  We were VERY pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Whitehorse House in Donegal.

  The location is absolutely stunning, and the house takes full advantage of this - the kitchen and seating areas have massive windows, which look out onto the rolling waves of the sea, two of the four bedrooms also have excellent sea views. However, the house itself would be what we would consider a 'destination' in itself - underfloor heating throughout, large and spacious rooms, an extremely well stocked kitchen (we like to cook, and most times we hire a house, we have to bring our supplies with us - none were needed this time, everything we wanted was provided, and more). Everything supplied was of a very high quality. Very comfortable beds, plenty of extra sheets and towels there if needed, Dyson hair dryers, washer and dryer in the boiler room, lots of very cosy armchairs, a library with loads of books, open fire (which we didn't need, as the heating was on 24/7), all four bedrooms are en-suite, and tons of hot water always available, all four bedrooms also have TVs too. Upstairs there is another massive room, with a huge TV at one end, a table tennis table, snooker table, games console and a desk looking out to sea. The house was spotless when we arrived, and Anne was there to greet us and show us around - very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble for her. She also came to see us off on our last day. We were a party of six adults (and two dogs), and we stayed for seven nights, but all of us were disappointed that we had not booked for longer. If you get a chance to to to Whitehorse House - do it!! You won't regret it.

  Loughanure Lakeview is set in the heart of the Rosses between the village of crolly and town of Dungloe with easy access to the some of most beautiful beaches on the wild Atlantic way.

  The views from the cottage across the lake are stunning. The local pub is located 100 yards from the house the welcome we received and the food was fantastic. The home was well equipped with everything we could have needed. It was spacious, extremely clean and very comfortable. The on-site park for children was fantastic and it was hard to encourage the children to leave the property. The WiFi was a great touch. Mary and Donal are lovely people, very warm and welcoming and couldn’t have done more to make us feel at home and comfortable. This cottage is great the location is fantastic we had the best week and will most definitely be back in the near future if not before the end of summer. I would highly recommend this cottage for families or groups looking to explore the wild Atlantic way.

  Was a wonderful setting, especially beautiful sunsets.

  We were 4 couples and felt completely at home and comfortable. There was plenty of extra space to spread out, or to find a quiet retreat. Beds were comfortable-no complaints from anyone! The house was neat, clean, well organized. And the views were mesmerizing. Would highly recommend this property to families or groups. Location was fine for us, as we had been to Ireland before and didn’t feel a need to see the typical sites. But it does sit a bit far from some touristy sites. We were exploring, finding national forest sites, walking areas, and views more than seeking castles. A boat trip to the Slieve League cliffs was a great one to book ( seasonal). So the location for us was fine. Yes, we all felt it was an ideal visit for us and would return when opportunity allows.

  We have just returned from a week at Loch An Iuir lake view cottage .

  The view of the lake from the house is beautiful and we were so lucky to avail of a week of great weather . The house is well placed for touring around the beautiful beaches of West Donegal and there are many fine restaurants within a 10 minute drive of the house . The house itself is very spacious and so well equipped with everything you’ll need to aid a relaxing stay . We travelled with our 2 dogs and they had ample outside space in which to burn off all the energy ! Our hosts , Donal and Mary both went out of their way to ensure that everything was ok for us . They were both very welcoming and friendly and gave us some useful hints in terms of restaurants within the local area . We are already looking forward to returning again . Many thanks , The O’Kane family .

  We had a really lovely stay here in October.

  The views are beautiful and the house is spotless throughout. All the bedrooms are well furnished with lots of storage and comfy beds (lots of beds!) and the en-suite bathrooms were great. Plenty of parking and the owners (who live next door) were so generous allowing the children to play on the play equipment and offering them use of the bikes or balls etc. Another great plus point is that we had control of our own central heating. So when we were home for the evening we could pop it on and it warmed up very quickly. Equally if staying in a bit longer in the morning we could boost it for an extra hour or two. All in all this is a beautiful, modern, clean house with all the facilities you need. We definitely hope to return soon.
