Reviews of Studio flat - An Bonnan Bui

Location is excellent and the apartment was neat and tidy.

Great location, spacious, comfortable and fabulous views.

Location at the beach. Spacious, cozy studio first floor apartment. Very comfortable double bed. Nice complete kitchen with microwave, air fryer, cook top and fridge. Compact bathroom with shower cabinet! Helpful and very nice landlord living on ground floor helped a lot!

Close to the local and beach ristorante caused some noise late evening.

An Bonnan Bui was an excellent cafe, and I had visited the museum, so I knew the building and location. If you are holidaying in Rathmullan it is a perfect spot as you are across the road from the pier and beach. Surprisingly quiet at night considering there is a pub on the opposite corner. I was in the first floor apartment where the Flight of the Earls museum used to be, and the main room is a good size. For a cooked breakfast or lunch you are only a few seconds walk from Belles Kitchen.

The kitchenette and shower / toilet section is small and cramped, which is a great pity as there is plenty of space to have a decent sized set of facilities. The quality of the workmanship and finish is rather poor, and evidently very cheaply done. Even though the building conversion cannot be much more than a year old it looks as though it is many many years old. There are multiple types of boards used for skirting, the skirting is cut short of the architrave, there is missing architrave etc. The poor quality cheap finish is a pity as otherwise it would be great.

Beautiful, converted 19th century (?) house with plenty of space, beautiful views, & a very well-equipped kitchenette and they went out of their way to have the place ready for an early check-in.

Bed was very comfortable.Good quality bed linen. The apartment was warm, which given the awful weather was very welcome.

The very small shower/ bathroom. The decor was very old fashioned for us and considering the price was at the higher end we expected something more luxurious.

Excellent location - close to bars and restaurants, overlooking the pier. Easy on street parking. Extremely comfortable bed

A bigger bathroom would have been ideal but the layout of the building precluded that. Not really a problem.

Bathroom small but fine. Location perfect Parking outside door Clean and comfortable Perfect for belles bakery which is unreal and the Beachcomer is lovely for good food and drink Small village so bring your own supplies with you ie bread or milk etc

Really nice flat lovely location would definitely cone back

None all good

Gorgeous cosy flat. Perfect for anyone looking for a base to explore that part of Donegal for a few days. Wish we could have stayed longer. Perfect distance to Rathmullan pier, beach, the pubs etc.

That we had to leave. We are 100% going to return and stay at An Bonnán Buí

Really lovely and spacious flat — perfect location in the beautiful Rathmullan just a stones throw from a gorgeous beach. Everything laid out perfectly for me; delighted with it.

It was perfect.

I simply cannot fault this flat. Everything about it was perfect. The stove was so lovely, kept the flat very cosy. The stained glass feature is just amazing. The bed and pillows were more than comfortable. The kitchen has everything a person needs. I think my favourite feature was the windows, and the beautiful tree outside. And the lace net curtains. The flat has such a cottage feel. I was very happy to sit crocheting beside the fire sitting on the adorable wooden chair. It's just so beautiful. I felt sad leaving, but I will definitely be back.

Excellent location. Very comfortable and clean. Stain glass feature is beautiful. I just loved the vibe of the place. Quaint, quirky and a great find for our stay.

Due to the age/style of property you could hear noise between flats. This was no big deal for us but may be for others.

Loved the Studio Apt. It was perfect ! 1-3 minute walk to Beach, The Flight of the Earls" memorial, Pier, "The Battery", McSweeny's Castle/The Abbey. Restaurants and Pubs 1-2 minutes walk. Loved listening to the singing and laughter. Nice little drive to the Great Pollet Sea Arch and Fanad Head Lighthouse.

Nothing. It was perfect !

Most comfortable bed ever. Great location. Genuinely lovely host. Cosy wee stove. Great selection of channels. Could throw a stone and hit the beach. Beware of construction on the pier this summer. Check out the wee antique shop. And the host was available the whole time and left me in stuff for the fire when it ran out.

Really noisy. I could hear next doors conversations clearly. Woke by the bar across the street putting out empty bottles at 1am and just general street noise. The windows are old and just don't keep out sound. If you're a light sleeper like me just bring ear plugs. There was a funny smell, I couldn't figure out until I was leaving and cleaning up, it was the fridge. But overall the place is cosy and comfortable for such a small kitchen you have enough to make a decent feed. And everything was spotless

When we arrived, Martin, the host, met us at the apartment with a big smile and showed us around, and explained everything we needed to know. he helped us with our bags as both of us have health issues, which was greatly appreciated. The apartment itself is ideal with a bit of old and new furniture, it has everything you need and central to everything, 1 minute to the 2 bars and takeaways, 5 minute walk to the beach and pier .1 stunning feature in the apartment is a large stained glass window of the flight of the earls, which is a very important part of irish history, which Rathmullan itself played a part in. I would highly recommend staying there as we will be back for sure Seán & Shauna
