We stayed in when in Cork for walking on cars concert. For weeks I tried to book a hotel but prices were just a joke. Then I decided to try a B&B. Best decision ever! People, don’t overspend! We got same as in a hotel. Clean & comfy b&b! Good quality breakfast. Totally recommended!! 👏👏👏

We loved this B&B! The bathroom was significantly larger than all of the other B&B places that we stayed. The bed was so comfortable and the hosts were superb! She checked on us several times at breakfast and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in.

Recently stayed here with another couple for one night and had a lovely stay. The rooms were well maintained and comfortable and the hosts couldn’t have been friendlier. They dropped us off at a restaurant they kindly recommended and booked for us. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty, would definitely recommend to friends and family.

This B&B was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and our room had a lovely ensuite. The bed was really comfy and there was very little noise. The ensuite had a good shower that barely made any noise. Majella was a wonderful host, she did and offered so much for us and made our stay so enjoyable. Would definitely go back.

I stayed here on a Saturday night after attending a function in town. On my return to the house after midnight I was delighted when I opened the front door and instantly felt the heat. When I entered my room both windows in toilet and bedroom were open. Strange as itvwas a cold night. The comfort of the bed made up for the cold feeling. When I went down for breakfast I joined a table with other people. We had a great chat and although we never met before we had a connection through friends . I was offered a full Irish breakfast and was looking forward to it. When it arrived i instantly thought that the life had left the bacon and sausage. This was true as to my horror the sausages were cold. No need to say anymore. In fairness to the host she apologised and didnt charge for the breakfast. In summary a guest will wait for the food to be freshly cooked. Like in sport you are judged on your last game. Keep it fresh. …

Spent 2 nights here and couldn't have picked a better B&B! Majella is a fantastic host and nothing is ever a task! Teamed with her hubby Martin they make a tasty breakfast. Rooms spacious and extremely clean with very comfy beds. Set in a housing development which is very quiet and very convenient to Letterkenny shopping centre and main street! Plenty of dining choices on within a short distance! We love Donegal and this is definitely somewhere I will stay again and would highly reccomend. Thanks again Majella and Martin. A very homely place to stay with great hosts. Hope to see you soon 😁

We arrived after a long day in the saddle (of a motorbike), and had a lovely warm welcome from Majella. Our room was fresh, clean and comfy. Went out for a meal (5 minutes in a taxi into town) and back for a good night’s sleep. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful, with a good selection of cereals, juices, and a cooked option. Altogether, everything you want a B & B to B !

Majella was wonderful right from greeting us upon arrival! She was sweet, accommodating, and very helpful with recommendations. Rooms were very nice and clean with a delicious breakfast in the am. After we left Majella went above and beyond to ensure we got an item back that we accidentally left behind. Highly recommend a stay here 😊

A friendly and welcoming place to stay, great for motorcycle touring as there is sufficient room outside the B&B for a lot of bikes to park. Great service, nothing too much trouble. Will be calling again.
