    It can get a bit noisy when all the rooms are occupied.

    The view is really magnificent. The hosts have added little touches here and there to make the stay more than "just okay". The shared bathroom was kept well cleaned. The breakfast was a lovely surprise.

    Unfortunately we could only stay for one night!

    Adrian and Brigitte were extremely helpful and welcoming, chatty, and prepared a healthy and varied breakfast. It was wonderful to have use of the kitchen at dinner time too. The house is in such a beautiful location, the views across the bay are stunning and the local beach was perfect for a morning dip. The beds were warm and comfortable and the room decor was excellent.

    Nothing to complain about at all

    Beautiful location close to lots of other beautiful places. I arrived in the dark and woke up to a gorgeous view of the water and mountains. Super clean with a relaxed welcoming cosy atmosphere. Staff were lovely and extra helpful with recommendations for the area.

    The very friendly host, as soon as she saw my two sons, both 2 meters tall, immediately changed the room where the children were supposed to stay for a more comfortable one, better suited for our “giants” (at no extra charge). The house is beautifully and tastefully furnished with everything you need. The views from the living room are stunning. We received plenty of great tips for the rest of our trip around the Donegal region.

    Everything was perfect - clean, comfortable, arty & wonderfully organised. And the views were just stunning with magnificent picture windows & well placed seats to relax in & soak up the views. Beds so comfortable too. And breakfast definitely worth waiting for - we had considered leaving early but glad we didn’t 😊 Thank you to the hosts for providing a great experience.

    This is a lovely, comfortable house in a fabulous location. The house itself is really well kitted out with all the amenities you need with some lovely creative touches. The view from the living room is spectacular. We stayed with a group of nine adults and the living room views provided a beautiful backdrop for relaxing and mealtimes. The owners were very welcoming and helpful, and communication was very easy with swift responses at all times. The town was very close and had lovely shops with high-quality Donegal crafts. We enjoyed a really good session in one of the pubs one evening. We also really loved the Ardara area and it was a great base for exploring Donegal. We enjoyed listening to Irish being spoken in the Gaeltacht areas and especially enjoyed our visits to Sliabh Liag and the Maghera caves. We were also close enough to enjoy Glenveagh National Park and a hike up Errigal. We finished our stay with a visit to the local distillery where we bought some lovely locally produced whiskey. Ten out of ten for the Lookout and Ardara.
