The house is far from perfect, but if you need good value accommodation for a big group and like the beach, then you can't beat it.
There was no-one to meet us, but the key was easily found in the lock box. On entry, it appeared that the rugs hadn't been hoovered properly and there was a thick layer of dust on some of the surfaces. The instruction booklet was hard to follow and needs a bit of updating, much like the house itself, but once you get past all that and see how close the beach is, you realise that you have a good place to stay for a fantastic price.
The thing we found harder to ignore was that the tap water wasn't drinkable and the host didn't warn us of this before we arrived. It was only on day two that we realised it smelled funny and with the petrol station next door, we were understandably concerned that the kids, including a 5 month old, had been drinking it. It turned out this was a common problem in the Buncrana area, but we obviously had no idea. Also, the toaster was rubbish, some of the bedroom windows were missing curtains and a couple of the beds were soft in the middle, but it still offered us more or less everything that we needed and the outdoor space was incredible.
Overall, we had a great time and would definitely return to the area. The house would be amazing if given some updates, but then it probably would have been out of our budget. Still, things like the cleaning, the booklet and information on the drinking water would have improved the quality of the stay immensely with little extra cost.
