Reveller Lodgings, a property with a bar, is located in Donegal, 13 km from Donegal Golf Club, 27 km from The Balor Theatre, as well as 27 km from Killybegs Maritime and Heritage Centre. The property is around 38 km from Narin & Portnoo Golf Club, 44 km from Raphoe Castle and 47 km from Beltany Stone Circle. Slieve League is 48 km away and Sean McDiarmada Homestead is 49 km from the guest house.

What a great location in the heart of Donegal! Really modern room above a very popular pub, but high enough above that we didn't hear a bit of pub noise. Lots of restaurants nearby, and Donegal Castle barely 5 minutes away. On-street parking is free from 6 pm on, and cheap at 0.50 euro/hour up to that time. Terrific base for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. One small gripe: the little green lights recessed in the ceiling that are always on, which are apparently required for emergency lighting in case of fire.

Free parking is available, and nearby beaches can be reached in 10 minutes by car, while local golf clubs are a 20-minute drive away. Slieve League Mountain are 40 minutes' drive from the manor. The manor was awarded Guesthouse of the Year 2008 and Hosts of the Year 2008 by Emerald Awards, USA.

The location was great, car needed but only a quick trip into Donegal town, lots of outdoor safe space for kids of all ages with games to play indoors and out. Great communication from the owner from the time of booking, helped me book horse riding and bike hire for our stay. Lovely fresh bread, eggs and milk left for us. And a very welcoming tour when we arrived to show us how everything worked. Phone number was given incase we needed anyway a all. Customer service was excellent.

Located in the heart of Donegal Town, the award-winning Atlantic Guest House is family-run establishment with free Wi-Fi and free, limited on-site parking. The guest house is less than 5 minutes’ walk from River Eske, leading to views of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Very friendly, helpful and professional. Above all, during our journey to Donegal we had a problem with our rental car and we arrived quite late, thanks to the kindness of the owners we could arrive and have a place to sleep. We appreciate it very much!

    Great host, beautiful places, our room was large and warm and looked out over fields. Breakfast was copious - with fresh fruit salad, and cooked food of a great standard. Lots of room to park.

    Nice quiet location. Just what we needed after being in a bustling city before we drove here. It’s just a short drive from Donegal city centre and if you just need something from the local convenience store, there is a service station just down the road which has most things stocked. The property has a lovely little kitchen and dining area. But by far the best part of this property was the fantastic communication from the host, Aisling.

    Great location right off the Main Street close to local bars. Handy shops walking distance too for sticking up for drinks, snacks and breakfast. Liked the design and furnishings - felt like a boutique hotel. Really comfy beds. Thoughtful welcome package on arrival with cocktails and chocolates. The host was lovely and made sure we had a superb staycation. Clean and tidy, exactly like the pictures. Can’t wait to come back.
