Helen and her family are nice, friendly and helpful people with great hospitality. The rooms were very clean. The breakfast was delicious and had various choices in the menu so every morning can start with a different taste. An Charraig Ban is found on a quiet, rural location between Ardara and Killybegs. In these two small towns you can go for shopping, dining etc. Several highlights of North West Ireland are within a 20 or 30 km.’s drive, such as Donegal and Donegal Castle, the Slieve League cliffs, the Assaranca waterfall, the Glengesh pass etc. Special recommendation : book a boat trip with Paddy in Teelin to see the spectacular coastline, including the Slieve League cliffs, from the ocean.

Add a (small) shelf in the shower cabin for placement of shampoo and shower gel, and two hooks (e.g. mounted on the bathroom door) for towels.

Lovely welcome from our host, Helen, who showed us to a clean and comfortable room. The view from the property was open countryside and it was very quiet there. The bathroom was spacious and well stocked with toiletries and fresh towels. There was a good selection of breakfast choices and we were served in a lovely well lit dining room.

The bathroom was exclusively for our use but was across a hallway with creaking floors and two noisy doors to get there … we were anxious about disturbing other guests and the family who lives upstairs in the house. The TV in the room wasn’t working and the WiFi was a bit patchy … maybe due to the countryside location.

Helen and her husband were the best! We lost track of time and arrive after hours, but he was expecting us with all the simpathy. The room was really confortable and the bathroom was huge and only for us. We met Helen ( and Toby, the newest cute pet member of their family!) at the breakfast, where she was amazing, super caring and delivered us super fresh food. We recommend everyone to stay here, you will be received like friends. We wish you all the best!

I’ve never seen so clean place. It was pleasure to come to this house after very intensive day spend around. We were greeted by owner outside the house and he even took our bags inside. His wife Helen came in later to say hi and ask us what we want for breakfast ( wich was delicious as well ). We had a great sleep and we felt very welcome.

Nothing everything was perfect

We had a lovely time. Helen is an exceptional hostess and nothing was any trouble to her. Lovely big room with a great view across the hills. The property is very well located, a five minute drive from Ardara and ten minutes from Killybegs. We enjoyed the continental breakfasts, very health. We would certainly plan to stay here again. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my stay at An Charraig Ban, its a beautiful house with a spacious room for storage and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was also a great size. The breakfast was lovely and the views looking out the bay window were spectacular. The hosts were very helpful and friendly especially with directions and their knowledge of the area. There is also plenty of parking at the property.

Top class. The B+B was very easy to find on the main Killybegs road outside Ardara but close enough to get a 10 euro taxi into Ardara in the evening for dinner at Nancy's and to enjoy music and pints at The corner House pub. Our room was large with ensuite with a spacious shower.. Immaculately clean. The TV and the tea/coffee facilities were also appreciated. The hosts Helen and Gerard were very welcoming and generous with local knowledge. Nearby attractions include the scenicTeelin pier, where you can take a boat trip on the Nuala Star to appreciate the majesty of the sliabh Liag cliffs from below. . We drove back to ardara via glencolmcille, taking in the stunning views of the Glengesh pass on route. On Sunday we visited the stunningly beautiful Maghera Strand and made a quick stop at Assaranca waterfall on the way. A great place to stay on the wild Atlantic way,

It was perfect for our needs

An Charraig Ban was convenient to Ardara for an evening meal. I'd recommend a visit to Assaranca Waterfall and a drive through the nearby Glengesh Pass (towards Ardara from Glencolumbkille direction). The host was very accommodating, the room was clean and well-equipped, and the continental breakfast was great. I'd happily return if travelling in that area again.

Nothing - I had everything I needed.

Helen was a great host - and very responsive - breakfast was amazing. My daughter Talitha loved staying at An Charraig Ban and has been telling the rest of the family all about her trip. We also got good tips for dinner in Killybegs. Thank you so much Helen!

Nothing, all was perfect - and what we were looking for - thanks Helen!

An Charraig saved the day. Last minute booking due to someone cancelling on us. Meeting the owners Helen and Gerrard was very nice. Very welcoming and willing to engage in conversation which is always nice. Location was lovely and peaceful and only a few miles from Killybegs. From there we were able to explore the high cliffs and Silver Strand beach. Absolutely stunning. On arriving back to the accommodation, feeling a bit tired, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a good nights sleep in a very comfortable firm bed. Breakfast was catered for and met our expectations. Thank you for a lovely stay. We hope to return again someday.
