Bunbeg House

Three Star

The Harbour, Bunbeg, Donegal Show on a map

Superb 9.3/10 thumb up

Rated 9.3 by GoIreland customers
(6 ratings)

Bunbeg House a charming friendly guesthouse situated in the village of Bunbeg, Co. Donegal. Overlooking the harbour at the mouth of the clady river famous for its salmon fishing.

This house was originally a corn mill way back in the mid 19th Century and operated by the same family since opening its doors in the 1970’s. There have been many renovations since then to its current comfortable modern and yet distinguished charm.

Relaxed homely atmosphere, fully licensed resident lounge with fresh home made cooking. Ideal location to explore the Gaeltacht of Donegal.
