Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Easy walking distance to Patsy Dan’s and Rusty Oven. We had some “typical weather” for our trip, but made the most of Donegal’s sights. Fanad Head, Pallet Sea Arch and Glenveagh were highlights. Highly recommended

Fabulous location, walking distance to beach, golf club and town shops and restaurants. Kitchen was poorly equipped for cooking (no oven trays etc). 1 shower in 3 didn’t work. Great layout and space

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 5, 2026
Thank you for leaving a review. I truly wish you had told me directly if there were any issues with the house. I live 5 minutes away! ‘The kitchen is poorly equipped’. Really? There are oven trays! And it would have been really good to know if a shower wasn’t working. I’ve just checked and the showers are all working! Thanks and kind regards. Trevor

We stayed as a family of 8 over three generations with our two small dogs and we could not have had a better time! The property was ideally located, it was on the most amazing beach with the whitest sand, the scenery was stunning. All amenities were super close, we could walk for morning coffees, lunch, shops, dinner it’s honestly one of the best places we have stayed for location. The house itself was super and had everything a family could need with loads of space and ideally stocked for a full week away, the two ground floor bedrooms were ideal for younger children and our elderly mother so the house was fully accessible. Trevor the host was incredibly helpful and got back to every query no matter how small very quickly. This was an ideal location for a family trip in one of the most beautiful places in ireland and catered to everyone’s needs from 2 - 68 years of age!

Beautiful, spacious property in a perfect location. Comfortably snug, a lovely sunroom for reading, living room for TV viewing, ample sized rooms and a light filled landing with views across the golf course. A quiet setting with a good sized garden and plenty of privacy. Lots of parking space in the driveway.

This house was a great base for our family trip to Donegal. The large travel cot & high chair came in very handy. It was cosy and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc. and there was plenty of room for us all to eat and sit together. The location was excellent, just a short walk to Killahoey beach or into Dunfanaghy. We all agreed it was a winner. Only complaint was it seemed like a few small repairs are needed - one of the windows and one of the showers.

Easter

The house is in an excellent location to amazing beaches and Dunfanaghy. It could have done with a few more kitchen stuff like a baking tray more than one dishwasher tablet and decent knives. The house is very spacious, comfortable and clean. The information from Trevor was very good and he was very responsive when we needed to clarify how to turn on the hot water during our stay. Thanks
