We have just completed our 8th journey to Ireland in the last 8 years having stayed in over 60 B&Bs during these trips. Most have been well above average but not necessarily outstanding. The Arches Country House on Lough Eske, Donegal Town stands out as the singularly finest B&B the 4 of us have ever stayed in. I would give... more

First impression, Noreen is a cold fish and some what grumpy. Dont let that put you off. Food is good. The rooms are clean and are ideal for a couple. The views are breath taking. Somewhat off the beaten track. Donegal Town is excellent and we where spoilt for places to eat.. more

Setting was beautiful, B&B was OK, our room was rather small but nice. The breakfast was OK. The owner was cold, met us at the door, was abrupt, gave us a key to the room, and did not show us around the property. Husband was never available and never approached any guest while I was there. This B&B could be... more

From the moment we drove up, we could see we made the right choice in staying here. The room, the grounds, the view, the food and our hostess were superb! Sadly, we only had one day to enjoy it. This should be on the top of anyone's list for lodging when visiting Donegal. Thanks for a great stay! more

We stayed here as we were going to a wedding at Harvey's Point Hotel. We had beautiful large rooms with a view of the lake - stunning! The breakfast was delicious and again the view from the dining room amazing. What really made this stand out was the service from the hostess. She went out of her way to help... more

We are regular visitors to The Arches and to us it epitomises everything a wonderful bed and breakfast should be. We cannot speak highly enough of this b&b especially the total professionalism and friendliness of the owner hosts, Noreen and Connie. The rooms are all impeccably decorated, each one different from the others. Noreen looks after the needs of her... more

The Arches b&b was a pleasure to stay in. The location is excellent with stunning views over Lough Eske from our bedrooms and very peaceful. The owner Noreen was a very nice, helpful lady, which made our stay more enjoyable. I was with my wife and mother in law during our stay and we just loved everything about it. The... more

I spent four nights at The Arches b&b, last August, with my husband and a couple of friends: it was a very good experience! The rooms are cosy and large, very very clean, furnitures and interior decorations are charming and pretty; bathrooms have power shower and hairdrier and are spotless and very clean too. Each room has a panoramic view... more

When booking via the internet it is always a bit of a gamble but this gamble turned out to be a winner. Although The Arches is a few miles out of Donegal everything about it makes that distance unimportant. The host made us feel welcome and at home. The room was really lovely, modern, roomy and tasteful with views over... more

I booked The Arches after reading several positive reviews on Tripadvisor. I must say the previous reviews were spot on: The Arches is a wonderful place to stay: It is a bigger house than it looked on the website, set in beautiful gardens overlooking Lough Eske. Mrs McGinty offered us a warm welcome at the entrance, showing us to our... more
