    Honestly, Bundoran in Sept (and mid-week at that) is slow. I don't know if the funfair will still be running mid-week, but even if it is you won't need to schedule more than a couple hours there. If I were you, I'd try to plan some local excursions - surfing if you're into it, or the adventure/water centres, or other Donegal attractions. There are arcades & a cinema, but not much else if the weather's off.

    Grand Centrale is as good as any of them.

    Enjoy your trip!

    Thanks for that. Could you recommend a good pub?

    Sorry, can't help there. I know there are a number of pubs & a couple nightclubs but it's been awhile since I would've had the opportunity to go out (kids do that to you!) so wouldn't know of anything recent.

    Maddens (corner of Kinlough road) is a good spot for a bit of grub.
