We have just returned from a very relaxing night at the Arches,we found Noreen very welcoming and helpful, such a beautiful house, impecably kept and very clean and comfortble.Breakfast was delicious, promptly served and plenty of it!! We stayed as we went to Harveys Point cabaret night, which was not great! The only downside was that there was torrential rain... more

This was the third time that I have stayed at The Arches Country House and I will continue to return. Although Co. Donegal is a bit remote for many tourists, it is well worth the trip and The Arches is the only place to stay!! Noreen McGinty is charming and consistently ensures that her guests are comfortable and satisfied. The... more

Booked the tour around Ireland and then realised the Champions League final was on Wednesday night. Noreen reasurred us that we would be able to watch either in our room or in the lounge. Sad I know to be in such a beautiful part of Ireland with magnificent views etc and wanting to watch football but some things cannot be... more

I love this place. Great host who is helpful to a fault, good breakfast, nice clean rooms, super views. The only slight drawback I can think of is that it's a few miles from Donegal town - and if it wasn't, you wouldn't have those great views over the Lough. You'll not go wrong here. Do book though, as it... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Arches last weekend for one night on our Donegal trip. It was a very nice, clean and spacious B&B with a fabulous view, overlooking Lough Eske. Bedroom was bright, airy and tastefully decorated. It was a very memorable stay and not too difficult to find. Highly recommend staying there. Breakfast was very picturesque... more

My room was lovely with a magnificent view over the lough (better than any of the hotel views), Noreen made a magnificent breakfast and generally... more

All the guest rooms, dining room and garden have beautiful views of Lough Eske. The Arches is clean, well equipped and spacious and Noreen McGinty is a charming, efficient hostess. Donegal is a stunning county to visit and The Arches is a good base or passing through stop. The only minor drawback (which applies to most of the B&Bs) is... more

Just wanted to say that this place is still great since I haven't seen any recent reviews. Beautiful setting, gracious host, impeccably clean rooms. Fairly dark road to the house after the trad session in Donegal town, but worth the experience. more

Stayed at 7 different B&B's on our recent trip. This was the overall best. Read the previous comments and believe them. View of the lake with a rainbow in view, good food and a pleasant owner. This is a can't miss B&B. more
