What our customers say about their holidays

  The Glen is a real holiday for any family.

  The property is secluded yet within easy reach of Carndonagh Town with every type of shop or service needed. The house itself, wow! We were blown away! The best quality appliances, full built in furniture throughout. Everything one would need is included in the package right down to the electric multi cooker. The rooms are all very spacious. 3 showers and a jacuzzi bath. The beds were very comfortable and had extra blankets and pillows. 7 beds in total, king-size, double and 3 single beds, one with a pullout mattress for an extra guest. The owner, Ryan, is obviously understanding of each individuals needs and has provided a luxury spacious, warm home to suit everyone and anyone. I had a severely learning disabled adult, two elderly and infirm parents and an adult with a serious medical condition. Everyone felt at home and everyone's needs were met. The ramp at the back door was a godsend. Ryan has maintained this home to the highest standard. He has an eye for detail and provides fixtures, fittings and accessories of very high quality. No expense spared. As a host, he was brilliant. Rowing up in the area, he is knowledgable and can guide you to the best places to visit, to dine at or to go for a lively morning walk. Responding immediately to any messages I sent, even on Christmas day. He is attentive and kind, taken care of every detail, honestly, this home definitely made Christmas break away one to remember; it was truly the best Christmas break our family has had for many years. I don't get many breaks away but I will be booking a break away to the Glen in 2025.

  Overall the property itself is in good condition and spacious.

  However, the listing states an enclosed garden, which there isn't - this was a big request from us for an enclosed garden for the dogs, and the fact that there were plenty of gaps in the perimeter slightly ruined the experience for us as we weren't able to relax with the dogs off lead. Further, there is a lot of debris at the end of the property where current listing photos show a garden and trampoline area - this photo is currently a misrepresentation of the situation. Finally, there are a lot of areas under development on the property land making most outside use of the property unpleasant. Within the property, it is clean and modern. But there is an odd mixture of kitchen wear and furniture for a property that could potentially house 6. I would recommend that the owner take a trip to IKEA and buy kitchen utensils that would support 6 people (e.g. 6 glasses, 6 wine glasses, a large pan, a coffee machine, a peeler, etc.) and also invest in a reasonable sized kitchen table for 5-6 people to sit around. The location of the property is ok, but it is a drive to a village, not a walk. The roads would not be safe to walk down past night. The main reason we opted for the property was an enclosed garden, which it did not have. so taking away that feature, there are other houses better located that you might want to consider.

  We had a wonderful week!

  The house is easy to find, very handy to Falcarragh and its wonderful beach. It's also in a very convenient location to explore the rest of the area. We have stayed in many houses across Ireland and this was the most enclosed we've ever had for our 2 dogs, all you need is a set of gates at the front and it would have been completely enclosed. Definitely a good place for dogs! Inside the house was lovely and warm and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and most things in great order. We were even left a litre of milk to get us going, which we really appreciated as we arrived late after work. The host sent us a wonderful information pack about the house, checked in on us by text and was very quick and helpful when there was a short power cut in the area. We would have a few suggestions to make it completely perfect but nothing impacted on our stay and we would definitely go back!! (Suggestions - a mirror in each of the bedrooms would be really helpful for female guests so we aren't all trying to use the bathroom mirror, in the kitchen a peeler, grater and a new frying pan would finish it off) Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

  Where to begin?

  ? From outside property and grounds look great. That's where it ends.. Outside at rear the garden is not enclosed, so not secure for dogs or children. No front gates leading onto a road so not safe or secure for dogs or children. Bigger issue is the amount of building materials and building rubbish to rear of property which is clearly a safety issue for dogs and small children. Bins full of mouldy food, soiled underwear and a vast amount of flies... Therefore outside space is pretty unusable if you're traveling with children or pets. Inside house is pretty well kitted out but cleaning left a lot to be desired. Previous occupants food remnants in air fryer, dirty, greasy, broken limited utensils in drawers, chopping board covered in mould, sand and dog hair on sofa in kitchen, no terrestrial channels on either TVs, 2 towels left for 2 people for a week.. the list goes on...better properties in the area for a lot less money. That's why this one is so available throughout the year! Would not stay again or recommend. Beautiful area, but this property and lack of customer support spoilt holiday unfortunately.
