We are traveling from Derry to Westport and think staying in this part of Donegal might be worth breaking up the trip, rather than my current plan to do a loop in one day & return to Derry. Any thoughts on the best town and a good B&B?
Thanks

Glenties or other towns in the area would be ok too.

Can't help with the B&B but I like Ardara,actually any of them should be fine. Great part of Ireland, largely ignored by most Americans in their rush to see Dingle,Blarney and Aran Islands.

If you don't mind a wee bit of a side trip and some beautiful coastal scenery on the Atlantic Drive, Fisherman's Village Lodge in Downings, Co. Donegal has a great B&B. They also run a charter fishing boat. The Singing Pub is nearby and is very popular.
A stop at the Belleek China Factory has a great tour inside the factory where you see the step-by-step process and you can talk to the workers. Of course you also have the opportunity to spend a little money.
Co. Donegal is a little rugged and remote but well worth seeing and it's not as touristy.
