Woodhill House

Great, friendly staff and atmosphere. His trip, suggestions and help with finding all the picturesque sites on the map made our day!

We stayed in the coach house room built in 1600’s, so quaint and so much character. The gardens are stunning, even though it was raining, took a quick walk to appreciate them. Lots of breakfast choices cooked to your liking. John (the owner) was lovely and took the time to explain the property to us.

Nice area, rooms just ok!

wonderful house, great room and breakfast.

Great place with great breakfast

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.

An elegant old property suffering from deferred maintenance due to its’ age and complexity!

John was a great host and the room was fantastic!

We loved our stay at the Woodhill house. The host was amazing. We enjoyed a late dinner, drink, and conversation in the cozy bar/lounge the night of our arrival. Breakfast the following morning was delicious and the staff was very attentive. The property is older and needs some TLC, but still charming and well worth the money and drive.

Great place...Masterpiece in action...

Lovely historic old home/inn. Quiet. Convenient walk into town for dining.

There wasn’t much we liked about it. The welcome was lukewarm. The pictures are not a bit accurate; sooo outdated and the “gardens” have not been looked after for decades it seems. The shower was a trickle of lukewarm water. The food was not great. The so-called bar was not a welcoming gathering area. We were excited to leave.

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!!!!

It was so beautiful and felt very welcoming. The gardens and buildings were lovely.

A hidden gem in Ardara —peaceful, charming, and relaxing. I stayed with my family at Woodhill House in Ardara for one night during our recent trip to Ireland, and it was easily one of the most memorable stays of our holiday. The house is nestled in a secluded, bucolic setting surrounded by beautiful gardens, mature trees, and stone work that add to its peaceful charm. The atmosphere was incredibly serene, a true retreat from the hustle and bustle. The house itself felt more like a warm, welcoming home compared to any other place we stayed. It’s full of character, with personal touches, family photos, antiques, and heirlooms that give it a rich sense of history and comfort. The bar and dining areas are equally inviting. The dining room is elegant without being stuffy, and the bar/den is cozy and full of charm. John, the owner, was friendly and very accommodating, and all the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They were kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in us and our trip, which made the experience feel even more special. The included traditional Irish breakfast was one of the best I had during my entire two-week trip. It was generous, absolutely delicious, and beautifully prepared. Ardara is truly a special place. I can't recommend "Triona - Donegal Tweed Visitor Centre" enough! I would highly recommend staying here, and I’d return in a heartbeat. A truly special place that feels like stepping into a peaceful, well-loved corner of Ireland.

Staff was great but room was very dirty. We got there late so I didn’t bring it to the staffs attention. It was old and dirty.

Location is beautiful

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.

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.

Enjoyed its slightly faded grandeur. Pity the restaurant is not functioning now, except for breakfast.
