About us
Arranmore Island is one of the most westerly points of Europe, steeped in the Irish language, heritage and culture. It is one of the few remaining places where Irish is still spoken as a first language, though as almost all the locals are bilingual, you will have no problem being understood!
It is an ideal holiday location for both sea and lake angling, walking, cycling, snorkelling and diving, exploring the culture and learning Irish, archaeology, wildlife, pubs, music and nightlife. Or just the perfect holiday for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of mainland life and who appreciate the beautiful natural scenery on an island of peace and tranquillity.
Enjoy home fires, home cooking, and the famous home welcomes.
Arranmore Island is approximately three miles off the Irish coast. Travel to and from the island is by local ferry, and all ferries leave the mainland from Burtonport Harbour (journey: 15 minutes approximately).
Accommodation
Ours is a family-run business and you will feel that as soon as you are welcomed at the door.
Located on Arranmore Island, one of the most westerly points of Europe off the tip of Ireland's dramatic and historically-steeped West Coast, our Guest House is a superbly appointed newly renovated building overlooking the magnificent beach and bay of Aphort.
We have 20 bedrooms, all en-suite, many of which have superior views over the Atlantic ocean and surrounding islands.
Our staff have already established a reputation of extending real Irish hospitality with their friendly and efficient service.
After a day spent fishing, diving, exploring our magnificent scenery or just relaxing on the beach, come home to experience traditional home-cooking in our Guest Dining Room whilst overlooking the magnificent Bay of Aphort (please mention upon booking if you wish to enjoy your evening meals with us).
Afterwards relax with a pint of the black stuff in our Bar, enjoying a real turf fire, stunning ocean views and many an impromptu traditional Irish music session.
Served by an excellent and frequent car ferry service from Burtonport, the island is only 15 minutes away from the mainland. Car parking is directly outside in our private car park.
Arranmore Island (Oileán Árainn Mhór) c.1600. ‘Great ridge’

Population: 522, rising to over 1000 in summer months
Arranmore Island, Oileán Árainn Mhór, is in the Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region), although the inhabitants are mostly bilingual. Arranmore Island is three miles from the Donegal mainland coast and has been inhabited since the early Iron Age (800 BC) - a prehistoric triangular fort can still be seen on the southern side. The western and northern parts are wild and rugged, scenery characteristic of the Rosses area of Donegal with hills, rocks, small lakes and spectacular cliff scenery. There has been a lighthouse on Rinrawros Point since 1798.
A walking path, the Arranmore Way, circles the island and off the southwestern tip is Green Island, a bird sanctuary for corncrakes, snipes and a variety of seabirds. It is an ideal holiday location for walking, learning Irish, hearing traditional Irish music, diving, bird-watching, cycling, pubs and nightlife and sea and lake angling. The clear waters and numerous marine life make it ideal for snorkeling and SCUBA diving. Two lakes have brown trout and one has Rainbow trout breeding naturally. Boats for sea angling can be hired and there are abundant cod, ling, conger eel, pollock, wrasse, skate, turbot and plaice. There are also many small secluded beaches in addition to the main beaches at Aphort and Leabgarrow.
Arranmore is twinned with Beaver Island, Michigan since October 2000. The initial connection came about when Charlie O'Donnell, his wife and their three young children emigrated to Beaver Island after being evicted from their Arranmore home in 1851, at the height of the Irish famine. The Beaver Island memorial was constructed on Arranmore to commemorate the islands' joint history. The set of statues consist of a beaver (representing Beaver Island) and otter (representing Arranmore Island) and a fish representing the links between the two.
Arranmore Island is steeped in history, myths and legends.
Experience a taste of real Ireland in this relaxed, beautiful and homely setting, in one of the few truly Gaeltacht (Irish speaking) areas still in existence.
