Probably it would help if a new word was invented to describe the joyful experience of visiting this place. Give and receive blessing and allow your soul to be touched by the beautiful surroundings and the heart of Paul (who looks after everything there). Something of an antidote to the many false claims that the modern world makes upon our... More

The Green Gate is a lovely place not to miss in your journey. For sure it deserves its reputation of ''one of the best B&B of Irlande''. Authentic, simple and unusual, it is the best place to spend a good time feeling like at home ! More than recommended.

When you stay at Green Gate B&B you get so much more than a room with a bed. We received a warm welcome from Paul, the peaceful owner, while being treated to stimulating conversation, helpful hints about where to eat and where to visit in the Adara area, a stunning sea view, a wonderful breakfast, and a sense of calmness...

Went there with with my girlfriend a few weeks ago, upon driving up the mysterious lane leading, we couldn't help but admire the view and surroundings made even better by the smell of burning turf. The room was exactly what we wanted, a nice old style mini cottage, if you want chandeliers and chrome faucets, go to Mayfair, if you... More

The Green Gate is amazing, basic accommodation, do not expect a spa like glossy hotel experience this is rural Ireland complete with brown bath water ( from the peat...amazing for your skin ).

After seeing the Cliffs at Slieve League, we had an amazing drive at sunset to Ardara. Unfortunately, we arrived in Ardara after dark and soon gave up trying to find Green Gate, called Paul, and he graciously met us in town at the Ulster Bank. Good thing, because we never would have believed we were on the right road. It's... More

This bed and breakfast is unlike any other. It provides the most charming, rustic experience possible and does it in a truly unforgettable way. Even the drive up to the cottages was a charming adventure. This is not an up-to-date luxury B&B with all of the bells and whistles. Its a getaway to a simpler lifestyle and a trip back... More

ME and my fiance have just come back from spending a night at the Green Gate. It was an incredible place and a stunning location. What we felt made our stay was the combination of the beautiful scenery and the hospitality of the owner Paul. Photos do not do this place justice, it has to be seen. After a day... More

Two words the Lonely Planet guide used were idyllic and charming. Yes the location is idyllic and the host is charming. And if you want a very rustic experience go for it. The premium room (which we had) stands alone. You can see the magnificent view from the bed (and the bath). But the only way to see it is... More

We just spent 2 wonderful nights with Paul at The Green Gate. His warm hospitality mixed with the gorgeous charm of his cosy cottages is what brought me back a second time. This time I brought my daughter who is 15 months old and a good friend. They both loved the freedom and feeling of isolation, almost like you are... More
