Something Fishy does the best takeaway fresh fish and chips for miles.

Big enough for the whole family
This was a beautiful house with a lot of space. On a private lane overlooking a bay. Extremely clean and the beds we used in the 2 en-suite rooms were comfy. Loved having morning coffee looking out at the bay. The gas stove was a pleasure to cook on. I did struggle a bit with how to determine the amount needed to top up the electric. But the owners helped with that. Being from the US it isn’t something I was familiar with. There’s a nice little Spar nearby for gas and food. Had a wonderful stay.

Family togetherness
Our 2nd visit. Wonderful space for multi generational family. Quiet location but loads of drives to incredible beaches. Will be back when we can get a bookings slot.

Great Location And Beautiful Views in Co. Donegal
This house was in excellent condition, the kitchen was well stocked, and the house provided space for the five of us to be together as a group but also have room to be alone when wanting some personal space. Whether working as a group preparing a meal, sitting outside with the fresh air and a fantastic view of the water, or heading to our destinations - the national park, Tory Island, Dunfanaghy, etc. We could not have asked for better accommodations or location.

Great place! Wish we stayed longer.
Great place to stay, Francis and her son did a great job helping us with directions when we got a bit stuck. We really should have stayed longer. Well situated for exploring, and the local bar was really welcoming and we were able to enjoy a trad music group and some friendly patrons.
