Arnold's Hotel - Dunfanaghy, Ireland

Address: Dunfanaghy, Dunfanaghy

Arnold's Hotel details: This family-run hotel is nestled in the village of Dunfanaghy, at the base of Horn Head in the dramatic reaches of North Donegal.

Arnold's Hotel is noted for its warm welcome, good food and friendly Irish atmosphere. The headlands of north-west Donegal are famous for scenic mountains, deep glens and towering sea cliffs over the Atlantic Ocean. Arnold's is the perfect base to explore this splendid part of Ireland. The area is awash with colour and texture, from Muckish Mountain brushed with wind and weather, to the 3 local brown trout fishing lakes of Purt, Sessiagh and New Lake, the natural habitat of swans, duck and other wild fowl that frequent the lakes during the year. Here is the place to unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the scenic landscape of Sheephaven Bay.

Open from mid-March to 3 November.

Nearby Ards Forest Park, situated in the Ards Peninsula, has miles of walks through beautiful mature trees, miles of sandy beaches, flora and fauna. The breathtaking vistas will leave you feeling refreshed and energised as you relax and stroll along. Weekend activity breaks in photography, creative writing, wine tasting and week long painting holidays are available. The recipient of an RAC 2 Ribbon Award, Arnold's also offers access to lake and deep-sea angling, as well as reduced green fees on Dunfanaghy's 18 hole golf links. The stables cater for all levels of experience with beach rides and day long trails and a visit to Glenveagh National Park is a must. RAC 2 Ribbon Award.

Location

Dunfanaghy (1 km) - The north-western corner of Donegal (known as Sheephaven Bay) is an area of magnificent contrasts. The village itself boasts a fine selection of art and craft shops, from hand-turned pottery on site, to quilts made to your own specifications.

Glenveagh National Park (35 km) - Glenveagh National Park lies along the Derryveagh mountains on the North-West coast, and its magic derives from the fact that here is one of the last places in Ireland to be influenced by man.

Ards Forest Park (35 km) - Situated on the N56 between Creeslough and Dunfanaghy, Ards Forest Park is probably the most beautiful and certainly the most varied of Ireland's forest parks.

Bloody Foreland (70 km) - Bloody Foreland is situated in West Donegal. The rugged beauty of this panoramic vista has commanding views over the Atlantic Ocean. Renowned for the stunning sunsets in the long summer evenings, they leave a lasting impression never to be forgotten.

Arnold's Hotel, Dunfanaghy, Donegal, Ireland Date: July 11th, 2008 Reviewer: Tim Wellock Arnold's Hotel remains an oasis of perfect taste in the sea of misguided development which threatens to spoil Donegal. There was some work going on across the road during our stay, but god forbid that it will impede the magnificent view across the inlet of Sheephaven Bay. The hotel has been owned by the same family for three generations, and while growing to include 30 bedrooms it has retained all the attributes of cleanliness, friendliness and impeccable service that you would wish from a family-run hotel. As this is an area much populated by artists, there is no shortage of beautiful paintings adorning the walls - for sale, of course, but that doesn't detract from their appeal. The food is excellent - particularly the porridge at breakfast! We met people who had been going for 40 years, and while at their age they might have complained about having to climb a flight of stairs they seemed entirely happy.
