This is one of the best B&B we have stayed in to date. We arrived late on a Friday evening, but our host greeted us warmly. The rooms were big, comfy, and warm. There was also tea, coffee and chocolates in the rooms... a warm welcome indeed! An electric heater and an electric blanket were also available, something which we... More

Having stayed in many B&Bs and hotels there are none quite like the Gap Lodge. Close to Donegal Town and the beautiful Barnesmore Gap, The Gap Lodge offers a great place for a night's kip or stay with beds so comfy you would nearly not want to leave! A wonderful B&B with a great breakfast to start the day and... More

I was on a five-day cycling challenge along that famous Irish cycling route- Mizen Head to Malin Head. We were coming through Donegal between Donegal town and Ballybofey. Just before the beautiful Barnes Gap we came upon "Gap Lodge". It was getting dark and time to stop for the night. We knocked on the door and were greeted by Sile... More

We had such a wonderful stay with Sile at the Gap Lodge. She was a fantastic host and we enjoyed wonderful conversation and the best breakfast we ever had in Ireland. When we left it felt like we were leaving a dear friend. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The home is off a main road but was... More

Sheila we so enjoyed our stay with you - thank you for the warm hospitality. We loved your sense of humor and family atmosphere. Mom and I were very comfortable, the room was great, and location was perfect--just outside of town. We are so glad we connected through the Blueberry! Thanks!

I ve been here plenty of time and it s always a big pleasure to stay. The place is spectacular, the owners of the b & b are like friends for us and they are very kind. Breakfast is simply the best of Ireland. Believe me! I ve been to Ireland for 20 years every year!
