Drumbeagh House

Southwestern Donegal


Accommodating hosts with plenty of local knowledge make this small B&B a great find. The cosy rooms are tastefully decorated in neutral colours and the breakfast of locally smoked salmon is worth the trip alone. Great harbour views; it's a five-minute walk from the centre.
