1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a wonderful stay. My husband and I are traveling on our honeymoon and they made it so special for us. From special notes and Prosecco in our room to remembering where we wanted to sit for dinner and putting us in the same spot for breakfast. Rooms are nicely updated (carpets are a bit tired) but the location, trad music, bar and restaurant are amazing. Highly recommend a stay at the Arnold's Hotel.
Jasmine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great base for sightseeing

Lovely hotel in the heart of Dunfanaghy. Rooms are a decent size, beds are comfortable. Food in the hotel was really good, had both dinner and breakfast. Staff were absolutely fabulous. Hotel is near to lots of sights around the area too, so makes a great base for sightseeing.
