It was an absolute delight staying at this family run operation - Anthony & Pauline McNicholl are incredible hosts. Forget the Snugglers next door for dinner and just stay right here in their dining room. Pauline is an outstanding cook. The front rooms have the most incredible, panoramic views of Donegal Bay and the dining room is all opened up... more

I recently spent two nights at Ardnamara with 3 generations of family. The rooms were simple but very comfortable, the bathrooms newly renovated. From our front-facing rooms we had incredible views of the beach, the sunset and the mountains across the bay. Breakfast was excellent and the owners and their staff were delightful. We had everything we needed at a... more

On our second trip to Rossnowlagh, we stayed at the Ardnamara again. We enjoyed our visit to Rossnowlagh and the Ardnamara as much the second time as we did on the first time. The bedrooms are nicely decorated. Both the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious with plenty of room to spread out necessities. We were warmly greeted by Anthony and... more

A prime location affording a grand panorama looking north over Donegal Bay to the distant hills with the surf- swept sand of Rossnowlagh Strand in the foreground, just a stroll away,hence, Ard-na- Mara. Only those guests rooming in the front have this view. There are no public rooms,save a small "observatory" with comfortable seating for 3 persons, cramped for 4... more
