Arnolds Hotel in Dunfanaghy is a brilliant Wild Atlantic Way base for a Donegal golf break—welcoming guests with the kind of genuine hospitality that only a fourth-generation, family-owned hotel can offer. Set right in the heart of the village and looking out over Sheephaven Bay, Arnolds combines a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with the convenience of being close to everything Dunfanaghy has to offer.
For golfers, the location is ideal. You’re just a short stroll from the spectacular links at Dunfanaghy Golf Club, making it easy to fit in a morning round and still enjoy a leisurely afternoon exploring North Donegal. Beyond the fairways, you’ll find standout attractions nearby—from Horn Head scenic drive and Killahoey Beach to Glenveagh National Park, Doe Castle, and Ards Forest Park—plus plenty of cafés, galleries, craft shops, and lively pubs in the village once evening rolls around.
Back at the hotel, guests can settle in with warm open fires, a welcoming bar and lounge, a cocktail lounge, and a restaurant that champions local produce from land and sea. As members of the Donegal Food Coast, Arnolds’ menus regularly feature fresh local seafood, Horn Head lamb, and seasonal ingredients—along with homemade breads, bakes, and desserts that make post-round dining something to look forward to.
With 30 tastefully decorated guestrooms (many with sea or garden views), complimentary WiFi and parking, outdoor dining pods, and even on-site wellness options—including hairdressing, massage, and beauty treatments—Arnolds is a comfortable, character-filled choice for couples, families, and groups looking to combine great golf with classic Donegal scenery and village charm.
