Johnny B's B&B is very popular holiday destination for visitors to Ballybofey. The accommodation is just five minutes walking distance from the town's shops and main hotels, including Jackson's Hotel, Villa Rose Hotel and Kee's Hotel. Johnny B's is close to all of Ballybofey's many night spots. Testament to the growing popularity of Johnny B's is the increasingly high number of guests who come back time and time again. Please kindly note that rooms 'Twin Room with Shower' and 'Double Room with Extra Bed' are not connected to the main residence but just (200mts.) a 2 minute walk in the direction of the town center. They have a private entrance and additional car parking.
Brigid and John Lyons are your hosts at this attractive family-run Donegal bed and breakfast and with three daughters helping out an excellent service is guaranteed.
Angling: For the serious angler there is the nearby River Finn with its plentiful stocks, particularly of salmon from March to May. The renowned Salmon Leap at Cloghan hold a particular attraction for visitors. On the River Reelin, trout of the sea, coarse and brown varieties are also plentiful. Ballybofey is only a short drive away from Lough Eske. The name means 'Lake abounding in fish' and the three mile long lough is set at the foot of the Blue Stack Mountains. It fishes Salmon, brown and white/Sea Trout. In November there is a tradition of fishing for char, only one of four lakes in Ireland that have them. GAA: McComhaill Park, Ballybofey is the where Donegal GAA plays its home games. Soccer: Donegal's only professional soccer club, Finn Harp of the League of Ireland, plays at finn Park. Golf: Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club has an 18 hole course which is one of the most picturesque in the North West of Ireland. As the golfers go round this testing parkland course they can admire the views of the Finn Valley and the Donegal mountains.
