    Everything was just great! The accomodation has everything you need and is very cozy - you just feel like home. The hosts are very nice, they even had some little treats for us, when we arrived. The view is outstanding and the whole area offers much to discover.

    A really cosy and quite luxurious cabin with stunning views and a beautiful sunset. We were only there for one night unfortunately but I would love to spend a couple of nights there. The views are amazing and it is so peaceful and quiet. The cabin is very cosy and there were scones and biscuits waiting for us on arrival which was lovely. The host popped in to say hello which was nice. We really enjoyed the stay.

    Everything was excellent.

    This is a hidden gem in west Donegal. The lodge is a beautiful place to stay with views over the Atlantic and Tory Island. It sums up what peace and tranquillity means . The lodge is of the highest standard , so comfortable with everything you need . We were greeted by the host and on arrival there was wine , crisps , brown bread , butter and milk . This always makes day one of arrival easier ! Host was always available if we had any questions. I highly recommend the Ocean Lodge .

    Only issue was we only realised on arrival how close owner of the lodge House was to the Lodge. Ideal of privacy and isolation not what we first expected.

    Location was amazing. Unreal views of the coast. Local area had everything you need for short stay restaurant, pubs and shops. Lodge was up to a great standard.

    Our only issues were that there was too much furniture. We would take some out especially from the bedroom. Also while the cooking facilities were great, we would have liked to have had a small microwave.

    A very simple little cabin. Very new, very clean. Had just about everything. In a really good location if you like wild rural/coastal scenery.

    That I had to leave it

    The property was perfect. It was warm, cosy, with a lot of amenities. It was spotless and the view was excellent. The hosts were attentive. The location is perfect-a few minutes drive from two well stocked shops. There are a number of beaches a short drive away.

    The Ocean lodge is set in a wonderful part of Donegal, with stunning coastal views. It was warm and cosy, nicely furnished, well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. There was a lovely welcome basket of scones, jam and butter along with some complementary wine. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and when we mentioned we were unsure where to eat that evening, they recommended a lovely bar/restaurant and even booked it in their name for us. Thank you! We look forward to returning in the future.

    The cabin was absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated to perfection. The location was perfect, peaceful with both ocean and mountain views. The cabin was easily found and accessible and had everything needed for a lovely night away. Perfect spot for beautitul walks and close enough to walk for dinner/drinks nearby. The cabin was fully equipped with new kitchen and all mod cons anyone could need. Couldn't recommend a stay highly enough. Will definitely be back and recommend anyone for a lovely weekend or trip away to visit!!
