The location is second to none. The sea is literally lapping up below the balcony, and that is the sound you fall asleep to every night. I spent lots of time on the balcony with my baby in his paddling pool. The balcony gets the sun from early morning to the evening time. Heaven!

This is a genuine Irish cottage/home, thoughtfully restored and cared for and in a beautiful location - quiet, scenic and with stunning beaches on your doorstep. We were made feel very welcome, thanks to Harry and his wife who are close by -we enjoyed the chance to learn a bit about the local area and the history of the cottage. We loved the character of the cottage and the fact that it was really well furnished with everything you could need (plenty of kitchen ware for family dining, extra bedding, books, games with interest for all ages ) - we were three generations in one family group and we all had a very happy, peaceful and relaxing holiday. We loved it and hope to return! Almost forgot to say thanks for the turf which ensured we had a very homely fire in the evening.

    The location was brilliant - It felt very private. The beach is a 2 minute walk from the front door. You can walk into town via a seaside path in 30 mins. There is an open fire, & conservatory with a sea view, which is lovely. The property had all the stuff you needed. Great wifi.

    The location was perfect. We weren't on the beach but it was minutes away. It was easy to access the town of Buncrana which we know well Breakfast was excellent and offered a very wide choice at the buffet as well as a cooked breakfast which was delicious. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely return.💚
