One of the cleanest room you could find. A perfect place to stay and explore the fabulous beaches and amenities of that part of Donegal.
The owners are lovely and made us feel like home. They gave us great suggestions both for dining and exploring the area.
We were only there for a quick overnight stay, but everything was wonderful! Very clean, great location, super friendly, and a delicious breakfast. I would highly recommend a stay here!
The hosts were very hospitable.
Accomodation was very clean and the bed super comfy.
Couldn't fault the breakfast; pancakes & fruit were delicious and the cooked breakfast was very good.

We really enjoyed our stay. Clara amd her husband made us very welcome. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and was spotless. Breakfast was delicious and Clara even made us a take away breakfast as we left early in the morning.
Set in a beautiful location. Would highly recommend a stay here.
We had a wonderful 3 nights at Madra Rua. The breakfasts were excellent and we found it a perfect location from which to explore the Inishowen Peninsula. Comfortable beds and we had a great view of the bay. Highly recommended.
We had the perfect stay in the Madra Rua and everything was perfect. The hosts were amazing and could not do enough for us. The breakfast was like no other and we absolutely recommend this B&B 5* all round. Photo is the view from the breakfast room.
Clara and Germán are the nicest, friendliest people. We loved our stay, even if the weather was a wee bit cold and windy. They were very welcoming and the accommodations were impeccable.
The loveliest host, so welcoming and warm. Beautiful rooms and dining area. Very homely. Very clean and well facilitated with toiletries etc. thank you so much for your hospitality.
Clara and German are wonderful hosts. Very friendly and helpful!! The room is clean and comfortable. And, the breakfast is awesome. We recommend anyone who visits Ireland should stay here for one or more nights to enjoy relaxing trips in the countryside.
What a lovely b&b! The hosts were so friendly and made us a delicious breakfast (we chose the Spanish option). Everything was thoughtfully done in the place. Organic bedding, lovely little toiletries.
Could not have been better. Not sure when (if) we’ll get to that part of Ireland again, but will definitely book here should the opportunity present itself.
On arrival Clara welcomed us and we talked for a long time. She showed us our room and where we could get tea and coffe and took our orders for breakfast. There was a lounge downstairs you could sit to watch tv and have your tea/coffee.Breakfast had a wide choice to choose from.
I can't find a fault with anything about my Stay even if I wanted to, from the moment we arrived until the moment we left it was excellent, comfortable beds, clean, tidy, hosts were best I've ever experienced, I would definitely have no hesitation in staying again, and would recommend madra rua to anyone.
We loved our stay at Madra Rua.
Everything about it is excellent...the room, the organic bedding and toiletries, the breakfast and of course the friendly hosts. Their attention to detail is very special. This made our time in this lovely B&B very comfortable.
Thankyou Clara and Germain. We hope to return soon for more pampering.

We had a wonderful one night stay at Madra Rua in Ballyliffin room. The room was a good size with lovely sheets and towels. The owners are a lovely couple who also suggested we have dinner at Simpsons which was a good choice. Breakfast at Madra Rua was a hearty Spanish omelette and pancakes with fresh fruit served in a charming room. Highly recommended.
This place was wonderful and everything was spot on. The breakfast was possibly the best we’ve had since being in Ireland and when they advertise ‘organic’ they really mean it. I would highly recommend this place if youre looking around this area as I can’t believe there would be better. Thank you Clara for your wonderful hospitality.
