Staying at Woodhill house was like a step back in time. We stayed in the coach house, 17th century! We walked into the village for supper. And had a great evening. Breakfast the next morning was so well done.

Woodhill was a charming and comfortable place to stay despite being dated and in need of a bit of a makeover. The hotel breakfast was great and the location was fantastic with stunning views from our room. It was a pleasant 7 minute walk into the centre of Ardara where we had a great meal in Nancy's bar.

The breakfast menu was amazing and the bar offered a great selection of drinks. Our room was lovely. Very comfortable. There is a walled garden and historic out buildings. The property is very historic and it has a lot of charm. It has a great atmosphere. It was nice to talk to John at the bar and other guests. So friendly.

Woodhill House is a charming old manor house in a lovely little town. The room was spacious and clean and the area was very quiet. Breakfast was delicious, though they only start serving at 8:30am so plan accordingly. John was a very welcoming host and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Woodhill House if you are in the Ardara area.
