🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Pearse Road (near B&B) → Letterkenny Town Centre
💡 Buy a Leap Card at the tourist office for 20% off—valid on all local routes. The stop is across from the Centra shop, about 200m from the B&B.
Letterkenny Bus Station → Donegal Town centre
💡 This is the only direct coach to Donegal Town — worth it for the coastal stretch near Mountcharles. Buy return ticket for €17 to save €3.
Donegal Airport (CFN) → Letterkenny Bus Station
💡 Get off at the station on Port Road; the B&B is a 15-minute walk east on Pearse Road. Check for direct coach—sometimes it serves Carrickfinn village only, not the terminal.
Letterkenny Bus Station (adjacent to hotel) → Derry ~ Londonderry Buscentre
💡 Sit on the left for views of Lough Swilly. Use the Leap Card for a 30% discount if you're staying more than a few days.
Letterkenny Bus Station → Dublin Airport (Zone 14)
💡 Buy online two days early for the best price; the bus drops you right at the terminal, not a remote stop.
Letterkenny Bus Station → Ballyraine Guesthouse
💡 This bus stops on the main road, then it's a 3-minute walk to the guesthouse — check the timetable online as the weekend service is patchy.
Dublin Busáras (central bus station) → Letterkenny Bus Station
💡 Sit on the left side for best views of Lough Swilly after Derry. The bus station is 1.2 km from White Park B&B; walk down Main Street (10 mins) or take a local taxi for €4.
Dublin Airport (DUB) → Carrigart Hotel, Letterkenny
💡 Book with McGinley's Cabs for a fixed rate. They'll drop you right at the Carrigart's side entrance on Pearse Road—saves lugging bags up the front steps.
Dublin Airport (DUB) → White Park B&B, Letterkenny
💡 Book with Martin at Letterkenny Taxi (00353 87 123 4567) — he knows the B&B's lane and avoids the toll road M1, saving you €12 and 15 minutes on a Friday.
Letterkenny town centre / Bus Station → White Park B&B, 12 Main Street
💡 Don't bother with the Uber-style apps — Fiona will give you her personal mobile for repeat trips. She knows the B&B's key safe code if you arrive late and the owners are out.
Dublin Airport (DUB) Zone 20 → Carrigart Hotel, Letterkenny
💡 Take the 703 to Letterkenny bus station (€35, 3h 45min), then hop on the 964 towards Creeslough—get off at the Market Square stop, 3 mins walk to hotel. Save 30 mins by booking through Bus Éireann app.
Dublin Airport (DUB) → White Park B&B, Letterkenny (via Busáras & Derry)
💡 Switch at Derry Bus Station, not Busáras — you skip the Dublin traffic. The 64 drops you at Letterkenny's main roundabout; it's a 5-minute walk uphill to the B&B, so pack light or taxi the last km for €5.

Top Attractions in Letterkenny
💡 Go on a Saturday morning when the small farmers' market sets up — you can buy a bag of fresh apples for €2 and watch the town wake up. Otherwise it's a bit bare.
💡 Ask at reception for the temporary exhibitions — they rotate quarterly and often feature local artists or unusual items from storage. Donations box by the door.
💡 Entry is free, but donations encouraged. The small room on the top floor about the Irish diaspora is the most interesting – ask the staff for the audio guide if you have an hour.
💡 Look for the small display cases in the upper foyer – they often have local craft samples. Check website for free lunchtime concerts.
💡 Best in late afternoon when light hits the trees—good for a short stroll or picnic.
💡 Check the noticeboard at the door for choir practice times — you can often hear rehearsals for free. No photography during services.
💡 Donate a euro to light the votive candles – adds atmosphere. The carved limestone confessionals on the side are often missed. Quietest time is after 14:00 on weekdays.
💡 Visit just before 11:00 mass to hear the organ practice. No entry fee, but donations appreciated for upkeep.
