The location is outstanding, near to the beach, places to dine. We stayed for four night as we had been invited to a family gathering. The accommodation was situation, in a quiet locate, but near activities. We ate at nearby Smugglers Creek and the Gaslight. Perfect meals with outside seating.

If you are driving and staying outside of Rossnowlagh then you obviously won’t have a drink. My advice to those that wish to go into the resort is that taxis are good BUT…BEWARE… It will be almost impossible to get a taxi on a Sunday night. We got caught out and only the kind offer of a lift by the barman in the Smugglers Creek in to drive us back to our accommodation saved the day. Otherwise we would have been stranded.

The Bakery Shack in Rossnowlagh do very delicious coffee and various savoury and sweet things to eat. Highly recommend the Franciscan Friary and the Catholic church nearby for a quiet place to pray.

The community is very welcoming to anybody and everybody. Being from the countryside they still have that sense of community bonding Ireland’s known for. The sights are as beautiful as the people and I’d recommend anyone looking for a relaxing getaway to head up there

Surfers paradise! Great location to tour Donegal.
Surfers paradise! Great location to tour Donegal. People are very friendly. Stayed in The Bee Pods which were ideal - pet free, child free and overlooking the beach. To wake up to the sound of the sea was a dream. The Smuggler's Inn was a lovely restaurant also overlooking Rossnowlagh beach and a visit to Slieve League Cliffs is worth the climb to see the views of Donegal.

Ok, the driving is scary if you're not used to driving on the left along narrow, windy roads-- but apart from that, you will not find a more beautiful setting, especially is you prefer cool weather. Mountains, ocean, lakes, gorgeous rural landscape. I was, unfortunately, unable to get around due to a leg injury early on the trip, but sitting by the ocean at the Sandhouse Hotel was enough for me. Next time, I hope to visit the nearby Islands and the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking areas), and to stay there long enough to hear traditional music. Our 2 1/2 days was not nearly enough time! ps I'm not a swimmer or surfer, but these are very popular activities here.

The whole stay was absolutely wonderful. Betty the owner was very friendly. Her House and our room was spacious and absolutely spotless. The bathroom facilities were brilliant. The views over Rossnowlagh Beach were stunning. Betty's home cooked breakfasts were really good and tasty and far exceeded our expectations. The portions were very, very generous indeed. We would have no hesitation in recommending Atlantic Breeze.

Jonathan’s B&B was the perfect place to stay and explore Donegal. The place was very clean and tidy. Breakfast was included and had lots of options. We were 10minutes from Donegal town and the view from the house was lovely. Jonathan was extremely friendly and helpful. Went so far as to offer us a lift to Donegal to collect our car. Would definitely go back, and very much recommend!

Beautiful comfortable property with Jonathan as an excellent host. Idyllic rural location overlooking Rossnowlagh but only a short drive to many local attractions. The continental breakfast was superb, loads of choice and always plenty of food, a pleasant change from the normal fried breakfast. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Atlantic Breeze B&B was simply flawless. The facilities are perfect, spotlessly clean, and Betty is the most warm and welcoming host. The breakfast was without question the best breakfast I have experienced in a B&B or hotel. Cooked to perfection, with fresh, high quality ingredients. We will definitely return again!

Salt house is Rossnowlagh’s best kept secret. We can’t wait to return. This home is an architectural gem with views that take your breath away and beautiful interiors which have been keenly selected to pick up the soft coastal tones of the local area. Just heaven!

The hotel is located overlooking a spectacular beach. Staff very welcoming. Good was very good. Obviously because of Covid restrictions atmosphere in the hotel was muted. Common areas are tired and decor needs updating ,however the welcome and view outweigh this.
