    Might be a wee bit chilly depending on the weather as its located on the North Atlantic. Its a good tourist town and I suppose the season doesnt really end till after the bank holiday.

    You shouldnt have any problems getting a B & B and Im sure a pint and a TV can be found handy enough. Nor sure about where to eat as Im not in that area but give it a wee while and you should get a few more replies here.

    yes, its a great place to visit... weather can be a hard one to call though. Local hotels are Arnolds and the Carraig Rua, both do decent food and have nice bars, tv etc. Cafe on the main square called Muck n Muffins, really nice food, but go when its quieter, it can get a bit crowded. A couple of very nice pubs, Mollys on the upper main street, and there is a night club called Roonies across the road, where it seems the whole town goes afetr hours. Very scenic area, the coast road around Horn Head is breath taking. You are not far from Glenveagh Castle which is a great place to visit, they have a golden eagle sanctuary there. Also, Ards forest park is nearby, its on the coast and has a few orienteering trails. If your a golfer, Dunfanaghy has an 18 hole links, which Im told is a nice course. There are a good few B and Bs in town, also self catering places. I dont know any off hand I could recommend though, you probably could get a deal in one of the hotels. Enjoy the visit.

    I would recomend The Cove Restaurant, which is in Port Na Blagh, which is right beside Dunfanaghy.

    Or The Mill Restaurant http://themillrestaurant.com/

    I think there's 2 proper hotels in Dunfanaghy along with loads of B&B's and a few pubs aswell, so you shouldn't have any bother finding somewhere to stay or to watch the football.

    If you're in Dunfanaghy you may as well check out the beaches and climb the mountains. Even if it is getting colder!

    Moore's holiday homes are a collection of cottages. They might suit. Otherwise, plenty of B&Bs, as said above.
