There was plenty of space for 4 of us with a main and an ensuite bathroom. Oven was a bit tricky to figure out but there are instructions left in the kitchen that explain all the facilities. Anyone looking for place right in the center of this amazing beach town to explore the nearby counties Donegal, Leitrim or Sligo won't find anything better suited. This was our 9th time renting a holiday home in Ireland so while the location is great there are few things I should mention. The place is literally right next to the Adventure Park so if you're looking for a quite place to relax after a long day of exploring this won't be it. We had loud music banging and screaming every night until 10pm or longer. Speeding cars up and down the strand road until late into the night was also common. It's also part of a larger apartment building so there are many other residents who kept us awake a couple of nights. While parking at the entrance is free we had a really hard time finding a spot a few times since they are being used by all the other residents as well as staff from the nearby pubs and restaurants since the rest of the town requires payment for parking. Even though there are several signs that this is for residents only and clamping is in operation, that was not the case. Also had my car damaged in a hit and run in the parking lot over night. We had to keep the curtains for the bedrooms closed as well since anyone walking past the ground level window can see straight in (and like I said there are many residents, some of which I believe live there). There is also no Wi-Fi available which was a little bit disappointing given the central location. So overall the place was ok, not great and definitely not a top pick compared to our previous holidays. However, if you're looking for a place to enjoy the nightlife, pubs, restaurants and adventure parks and aren't bothered by noise too much than this is definitely a great choice. Anyone looking for a quiet holiday to relax should probably look around somewhere else.

The living/dining/kitchen area was lovely and had fantastic views across Bundoran bay towards Slieve League. We watched a number of lovely sunsets! The separate bathroom was a good size, but we felt it could have had a shower attached to the bath. The en-suite attached to the twin room was quite small. The towels supplied in this room were quite small, compared to those in the double room. We were three adults sharing! The furniture in both bedrooms, especially in the double, could do with replacing. In the double room, the chests of drawers and bedside tables did not open well because of an attached self-adhesive covers and there was no wardrobe, just a hang rail. However, we would stay there again and would also recommend the Italian restaurant at the end of the apartment block.

Fully equipped kitchen and lounge with gorgeous views of the beach and sea. Ideal location, 5 mins walk from the beach, funfair and waterworld. Only 5 mins walk up in the other direction to pubs and shops. There is a great pizzeria just underneath the apartment, round the corner on the beach side.
