Arnold's Hotel

The headlands of northwest Donegal are famous for scenic mountains, deep glens and towering sea cliffs over the Atlantic Ocean. Arnold's is the perfect base to explore this splendid part of Ireland. The area is awash with colour and texture - from Muckish Mountain brushed with wind and weather, to the three local brown trout fishing lakes of Purt, Sessiagh and New Lake - the natural habitat of swans, duck and other wild fowl that frequent the lakes during the year. Here is the place to unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the scenic landscape of Sheephaven Bay. As you stroll along the golden sands of Killahoey and Tramore, you can absorb the changing landscapes and observe the silent beauty of Muckish Mountain which forms the natural backdrop to Dunfanaghy. Nearby Ards Forest Park, situated in the Ards Peninsula, has miles of walks through beautiful mature trees, miles of sandy beaches, flora and fauna. The breathtaking vistas will leave you feeling refreshed and energised as you relax and amble along. Weekend activity breaks in photography, creative writing and wine tasting and week long painting holidays are available. Arnold's offers access to lake and deep-sea angling and reduced green fees on Dunfanaghy's 18 hole golf links. The stables cater for all levels of experience with beach rides and day long trails. A visit to Glenveagh National Park is a must. RAC 2 Ribbon Award. Open mid March - 3 November
