This place is a bit out of town (not ideal if you don't have a car) set in a nice yard with good views out over the water. We were given one of the big front rooms with views and they were pretty impressive. Large room with a desk and heated blankets on the bed (which my wife couldn't get... More

It was apparent at our arrival we were intruding. We were shown the door to the breakfast room but couldn't go in. We were asked on arrival what we wanted for breakfast but weren't shown the menu. Upon returning from our dinner and working to unlock the door, the inkeepers on the other side of the door quickly slipped into... More

While the facility was adequate, the innkeepers welcome and reception made it very apparent that our visit was an inconvenience and an intrusion. I have found walk-in freezers that were warmer. The hosts avoided us at all costs, including ignoring the fact we were trying to unlock the front door to enter while they stood on the inside of the... More

Island View House took us at the end of the day, impromptu. The place is lovely and is situated on a hill overlooking Donegal Bay. The view from my window was so inspiring and restful. The proprietors were nothing but kind and helpful, even with my gluten free needs for breakfast. My room had everything I needed, plenty of outlets... More

We stayed two nights at this B&B. The room we had was facing the view of the island. It was reasonably priced and included a breakfast that we ordered the night before. The couple that run this B&B were a bit more reserved than other places we stayed but Bernadette was very, very helpful and full of information for us!... More

We've only stayed at the Island View House for one night on our 2-day trip through the northwest of Ireland, and arrived quite late (checked in at 7PM, then arrived at about 11PM from a short evening trip to Slieve League). That said, we didn't really have enough time to enjoy the place or to visit the town... Our triple... More

we stayed at this B&B for two nights in May 2010. The location suited us as we were able to walk into the town. there were lovely views from our window. the breakfast was nice. the decor could do with updating but it was very reasonable and we would stay again.

Only a short walk to Donegal town, about 10 minutes, but plenty of taxi's. only stayed one night but very comfortable and very reasonable. lovely breakfast. If traditional music is what you like - check out the Reel Inn by the castle. also a good pub/restaurant opposite the castle
