Highly recommended. Nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable 4 bedroom house with spectacular views of Tory and Inisboffin islands.
We paid roughly €220 a night (all-in including Airbnb fees) and felt it was good value for money.
We were: two parents, a grandparent and two young kids. There was lots of room - the photos don’t do justice to how spacious it is. Could easily have coped with more kids or adults.
The house is very comfortable and the light is fantastic. Located down a small, quiet cul-de-sac with nice garden. Beautiful uninterrupted views of Inisboffin, Tory and beyond. Interesting DVD collection - we binged on a few Father Ted episodes, given the presence of the various windswept islands around us. Feels more like a home than a holiday home, with all the nice pictures and furniture.
Can walk (20 min) to the pier that accesses Tory Island and Inisboffin. Tory in particular is a very interesting place and Dun Balor at the Eastern end is other-worldly - with the “mischt” and clouds rolling in like some kind of Celtic Valhalla - and, unsurprisingly, a key location in pre-Christian Irish legend. You half expect Cuchulainn himself to climb up out of the chasm to confront his great-grandfather, Balor of the Evil Eye.
Goes without saying that there is loads to do in the area (you need a car obviously, but lots of attractions within 30 min drive). There is so much to do in Donegal when the sun shines, and even when it doesn’t!
Ruth was attentive, a pleasure to deal with and directions were super-clear.
Two atmospheric, friendly, gaelgoir pubs within walking distance, though no shops really that we noted. Shops a few km away in Gortahork.
Only drawback is no wi-fi. Vodafone coverage works fairly well and you can link phone to your computer - we found using a USB cable does the trick best - if you have to WFH or just have life admin while away.
We had a great time and would be delighted to stay again.
Just a lovely spot overall and one of those little gems you find on Airbnb now and then. We had great weather when we were there, so that always helps!
