The Allingham Arms has a dance hall and music bar at the heart of its entertainment programme, with live performances throughout the year; the hotel describes itself as a country-music venue. Its bars serve bar food, there is a restaurant, and a leisure centre is listed among the on-site amenities. This family-run hotel stands in Bundoran’s West End on the Donegal coast, close to the beach, town centre and local amenities. The name recalls local poet William Allingham, while the hotel’s published history says Florinda Allingham named the property Allingham Lodge in the 1840s. It sits on the main N15 road between Sligo and Donegal, and regular bus connections serve Bundoran.
