The breakfast menu was amazing and the bar offered a great selection of drinks. Our room was lovely. Very comfortable. There is a walled garden and historic out buildings. The property is very historic and it has a lot of charm. It has a great atmosphere. It was nice to talk to John at the bar and other guests. So friendly.
Woodhill House is a charming old manor house in a lovely little town. The room was spacious and clean and the area was very quiet. Breakfast was delicious, though they only start serving at 8:30am so plan accordingly. John was a very welcoming host and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Woodhill House if you are in the Ardara area.
The highlight of our entire trip to Ireland. We needed a place to stop for the night during our travel from
Northern into Southern Ireland. We wished we would have stayed longer here. This bnb is an absolute delight! John, the host and Karen were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. We stayed in the carriage house with beautiful garden view, great to stroll through. The views surrounding the property were beautiful. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfy. The breakfast Karen made was delicious…our first try at black and white pudding which were yummy. Thanks to John and Karen, they provided us with recommendations for other sites to see along our trip. We will always remember this stay!
We loved this little place. Beautiful setting just a short walk/drive to Ardara and a great starting point for exploring Donegal. Breakfast was great and the rooms were huge. We wouldnt hesitate to stay again!
The host was very nice and accommodating. The bed was lovely and comfortable in a spacious room off the main house. It was within a 5 minute walk of the town.
What a delightful stay in a well styled Manor. All the rooms are tastefully appointed & in keeping with the era which gives a warm homely feeling to your stay.
Delightful staff eager to help, made our stay even more homely.
The showers are difficult to use & perhaps a queen bed to replace the double size would be our only positive criticism.
Despite these small criticisms the stay was just delightful.
John and his staff are welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was great. Woodhill House is old world beautiful !!! We just loved it there. After a day of sightseeing it was nice to come back relax have a pint and good conversation with John. Will definitely be back!!!!
A wonderful stay at a historic country house. It was appropriately decorated for it's period. Very attentive and welcoming staff, from it's owner, John, to the bartender and waitstaff at breakfast.
The owner John was welcoming and helpful- the staff were friendly and accommodating. A beautiful setting with a convenient walk into town.

Property is dated but very quaint. Location was great for a day drive along the wild atlantic coast and Donegal. No self laundry options but same day laundry service is avaliable.
This charming B&B was an overnight stay but I wished I could have stayed longer. Everyone was extremely nice and it was very quiet tucked back in the trees.
