I have stayed at Woodhill House every year since 2007. Nancy and John Yates were the hosts. Nancy's family owns Nancy's in town (another great visit). Unfortunately Nancy passed away a couple of summers ago. John is a little sad but a great host. The food is wonderful but I do miss Nancy's Irish Whiskey ice cream. I love the... More

Stayed for two nights in early March '13 for a vacation. Booked the room on our way there just few hours before arriving. We slept in the recently refurbished building just outside the main house. The room was really spacious and it would have been really lovely in the summer time with a small garden at the back. The bed... More

We came spent 2 evenings here midweek in October. Pretty sure we were the only guests. John was tending the property as his son was on holiday. He was a very hospitable host & offered great conversation. Our room was one of the garden room I believe, which was lovely. The room was a tad bit dated but that really... More

It was a little hard to find in the dark, but we were welcomed in from the cold by our courteous host, John. The dinner was very good and the man taking our order gave very good recommendations- we were very happy with our meal. We stayed in the guesthouse. Our room took a while to warm up, but overall...

Beds had been arranged for all 30 of us ranging in age from 80 to 2.The rooms were spacious clean and comfortable. We... More

Warm, charming, friendly, renovated with taste and respect for history, a lovely escape from inpersonal blandness. Large rooms, lush views especially from our balcony which looked down on the creative gardens and surrounding hillsides and town. The terrific Irish breakfast included a good variety cold table as well as made to order hot dishes with wonderful homemade Irish soda bread.... More

When I was looking for somewhere for a relaxing break in Donegal, Woodhill House kept popping up but the web site was a bit amateurish, it didn’t grab me as anything special and there were a couple of critical comments on review sites about the food. How wrong could I have been? We had arranged to meet family for an... More

We spent a night at the Woodhill House Hotel to celebrate a birthday party. The food was delicious, the accomodation very clean and comfortable, but most of all the hotel has wonderful character. This is certainly somewhere I'd like to spend a couple of days with a good book and a pint in front of the log fire!
