This is a cute little detached apartment that sits right next to the owner’s home, overlooking the Atlantic south of Donegal. It could be a really great place to stay with a few standard amenities.
-There were no dish cloths to wipe up spills or messes (we have 2 young kids).
-There were no kitchen towels to dry hands or dishes. We had to use a bathroom hand towel.
-There were only about 6 squares of toilet paper on the roll when we arrived, and no extra rolls. We didn’t realize this before the owner’s daughter showed up to give us the 30-second welcoming and orientation. We went next door in the rain to ask for some more (as the owners told us to do so if anything was needed), but no one came to the door. We arrived around 8:30pm, and went over about an hour later. We ended up using Kleenex that we had with us.
-The place looked clean when we arrived. It had been raining all day, and we took off our shoes/boots at the door. Our socks were black after a short while. It seems the place needs a good mopping.
Be aware that the bathroom sink has separate faucets for hot and cold water, and the hot water gets HOT! It would definitely be a burn risk for children, so I would advise them to only use the cold water faucet.
Our night there was a rain-out and fog-out, but I’m sure the view is fantastic when the weather is good.
We had an ok stay. I would recommend it with a few minor changes noted above. Be aware that Donegal’s weather is quite iffy, so if you really want to see something like Slieve League, try to give yourself a few days in case it doesn’t work out the first day. We didn’t have that luxury, and knew we were risking it when we only allotted a day. So if you’re gonna go off the beaten path into Donegal, stay a few extra days to give yourself extra time to see what you want.
