Anchored between the Barnesmore Gap and The Drumboe Woods in County Donegal, The Roadhouse has been part of the landscape since 1900. First brought to life by Sarah McCool and her husband, it has weathered time, change, and generations of stories. Yet through it all, one thing has endured: the steadfast spirit of Irish hospitality, the warmth of a family-run inn, and the sense of community that has always defined this place.

​

Cross our threshold and you’ll be welcomed as though you’ve always belonged - whether you’re a neighbour from down the road or a weary traveller exploring our county. Settle into the warmth of our historic bar and savor what many call Donegal’s Best Pint of Guinness. Or linger a little longer in our newly refurbished bar/ restaurant, where  Chef Agnes serves up comforting, home-cooked dishes that celebrate both tradition and fresh local flavor.

​

Whether you plan ahead with a reservation or prefer to wander in on a whim, you’ll always find a table waiting. Here, every visit is more than a meal - it’s a memory made, a story shared, and a welcome you won’t forget.
