Breakfast was delicious. Good choice of cereals, juices, yoghurt, fry, omelette. Toast and tea or coffee. Staff brilliant. Room spacious and had everything we needed.
Shower could be modernised. Great location walking about 12 minutes into town with restaurants, bars and shops. Driving to killybegs, donegal and dungloe beaches within 40 minutes. Waking up to the sound of birds singing and lambs was relaxing.

Our stay at Woodhill House was very pleasant to experience an old manor house. It is good that houses like this one have found a modern use that enables them to be preserved for future generations.

Woodhill was a charming and comfortable place to stay despite being dated and in need of a bit of a makeover. The hotel breakfast was great and the location was fantastic with stunning views from our room. It was a pleasant 7 minute walk into the centre of Ardara where we had a great meal in Nancy's bar.

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!
