We had such a lovely time at The Shandon Hotel. We were upgraded to a seaview room on arrival, which was such a thoughtful surprise — and honestly, the view was incredible. Looking out over the water every morning was the perfect way to start the day.
The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they genuinely care about guests having a good experience.
The food was fantastic too — fresh, tasty, and plenty of choice whether you’re after something casual or a bit more special.
Can’t recommend The Shandon enough for a relaxing break in a beautiful part of Donegal. Thanks again to the whole team — we’ll definitely be back!

Óstán Loch Altan in Gortahork, Northwest Donegal, provides accommodation with a garden, a bar and on-site dining. This 3-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi.
Dunfanaghy is a fantastic Spot to holiday in. Lots of little restaurants like Lizzie's for great food (Seafood Chowder is a must!). We loved getting our walk around Horn Head and went for a little swim in the water at Marble Hill Beach. We visited for the Blues and Jazz festival.

Beautiful part of the country. So much to explore.
Beautiful part of the country. So much to explore. We had 5 nights and could have stayed longer exploring. Kids loved heading to beech even in evening after a day out. Was great to have a few options close by. Few nice places to eat. Some of local shops a bit dearer for groceries but that's to be expected in a holiday town. You won't go hungry or bored in Dunfanaghy. We had the car so got to explore further but still would have liked some more time. We were blessed with the weather but regardless its a beautiful part of the country rain or shine

A beautiful spot with a wide beach and another down the road which was very safe and ideal for children. A great choice of places to eat, mostly beautifully cooked food. Live traditional music in an informal setting.

The house just outside Dunfanaghy was a great location for exploring the area. The beaches were awesome but the weather wasn't good enough to make full use.....that's just how it goes....just means I'll need to go again. There were plenty of other things to see and do that kept us out of rain showers. The Wild Atlantic Way drive is amazing. Glenvaegh castle is well worth a visit and if it's dry that area would be great for walking. Evening in Dunfanaghy listening to traditional music in the pub was great too. Letterkenny good for a shopping trip.

Dunfanaghy itself could have maybe another shop or two for appealing to tourists. I noticed bus trips stop there. Unfortunately a derelict hotel opposite Arnold’s hotel is a bit of an eye sore. Have heard it may have been purchased by a new owner so that may improve things.Arnold’s itself has good outdoor appearance.
In general seems a friendly community , and near a number of picturesque and beautiful beaches.

Am delighted to have stayed in this beautiful, fully equipped apartment with an amazing sea view. The location was superb. It is close to shops, restaurants, church and local amenities. The host was incredibly helpful and easily contacted if need be. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in Portnablagh, Dunfanaghy or surrounding area.
It’s slap bang in the middle of Dunfanaghy, with its pubs, shops and cafes, and minutes from the beach. A good shower, too, and excellent communication. Good value for money compared with other places in the town.
Lovely big house, very spacious and clean, comfortable, everything was working well, great nights sleep, so relaxing and very quiet. Very close to dunfanaghy😄
