My husband and I stayed here with our dog Maisie and we loved it. We were blessed with great weather and were able to spend a good bit of time on the beach, we picked up some oysters on our way in moville and sat on the beach and had them with champagne, the second night we had a bbq & lit a fire as the sun went down. Absolute bliss!! The house is warm, clean and cosy. This is a house on a working farm and the animals are very much a part of your stay, on the first morning we woke up to a family of horses at the front door, they are so friendly and one of the young ones followed me around, no doubt looking for treats! You will see a lot of cows and sheep as well. I loved watching the horses frolicking on the adjacent hill, they were so happy just playing all day.
We ate at the Seaview Tavern which is a short drive away, good food, generous portions and reasonably priced, the shop next to it is the only local shop and it’s quite expensive so bring as much food and provisions with you as you can. I’d recommend taking bottled water as well. You can see Malin Head from the house and it’s about a 15 walk to the top. There are other great walks from your front door.
There is no wifi in the house and very little signal but you do forget about your phone and we found it nice to disconnect.
John was a great host who was always on hand but left us to it. We will definitely book again it was a magical experience I will never forget.
