    The hot water takes time to come and runs out quickly and for a large group the showers used up all the hot water but this was manageable

    The property was located in a very quiet and secluded location and very peaceful with amazing views to see the sunrise and sunset.

    Nothing it was great

    It was a nice and secluded location with beautiful views, was an easy drive to popular locations such as downings. If you’re looking for good food close by mickey Stephen’s bar has great food and excellent service !!

    Cannot fault anything.

    With a stunning location overlooking Glen Lough with Muckish and Errigal in the distance, this spacious property and grounds have a view for all seasons. A perfect rural location for those who wish to unplug and reset, yet minutes from amenities, beaches and entertainment. Info from host was immediate and comprehensive upon booking. The house itself was toasty warm, the kitchen well equipped and the living areas/furniture were quality and comfy. Our dog too loved walking on the quiet back roads and has made us promise to return.

    Towels are listed in the facilities but NOT provided. I only knew to bring them because of previous reviews . John did text me the day of arrival to tell me, but I was halfway to Donegal at that point . A suggestion would be to text people the day before to give them more notice to prepare, or make it clear on the facilities listing, they're kind of essential! The shower in one of the bathrooms was blocked. But we had a second one so that wasn't too inconvenient for our small group. Happy other than that, and I can recommend this rental for a great stay in Donegal !

    Fantastic Views over the lake and a peaceful location. Good size house with lots of beds. Smooth check in with a handy video sent to show us how to get to the house. Thanks John!

    Nothing, we loved everything.

    Exceptional views from the left side of the house, windows overlooking the lough in almost every room - bringing outdoors inside, feeling as one with the surrounding environment. So very peaceful! Comfortable and cosy home with main living area open plan, perfect for spending quality time together. We loved the log burner and the kitchen had everything supplied that we needed.

    Maybe mattress in master bedroom needs to be replaced in the near future. Oven and trays need more deep cleaning. Not much to dislike...

    Location and view is fantastic. House and rooms very spacious and safe. Heating system is very powerful and heats up the house in minutes. Great value for money! It's great house and location for mountain lovers, very quiet around. Great and easy communication with host !

    The road leading to the property was a little bumpy so just be aware to drive slow and watch for any dips or holes. It's pretty rural though so nothing out of the ordinary for Donegal!

    Location was excellent and host John was very friendly and helpful. The house was very clean and comfortable and it was an excellent base to explore Glen and the surrounding areas.

    The water strength in the showers were quite weak. My husband found the bed uncomfortable - suppose depends what type of mattress your used to.

    Beautiful location, very remote and picturesque. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. House was gorgeous, lovely layout and decor. The wood burner was great and made it extra cosy. Access to netflix was a bonus, especially for the kids in the evening when needed. Thank you. Everything we needed was available when we arrived for our youngest son- travel cot, highchair and a few toys. This was very helpful.

    The road up to the house is tricky for about one km the car is dodging pot holes ( just a very small country road)

    Notice about the need to bring/supply our own towels & toiletries could be better reiterated. The use of the bins beside the kitchen could be noted more clearly. Maybe put a sticker note on each bin to identify “plastics/bottles/cans” or rubbish etc.

    Remoteness, spaciousness, and scenic view made this stay exceptional! Using the EireCode made it easy to find despite remoteness.
