The Green Gate is a magic, unique spot. Rooms are most charming and you are enjoying fabulous views over the hills and to the Irish sea. The landlord is a charming host, a philosopher, an opera lover and an adventurer at the same time. Breakfast in his kitchen is a perfect start into the day. We have been there with... More

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. Our room was clean and elegant in its simplicity and felt like a world unto itself.We traveled there off season and loved the wildness of the weather, the wind and the everchanging views of the ocean and surrounding mountains from...

The Green Gate is a wonderful little B&B where Paul Chatenoud will give you the warmest welcome in his beautiful and typical cottage, just above Ardara. The view is just fantastic from the hill where the cottage is. It's no surprise The Green Gate was referred a few times as the best B&B in Ireland. And smokers are more than... More

We spent 5 days at Paul's greengate in early Autumn 2011. To say this place is special is an understatement. The location on the top of a hillock over the village of Ardara is superb, and has a view of the distant bay. We stayed in the cottage with the bay view. 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

As the name suggests this is one of the greenest spots in Ireland. You can find a mixture of tradition and genuine friendliness here. 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
