I took my two young boys on a spontaneous road trip to Donegal this week. We were recommended Ardara as a good starting point for our adventures, and at the very last moment I booked a room at The Green Gate. What a wonderful choice it was. The day's light was fading and the wind blew wildly as I followed... More

The Green Gate has a magical and timeless quality that sets it apart from the rest of the hectic world.

Paul the proprietor is a pleasure to interact... More

I have stayed the Green Gate at least twice. I went to their with a few female friends once, and went to there with a group of friends in another time. Even though it was bit difficult to find the place, we all agreed that it did worth travelling to up there because the accommodation was located in very rural... More

And when you enjoy delicious home-made breakfast in the morning you have a breathtaking view over the landscape. It's a place I'll never forget - it's magic. Also because of Paul, who is a very special... More
