Plenty of room and well equiped. The room with the window overlooking the sea is probably one the best ways to spend an evening watching the surf and sunset!

Few minutes drive into Bundoran with a Bus route going past the house if you don't want to drive. I had two 3 older teenagers with me and the house being split into three floors gave them privacy they needed. Love the living area and the view of the sea from the 1st floor. The only negative thing I would say is the some of the bedrooms needs better blinds curtains especially one of the bedrooms on the ground.
