’s so nice to hear that people enjoy what has been a labour of love and taken almost 14 years to create. Every year it seems to evolve a little more. I’m just so sorry we didn’t meet in person during your stay. Of course we are extremely lucky to have the very special Glenevin Waterfall so close to us. It’s just a wonderful place. You are indeed right our other guest were enjoying the Ballyliffin Golf club !! Of course it was home to the Irish Open this year so is in fabulous condition. I hope we might have the pleasure of your company again if you ever return to Inishowen. Yours Kindly, Sonia

Don’t know where to start with how well we were treated at The Glen House by Sonia for “afternoon tea “ We went to celebrate our friends special Birthday . From the minute we walked through the front door we were all blown away by the elegance and welcome we received. There was 9 of us and what a spread of food was put out for us. It was all served on fine China, cups and saucers ( which we are far from used to 😜) The was a fantastic selection and abundance of sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and various pastries etc! Sonia’s attention to detail and service was leaving everyone planning a return visit with their families soon. We sat for over 2 hours without feeling we were in the way , and we were continuously refilled with Tea and Coffee at no extra charge. I would strongly recommend a visit to The Glen House for afternoon tea, you will not leave disappointed . Thank you so much Sonia. …
