The view from our window of the lough was the icing on the cake. This B&B is in the country outside of town and you'll need your GPS to get there but once you do you'll be happy. Noreen is warm and funny and her breakfasts were great. Try the kippers. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom as large... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Arches Country House. It was the best of the many nice B+Bs we stayed in during our 2 1/2 week trip throughout Ireland. The facilities were very comfortable and so well maintained they looked new. The countryside was beautiful and views from the rooms were great. Breakfast was very good and the hostess, Noreen,...

We were extremely pleased with our accommodations at The Arches Country House in Donegal. We were three couples traveling together and we stayed three nights in very comfortable and well-appointed rooms. Noreen looked after our every need, answered all of our questions, and gave very practical advice about local dining and driving throughout Donegal. The house is immaculately maintained with... More

We just stayed at The Arches with another couple. Mrs. Noreen McGinty has a fantastic property and is a gracious hostess. Our rooms were very comfortable and well appointed. It is a little way out if town but the travel is short and worth it. More

My wife and I together with our two adult daughters stayed at The Arches Country House, Donegal for three nights whilst attending a wedding reception at the nearby Harveys Point Hotel. We have stayed in many excellent B&B's over the years but The Arches certainly stands out from the crowd. Noreen accommodated us in her newly opened family suite, with... More

We found ourselves back for a second time in The Arches on the May bank holiday and had another good experience. the drive back to dublin is now much shorter with the new M3 motorway, and when you start the day with a lovely breakfast, and a view of that beautiful lake, it makes you wonder sometimes why you live...

We just got home from our trip to Ireland. We loved our stay at the Arches! This was our first night in Ireland and it was a great start! A lovely view of the lake. The house is beautiful and the lawn is wonderfully landscaped. Our rooms were spacious, clean, and well appointed! We really enjoyed meeting Noreen and her... More

Our stay at the Arches was fantastic! Noreen was so sweet and accommodating. We arrived rather late our first night and she welcomed us, assuring us it was not a problem. She gave us suggestions of where to eat so late at night. The house itself is large, clean, and beautiful. The property is equally stunning, with gorgeous views of... More

A real gem. Beautiful grounds and scenery; tasteful, well-appointed room; free wi-fi and more tv channels than we had access to in a long while,not that we had much time for tv. We have happily enjoyed the wonderful hospitality for another night had our schedule allowed. More

My husband and I were on a lovely road trip around the west coast and up to Donegal. We got to downtown Donegal quite late about 9.30 pm and struggled to find a nice place to stay. Worried that we hadn't booked anywhere and it was getting late- my husband looked up B&Bs from his iphone and came across the... More
