Ideally situated for exploring Irelands Wild Atlantic Way coastal route. Couldn't fault our week long stay here and would be more than happy to book again.

It was perfect for us and our small dog. It is warm and well maintained - very comfortable. Ann the owner is very friendly and helpful and left us a nice 'welcome pack' with cake, wine and biscuits. Our only small criticism would be that the kitchen is not that well equipped (no smaller plates, only a few bowls - bring a potato peeler!). There are no recycle bins (or indeed, any external bins) and recyclable materials need to be taken off site but this was not a major inconvenience. We would recommend this home and, if you can't find peace and tranquility in the 'hills' (and beaches) of North Donegal, there's really no hope for you... Trevor and Elaine
