We absolutely loved Fairway Haven. The house itself has everything a family would need! Plenty of space & ensuite bathrooms in two rooms with two additional bathrooms( one upstairs & one downstairs) , lots of spare towels/ toiletries provided even though we did bring our own......lovely sunroom which was perfect for drying clothes overnight. Living area was so well equipped with a smart TV, games, books ,Nintendo game systems, even colouring books & markers! Kitchen was well laid out again with great facilities, we got a food shop on the way to the house & we could cook as / when we wanted..suited us with four boy's. Great heating system that was easy to use once I figured it out, loved the fact you could have constant hot water 😬Washing machine was so easy to use & great for keeping on top of the washing. Jack had the heating on for our arrival which was a lovely touch. He was an excellent host & got straight back to me anytime I needed to ask something, I did annoy him a few too many times I'm sure! Not that he complained. We would love to make a return visit , boy's are already talking about it. It's situated in such a scenic area, lots to do..some of which we enjoyed was Ard's Forest Park, Marble Hill beach & we even ventured future afield to Wild Ireland & Tropical World at Alcorn..The village was close by to the house with lovely cafes, shops & takeaways. I don't think we've ever been anywhere quite as beautiful, scenery was just out of this would in Ard's Forest Park, it has the most beautiful trails , beach & play area. Even a coffee shop situated beside the carpark.
I've highly recommended this house to my family & friend's already. Coco the dog next door was a big hit with the boy's too 🙂

Dunfanaghy itself could have maybe another shop or two for appealing to tourists. I noticed bus trips stop there. Unfortunately a derelict hotel opposite Arnold’s hotel is a bit of an eye sore. Have heard it may have been purchased by a new owner so that may improve things.Arnold’s itself has good outdoor appearance.
In general seems a friendly community , and near a number of picturesque and beautiful beaches.

I love Donegal and would never leave without a visit to the old workhouse for a coffee, a browse in the craft shop and maybe pick up a used book or two. A staff member recommended a lovely walk this time around as well. Another favourite is a visit to Ards Friary, lovely coffee there too after a walk along the sea and a visit to the beautiful little beach, perfect for the grand-children so will have to let them into the secret. Ostan Loch Altan in Gortahork is a great wee place to eat and very reasonably priced too.

Very busy this time due to heatwave & the fact people had missed out on earlier holidays this year.
The beaches in Co Donegal are fabulous.
We ate in “ The Cove”, Arnold’s hotel & The Shannon hotel
Yes, easy to get round Dunfanaghy - just a long Main Street.
We would avoid week- ends too busy!

Close to the town but when you leave the town you benefit from escaping the noise and traffic to tranquil surroundings. Lovely rooms and great facilities. Made to feel very welcome and a relaxed atmosphere.
Well organised and breakfast was fantastic too.
Loved our stay at Annes house.
The house itself has absolutely everything you could need. Kitchen has every type of utensil you could think of. Beds were very comfortable, house was very clean. Anne was great to communicate with as well, Very prompt and helpful!
The house itself is set about 8 minutes drive from Dunfanaghy, We liked that we were a bit outside of the town, you would definitely not get the views or peace and quiet if you were in the centre. We Would love to come back!
We loved our stay at The Mill. It is a beautiful and extremely comfortable property, with lovely gardens and a stunning view over the lake. Our hostess made us feel very welcome and shared good advice about nearby points of interest. We enjoyed excellent breakfasts in the warm, sunny dining room. There is a comfortable sitting room and also a conservatory where guests can relax, read a book, or share a glass of wine without feeling crowded in together.
There is a recycling bin that allows for segregation of rubbish and reducing black bin waste.
The location is the major plus as the property is only a short stroll into Dunfanaghy, which is a treasure of a town in Donegal.
The property was larger than expected and no problem with parking.
Great set up with range of accommodation and lovely garden/ grounds. Excellent breakfast, family friendly place. Well located for stunning beaches and the town of Dunfagnhy with all you could want for holiday - pubs/cafe restaurants/ supermarket etc.
Beautiful cosy house with a great location in Dunfanaghy and fantastic views of the beach.
Kitchen was very well equiped ,comfortable bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and lovely garden.
Very friendly and helpful host.
Would definitely return.
Hotel is in a great location, amazing views - go for the sea view room (the rooms at the back of the hotel just look on to a hill). Rooms are basic but clean. Restaurant is fantastic - food and service was excellent.
It’s slap bang in the middle of Dunfanaghy, with its pubs, shops and cafes, and minutes from the beach. A good shower, too, and excellent communication. Good value for money compared with other places in the town.
Perfect location to explore surrounding area. Beautiful beaches and close to Glenveagh National Park. Delicious breakfast was included with our stay. Hotel bar had live music. Highly recommend!
A great historic hotel in the center of Dunfanaghy. We really enjoyed our stay. We had breakfast and some dinners in the hotel restaurant, which were very good. The staff & room were great.
The view is lovely and true you do want to sit and look out at it. The property is really adjacent to Portnablagh and really too far to walk from Dunfanaghy but there are taxis available.
If this B&B were a Hotel it would be at least a 4 star. Wonderful location and setting and the host Susan was the definition of kindness and hospitality . Awesome breakfast.
Individual unique hotel The breakfast was especially good with a wide range of choice from traditional,,to delicious homemade granola Will definitely be returning
We loved the relaxed, welcoming and comfortable foyer area. The staff were so friendly and the food was lovely. The hotel catered well for gluten free guests.
just outside Dunfanaghy, hasn't moved since I went there 20+ years ago first time, hopefully still there in 20 years that I can take some grandkids to.
