    We actually stayed in the Foyleview cabin rather than the rustic log cabin but I cannot review it because my original booking was for the rustic cabin. We had such a wonderful stay. The cabin is so cosy, we had all the cooking utensils you could want, the bed is very comfortable, WiFi was great, The view is amazing. The hot tub is fantastic, you just walk around the back of the house to access it, really not an issue. I’ve seen some ridiculous complaints on here about how far away it is! The BBQ and the outdoor kitchen facilities are also amazing. Sheelagh and Michael are perfect hosts. Always smiling always available and nothing is a bother to them, genuinely lovely people. We were there 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

    There were a few areas of the cabin that were a bit run down for the price we paid!

    The location was fabulous! Incredible views and a short drive into the local village.

    It’s a nice, self-catering cabin, with all the required amenities and with an incredible view! Before arriving, I came across some of the really negative, recent reviews, and they are completely unfair. So don’t let them put you off, as the place looks exactly as it does in the photos. Although, it should be clearly stated in the description that the living room/kitchen and bedroom areas are accessed separately by outside doors. Overall, the hut is as described, ‘rustic.’ It was nice, it was clean, had the required amenities, and the view was spectacular! But to me it needs some TLC, a bit more effort. For example, the outside of the hut could be cleaned up a bit in my opinion because it was covered in cobwebs. All that being said, it is described as rustic, and we had a lovely stay, and adored the terrace and outdoor seating area!

    Beautiful place with beautiful views . For a family with kids amazing you have everything what you need for a great vacation. Friendly owner and helpful with explaining about everything. For a family with two kids was amazing. If someone complains about then they should be never unhappy people which always complains. But is a beautiful place with everything you can expect and you need in a rustic cabin . Many thanks to the owner!

    Nothing. I did my research and I knew what to expect. If a power shower is important to you then don’t book but I can’t fault this log cabin. It has everything you need for a self catering holiday

    The view is breathtaking and the location is very peaceful. You can sit and watch the boats cross the stretch of water all day, weather permitting. The cabin has everything you need to make meals. Oven, kettle and toaster. Loads of room in front of the property for children to play games and for the dog to run around. Is a rustic log cabin so I didn’t expect much from the shower as other reviews have mentioned but it’s enough to have a wash which is all you need. It’s a lovely little place to explore Donegal and great value for money. I do prefer a self catering holiday as you eat out if you want but also have the option to make a meal in. Well done to the owners, I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely come back

    I missed the note that we needed our own towels but we made due and Michael and Sheilgh were gracious enough to help us out.

    The view and tranquility make it a good place to rest when trying to fit in many attractions of Northern Ireland. The ferry from Magilligan Point is efficient and quick to get to from cabin. The deck is a lovey place for morning coffee in the sun.
