We booked two rooms at The Cove Lodge based on the great reviews we saw on this site. Boy, were we glad we did. Much to our delight, we found it beautifully decorated, incredibly comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The view from the front is fantastic. The location is perfect – far enough out of town to feel quiet and peaceful,... More

The best B and B of our two week travels! We rated The Cove Lodge an A+ for the cleaniness, hosts, Liam and Joan, and overall great accommodations. We were travelling with 4 adults and we loved our beds, large clean showers with "washcloths" which was a treat, and wonderful breakfast overlooking a lake in front of the house. We... More

We found The Cove Lodge was very conveniently located on the main road to Donegal Town and not too far. Very easy to find and well indicated. Very warm welcome from Liam and Joan, the kind of friendly B&B you feel close to the family, not a hostel in disguise. The room was very clean and tidy and the breakfast... More

This was a great place to stay. Very clean and friendly people. Very helpfull with advice on where to go. I really enjoyed my stay here, it was only one night but I wish it would have been longer. And it was a great value too. I got twice as much here for my money than anywhere else.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely weekend in Donegal. We enjoyed the modern yet chic decor. We had plenty of clean bedding and towels and the whole B&B was amazingly spotless, in fact I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere as clean(including even the popular national hotel chains). The location is a perfect base to explore the surrounding area... More

I'm a regular traveller along the west coast of Ireland and frequently stay in B & B guest houses. Cove Lodge ranks among the best for the quality of the facilities, the good food, and the warm welcome. In addition it is within reasonable distance of Donegal town centre and is on the old Ballyshannon road which is on the... More

The couple who runs the BnB were so lovely and welcoming, and the rooms/dining area were SO cute and well kept and clean! Its decorated beautifully. They were very professional, friendly,... More

It was our first time in Ireland and we just stop by one night in Donegal on our way to the north. And we are happy we did it. Donegal was an unexpected nice surprise, and even more the Cove Lodge B&B! The house is really beatiful, as well as the rooms, which were lovely decorated. The breakfast was also... More
