Where to start ? What a fantastic find the Inishowen Lodge is. 5 Stars from start to finish ! Speedy replies when booking. Darren was there to great us and gave us a great welcome, offering tea as soon as we came through the door ! Great big living room just for guests was well stocked with books, games and a selection of musical instruments including a piano . Large open fire set and ready to light in the cooler evenings.
Views from the property are spectacular and you can see Magilligan and Benone beach on the far side of the water. Our room was really big and included a double bed and a single as well as a large wardrobe, dressing table and chairs for relaxing. Dual aspect windows and a velux meant the room was bright and airy. A small tv had loads of channels, not just a few local giving you plenty to choose from.
A well stocked tea tray and kettle are provided, with access in the hall to a fridge containing fresh milk and bottled water. The en-suite was roomy and had a good shower. Some nice touches included shampoo, shower gel and hand soap with fresh flowers on the beside unit. A Book with breakfast order form and local amenities was beside the bed. Just tick what you want and leave it down before bed. Wi-fi was free and the signal was grand. Breakfast had a good choice and we would recommend the French toast, bacon and maple syrup, although the fry was also delicious. Fresh fruit, yogurt and a selection of cereals are also available. Along with juice, water and of course tea and coffee. Homemade wheaten was also a nice touch. Our host Darren, was great. He cooked the breakfast and was always on hand. His knowledge of the local area is second to none and nothing was too much trouble for him. You can come and go as you please and it really is a home from home. The place was spotlessly clean and overall we couldn’t fault it. We hope to return over the summer and have already been recommending the lodge to friends and family. Keep it up folks !
