I highly recommend Brian’s house in Ranafast as it is a spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean place to stay in a very scenic part of rural Donegal, a couple of kilometres from the nearest village (Annagry). With COVID-19 we were a bit concerned about self catering but needn’t have worried as the house was extremely clean and we felt safe there from the moment we arrived. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor and three bedrooms, two of which are en suite, plus a separate bathroom on the first floor, which provided plenty of space and separation for all 9 guests. A wood burning stove in the living room/kitchen and very effective central heating system throughout the house provided a warm and cosy atmosphere when needed. It was only a few minutes drive to Carrickfinn blue flag beach and to Boat Strand, both spectacular and great for for swimming and walking. The restaurant in Caislean Oir hotel in nearby Annagry is excellent with a great menu and we found several other great restaurants with 10 minutes drive. On Brian’s recommendation we went on a short 10 minute ferry crossing to Gola Island from Bunbeg pier and thoroughly enjoyed our time there, walking on paths and quiet lanes to the cliffs and many isolated beaches. Glenveagh National Park was another great day out within a half hours drive from the house and we also made a longer trip to the stunning Sliabh Liag cliffs which was another highlight of our holiday. It’s worth noting the WiFi in the house was hit and miss at times which resulted in a few groans especially from the teenagers in our group but it wasn’t a major issue given the amount of time spent out and about in this most beautiful part of Ireland. We highly recommend Brian’s house in Ranafast and would definitely return. Thanks very much Brian.
