Avalon House — Hotel in County Donegal

Let down at last minute by another Donegal b & b (highly recommended here on TripAdvisor.) I mean we were actually sitting outside but no one at home! Advised by owner on contacting by mobile, "go eat somewhere and we'll be there in an hour or 2."|| || Rang Avalon, which we were to stay in a few days later. Can you take us 3 days early? Landlady responded with warmth and positivity. "Yes we can accommodate you, just come along when you're ready."||We didn't know just then how lucky we were.||On arriving met by the landlady, Mary. Within a few minutes we were made to feel at home. Over the next 5 days we were made to feel part of a wonderful family.||Mary and husband Hugh do Irish hospitality with a genuine warmth all too rare nowadays.||Our accommodation was excellent & breakfasts lovely. The quiet edge-of-town rural setting peaceful. The owners' recommendations of local attractions/activities/restaurants etc proved invaluable, with the result that over 5 days we got to experience the best of the area. ||They say every cloud has a silver lining. After our b & b let down we found the silver lining, it is a place...

Excellent 3 day stay at the Avalon Guest House. When we arrived, we were met by the owners Mary and Hugh, who immediately made us tea, coffee and provided a range of home made breads and biscuits. Breakfasts were first class, we were treated to a selection of fresh fruit with yogurts, cereal’s, homemade bread and this was followed by a cooked breakfast. You could order or change the cooked breakfast if required the night before.||Marys husband Hugh has a wealth of knowledge of all the surrounding tourist attractions and more importantly how to find them. The guest house is in the perfect position to discover all attractions in this area. We visited Killybegs, Maghery Sea Arches, Maghera Caves, Assaranca Waterfall, Slieve League, Glencolumkille, Malinbeg, Silver Strand, Glengesh Pass, Narin beach, Portnoo and Rossbeg. ||||Overall an excellent stay, top marks to Mary and Hugh for making us so welcome....

A bit of a late review, me and my son stopped at this guest house back in 2022 and really enjoyed it, we come over for the rally and just wanted to say thank you for the 1st class service, we was running late and didn't arrive until gone 1am ( long drive from Dublin ) and Mary couldn't have been more friendly bless her, I did feel really guilty keeping her awake, she kept asking me you want a cup of tea, you sure? You sure you don't want a cup of tea? Reminded me of misses Doyle from father ted 😂 we have since been over every year for the rally and again this year leaving in 2 weeks but have found somewhere closer to letterkenny, if the rally was in and around donegal i would for sure give these people a call and get booked in! Hope your keeping well mary and hugh! All the best, Mike and...
