    I had a great stay at this old house! The host was very attentive and quick to respond to all my messages. The location is excellent with beautiful views. The house is spacious, comfortable, and offers great value for the price. Would definitely recommend!

    You should follow Google direction as instructions about how to get can be a bit confusing. Bring anti-mosquito spays with you as in the evening there is a swarm of midges outside even when the firewood burning. The bush closes nice view out to the mountain. But in overall we enjoyed the place.

    A perfect property for the group of people. Close enough from the beach for good price with all necessary for barbecue and evenings outside to spot night sky.

    Thank you to the owners for the house. It was very pleasant and important to move into warm accommodation. The beds are comfortable and perfectly clean, lying down was a pleasure. I felt like a princess. Everything I needed was in the house. The house has a cosy and kind atmosphere. Many thanks to the hosts for their patience, we left the house a little later than the specified time. very good hosts, thank them very much.

    Location of house. For anyone else staying the house is you about 7/8 minutes from falcarragh. you would not be walking to falcarragh.

    The views were fabulous. It was nice and quiet. Falcarragh is a lovely town with one of the most fabulous beaches and people.

    The Bungalow is very far from the main street so transport is required. Taxi numbers were provided by the host and it cost €15 each way to get into town.... The house is very dated but it has everything you need...

    I have previously stayed at Shalom before, it is a cosy donegal cottage, love the old style setting. The house is spotless and has everything you need. The garden is beautiful with amazing Mountain View’s and a great bbq hut at the side of the garden facing the mountains. It is a peaceful location. The host was excellent at communicating all the necessary information clearly. She was very responsive and making communication very easy.

    When entering the bungalow there was a musty stale smell. The bathroom had a small pile of dirt that hadn't been lifted after sweeping. The bedroom with the single bed smelt really bad. The back bedroom had hairs in the bed, a crisp and cotton bud on the floor. We were unable to work the heating. Due to all of this we decided not to stay and left at 11pm to drive home.

    The location was ideal

    Place wasn’t cleaned at all, bathroom was dirty, fire place was over filled with ashes so had to clean ourselves, not even vacuumed, tried to find the best room to sleep but both double beds were squeaky and not comfy at all, place really need a deep cleaning , is very old and the amount of plug in air fresheners left around made the house smell worse and didn’t cover the stale smell

    The bed sheets were clean and house was warm, good correspondence with host

    The main purpose of the property was its amazing location and views, close to the event venue. The house is clean and welcoming. The owners are very friendly and helpful, with brilliant communication and support. Every essential item in the house functions flawlessly. The house is stunning and secure, perfect for peaceful vacations.

    There were stains on the carpet, we found a container that looked like dried blood and Cathy informed us that builders would be doing construction behind the bungalow the night we checked in - she will say that she communicated clearly 2 days beforehand but she only mentioned to park to the side as there was work going on - not that the builders would actually be there from 8am to 5pm everyday over Easter weekend!!! The place felt so creepy that we left after only a few hours and checked into a B&B for the rest of our time in Donegal. Cathy was passive aggressive in her text messages and very unreasonable. We received no refund even though the above was all mentioned and we let her know that we didn’t stay in the bungalow on the morning of the second day of the booking. If I could rate this place 0 then I would.

    On short notice I decided to stay again on my way back home from visiting friends and Cathy was very accommodating. The house is great value for money and the location of the house is brilliant as it is only a 6 minute drive from Falcarragh Main Street and then the beach is a 5 min drive from Falcarragh, the beach is beautiful with lovely views.

    The house wasn’t very clean on arrival. Stains on the carpet, hairs in the shower and no duvet cover on one of the beds. The location of the house is not as advertised either, luckily we had a car as if we had gotten the bus and been dropped off in the town it was a 45 minute walk. Also have been accused of leaving the house in a bad state because we left some rubbish there, in every other place I have stayed somebody collects your rubbish at the end.
