Amazing accomodation with stunning views. Massive bedroom, huge bed, fantastic view. Great heating. Nice and warm room. Big bathroom with bath. This accommodation uses the best toiletries I ever see in any hotel before. I bought a shampoo from that brand straight from them. Fantastic restaurant just 15 mins walk The Railway Tavern. I guarantee you, that you never had steak like that before. Book a table a few days before you go. It's very popular. Beautiful beach just down the hill. Amazing for morning walk. Very kind owners. Coffee machine with great coffe in the room.

A key was available in a lockbox for a smooth check-in. Our room was located at a separate entrance to the rest of the guesthouse. The room came stocked with food and drink, some of which was kept in the room's mini fridge. The bed was comfy, ensuite bathroom was immaculate. Our host was very welcoming.

The location was brilliant - It felt very private. The beach is a 2 minute walk from the front door. You can walk into town via a seaside path in 30 mins. There is an open fire, & conservatory with a sea view, which is lovely. The property had all the stuff you needed. Great wifi.

The location was perfect. We weren't on the beach but it was minutes away. It was easy to access the town of Buncrana which we know well Breakfast was excellent and offered a very wide choice at the buffet as well as a cooked breakfast which was delicious.
