Affordable B&B in or near Donegal Town?

Question

I want to spend 2-3 weeks in Donegal this summer (middle of July - middle of August): hiking, swimming, reading writing.

Can anybody recommend a B&B I can afford - simple but clean?

Thanks

Does it have to be Donegal town or would you consider northeast Donegal (the Inishowen Peninsula)?  

As you're planning on coming over during peak season, you won't get any massive discounts. Be sure to book early too, because a lot of places fill up.

The rates for all approved accommodation are set by the tourist board so you won't find a lot of variation on their websites (http://www.donegaldirect.com). That's where you should start if you want to be near Donegal town.

If you are interested in coming to Inishowen, I highly recommend Linsfort Castle (http://www.linsfortcastle.com). Remember 'castle' in Ireland means 'big house.' Check out the website. It's wonderful, especially if you like walking on the beach or in the hills.  They haven't gone for tourist board status but the place is amazing. So you'll get particularly good value there.

Westbrook House and Marine Lodge are tourist-board approved B&Bs and absolutely first-rate.

Also Tullyarvan Mill runs a hostel where you can get private rooms or dorm-like accommodation from €15 per night. It's brand new. (http://www.tullyarvanmill.com)

These are all near Buncrana, which you can check out at http://www.buncrana.com.

Two more places I really recommend are Sandrock Holiday Hostel (http://www.sandrock.com) at Port Ronan, Malin Head and Trean farmhouse (http://www.treanhouse.com)  They're out of the way but absolutely spectacular.

Let me know how you get on.

15 min from Donegal Town there is Ballybofey.

Jackson's Hotel is a great place with about 70€ per night including breakfast, a pub and in a package dinner already included it makes you feel like home in the warm atmosphere and comfortable rooms.
