We just arrived home from the most amazing time at Sea View Bundoran.
Eilish was the most gracious, hospitable, and attentive host we could have ever hoped for. She was in constant communication with us from the time we booked to well after we left. We arrived late on a Saturday night after a long day of traveling and not such great luck with a rental car (waiting 5 hours for our car then getting a flat tire). We walked into this beautiful home with tea and coffee and biscuits and homemade bread, jam, and chutney waiting for us! We felt welcomed at once! We stayed a week and Eilish was in contact every couple of days making sure we had everything we needed. Her immediate response to any of our questions was so appreciated. When we asked for local suggestions, she would actually CALL the place...... restaurants, pubs playing live traditional irish music, where to get take-away fish and chips! One restaurant she suggested The Courthouse in Kinlough, was exceptional and only 10 min from the house. We went to the Maddens Bridge Bar twice and really enjoyed ourselves!.
The house itself was more than comfortable with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and two electric showers and a full sized bathtub. I think what we enjoyed the most was the view of the water and Slieve League across the bay with beautiful sunsets and swans visiting us every morning. Even some surfers when the waves were right! We had a fire in the fireplace one night and I have to admit we didn't go out to the pubs as much as we expected but stayed in and played board games (provided) because we were so comfortable in this home.
Slieve League was maybe an hour away and we lucked out with a perfectly blue sky warm day to enjoy that wonder! We bought tweeds in Donegal and in Ardara watching the weavers demonstrate on traditional looms! We went to Sligo amazed at the site of Benbulben all along the way. A hike up Knocknarea to the 3400BC Cairn proved well worth the 40min hike with the sheep.
I could go on and on about the areas we visisted while based at Eilish's house but you'll just have to see for yourselves.
I would highly recommend a stay at Sea View. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you Eilish! I hope we can return someday!
