A country Irish home and garden

It was so beautiful and felt very welcoming. The gardens and buildings were lovely.

Quaint

We stayed in the coach house room built in 1600’s, so quaint and so much character. The gardens are stunning, even though it was raining, took a quick walk to appreciate them. Lots of breakfast choices cooked to your liking. John (the owner) was lovely and took the time to explain the property to us.

Quaint getaway

This charming B&B was an overnight stay but I wished I could have stayed longer. Everyone was extremely nice and it was very quiet tucked back in the trees.

Beautiful, comfortable, delicious stay.

Had a lovely stay in the secluded hotel. Beautiful location tucked in the woods with amazing views. Room was very large and comfortable. The restaurant in the hotel served delicious food and they even have Guinness on tap in the cozy bar. Would def stay again!

Perfect Spot in Ardara

We had a lovely stay at Woodhill House. The room was spacious and we selected the room with the garden which was lovely to sit in and walkabout. We had dinner at the restaurant both nights and the food was delicious, definitely recommend dinning here if you are in Ardara. We really enjoyed having a drink after dinner at the adorable bar too. Thanks James for servicing us many Guinness pints. Excellent service!

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay at the Woodhill house. The host was amazing. We enjoyed a late dinner, drink, and conversation in the cozy bar/lounge the night of our arrival. Breakfast the following morning was delicious and the staff was very attentive. The property is older and needs some TLC, but still charming and well worth the money and drive.

Lovely historic old home/inn. Quiet. Convenient walk into town for dining.
Mary, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There wasn’t much we liked about it. The welcome was lukewarm. The pictures are not a bit accurate; sooo outdated and the “gardens” have not been looked after for decades it seems. The shower was a trickle of lukewarm water. The food was not great. The so-called bar was not a welcoming gathering area. We were excited to leave.

A hidden gem in Ardara —peaceful, charming, and relaxing. I stayed with my family at Woodhill House in Ardara for one night during our recent trip to Ireland, and it was easily one of the most memorable stays of our holiday. The house is nestled in a secluded, bucolic setting surrounded by beautiful gardens, mature trees, and stone work that add to its peaceful charm. The atmosphere was incredibly serene, a true retreat from the hustle and bustle. The house itself felt more like a warm, welcoming home compared to any other place we stayed. It’s full of character, with personal touches, family photos, antiques, and heirlooms that give it a rich sense of history and comfort. The bar and dining areas are equally inviting. The dining room is elegant without being stuffy, and the bar/den is cozy and full of charm. John, the owner, was friendly and very accommodating, and all the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They were kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in us and our trip, which made the experience feel even more special. The included traditional Irish breakfast was one of the best I had during my entire two-week trip. It was generous, absolutely delicious, and beautifully prepared. Ardara is truly a special place. I can't recommend "Triona - Donegal Tweed Visitor Centre" enough! I would highly recommend staying here, and I’d return in a heartbeat. A truly special place that feels like stepping into a peaceful, well-loved corner of Ireland.

The host was very nice and accommodating. The bed was lovely and comfortable in a spacious room off the main house. It was within a 5 minute walk of the town.

A true experience at a traditional bed and breakfast. The property was beautiful and really was enjoyable.
Garry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a super cute bed and breakfast. We stayed in the outer building in a family room. It was absolutely beautiful with a little balcony overlooking the cutest little garden. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent. My only complaints were the Wi-Fi did not work great in the outer building and there was zero pressure in the shower head but we just took a bath instead and that was great.

Gorgeous stay. John is very keen and gave us useful details for our trip. His bar is beautiful and I recommend the goats tart with salad
