Located in Donegal, Ros Dun provides accommodation with access to a garden with a sun terrace.

All units come with a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a private bathroom with a hairdryer, shower and bath.

Excellent location - a stone throw from Donegal Town bus stop and town centre, yet quiet (very close to the Bank Walk). Continental breakfast is plentiful, healthy and delicious -- a pleasant change from having Full Irish Breakfast at other B&Bs all the time. Love the hot croissants and fruits. Given a code to check-in. No issues with WiFi. The room and en-suite are superior to nearby B&B (in the same town) where we stayed for 2 nights as part of an organized cycling tour. Stayed at Ros Dun House for our extra night after the tour. New B&B owner, Geraldine, is enthusiastic and business-like; started business in March 2020.

Reveller Lodgings, a property with a bar, is located in Donegal, 13 km from Donegal Golf Club, 27 km from The Balor Theatre, as well as 27 km from Killybegs Maritime and Heritage Centre. The property is around 38 km from Narin & Portnoo Golf Club, 44 km from Raphoe Castle and 47 km from Beltany Stone Circle. Slieve League is 48 km away and Sean McDiarmada Homestead is 49 km from the guest house.

What a great location in the heart of Donegal! Really modern room above a very popular pub, but high enough above that we didn't hear a bit of pub noise. Lots of restaurants nearby, and Donegal Castle barely 5 minutes away. On-street parking is free from 6 pm on, and cheap at 0.50 euro/hour up to that time. Terrific base for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. One small gripe: the little green lights recessed in the ceiling that are always on, which are apparently required for emergency lighting in case of fire.

    What a brilliant charming apartment, lovely location and facilities. You could complain about the parking, because is it in central donegal, but there is plenty of cheap parking around the diamond. OK there is 2 flights of stairs up to the property, but that's not a big deal unless you have mobility issues, We had a great couple of days overlooking the town.

    . The minute we walked into the house, the most amazing and clean smell just hit us. And it was absolutely spotless. There was a front living room which was massive and comfortable, but we had no need to use it. We sat in the back living room, which had a sofa and chair, and dining table and chairs. So comfy. The 3 bedrooms were quite big, and very clean and comfortable. And the bathroom was spotless and very modern. Perfect location for a family wedding. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

Our host Paul was amazing, extremely welcoming, showed us around and then left us to our own devices but was never more then a phone call away if needed.
