Relaxing time

We enjoyed our stay. The furnishing of the Holiday Home was good. The heating should start earlier at 6 PM and last until 9 PM. Even so we liked it there, we found it too expensive.Nevertheless we can recommend the place.

Peaceful Donegal

Had wonderful few days in authentic irish cottage. Located near nice beaches for walks, glenveigh national park and fanad lighthouse all easily close by. The small town of carrigart and rosepenna made getting lunch or dinner easy as well. The cottage though was well stocked to never leave during your stay if that is your wish also. If your interested in the history of donegal and the area set aside some time to talk to the hosts they know the history well! Highly recommend and would book again.

Gemütliches Häuschen in traumhafter Natur!

Wir haben unseren Urlaub in Fanad sehr genossen. Das Haus ist sauber, hübsch und mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt. Gelegen in der wildromantischen Natur im Norden Irlands, sah man rundherum nichts außer sattgrüner Weiden, Hügel und ein paar Schafe und Kühe. Es war der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Irland hat dort soviel zu bieten. Traumhafte Strände, wilde Klippen und unberührte Natur. Unsere Gastgeberin Margaret war so aufmerksam, liebenswürdig und hilfsbereit. Wir wurden mit frischem Gemüse und leckeren Scones begrüßt und selbst für unsere Tochter wurden auf die Schnelle noch ein paar Spiele und Bücher organisiert. Wir können unsere nächste Reise an diesen Ort kaum erwarten und werden dann sehr gern wieder Gast bei Margaret und Michael sein!
