My husband & I really enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Staff were extremely friendly, helpful & efficient. Breakfasts were delicious with lots of variety. Also we dined in the hotel every night. Again food was of the highest quality & we saw no reason to dine elsewhere

A comfortable stay
We had a good sized comfortable room in this hotel. The hotel breakfast is very good and included both hot and cold options. Hotel is located in heart of village and close to other shops and other bars. Reception was happy to give directions on local beauty spots.

Really liked the hotel and the staff. Nothing was too much bother. Diappointed that there were not more fish options on the menu! Also the seafood linguine contained very little fish. The breakfast menu was extensive, plenty of variety .Food was very tasty. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

This property is a very old building in a town that has had its ups and downs. There isn’t a lot in town aside from pubs and cafes but the food at the hotel is very good and staff are accommodating and congenial. The sea comes in straight across from the hotel and watching the changes as tides recede and come in is relaxing time well spent. I strongly recommend taking a drive to Hogshead, which has a spectacular view after a short climb on foot.

Dunfanaghy Break
From check-in to check-out we were looked after very well by friendly and efficient staff. We were given a free upgrade to a sea view room. The room was large, clean, warm and very comfortable. The bathroom was also spotlessly clean and warm with toiletries provided. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant that night. There was a well varied menu and service was good. There was also a large selection on the breakfast menu - I would definitely recommed the eggs royale. We hope to be back at Arnolds in the not too distant future.

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.
