ABOUT ARAS BnB

Aras is a B&B in Glencolmcille, West Donegal, Ireland. We are a family run Bed and Breakfast with a homely feel. 

Our guests describe Aras as a ‘home away from home’. A short 5 minute drive takes you to the quaint little town of Glencolmcille (Glencolumbkille), and a 15 minute drive gets you to the world famous Slieve League Sea Cliffs, offering spectacular views or breath taking hiking. The famous Silver Strand Beach is also just a short 8 minute drive away.

We offer great value accommodation to suit your needs, whether that’s a family room for a week long break, a single room for a night, or a large group of up to 50 guests.

Pick from over 20 rooms, cozy up in our large kitchen area with its own rustic fireplace, and kick your feet up in our large lounging area. We do everything we can to ensure you get the most that Donegal has to offer; just ask us for one of our area and activity guides. We look forward to your visit.

Very enjoyable. My family and i had originally planned to stay one night but decided to spend two. I can't think of anything that could have been better.
