The stunning views of Tory Island were simply breathtaking. The accommodation itself was comfortable and well-equipped. We loved the close proximity to Gortahork and Falcarragh, which offered great shopping and lively pubs. The two local pubs were a particular highlight, where we enjoyed the warm atmosphere, traditional music, and the chance to hear Irish Gaelic being spoken. This cottage is a perfect base for exploring the beautiful county of Donegal."

Everything you need was in the property. It was clean and comfortable. A shame that the wood burned was out of order but the central heating worked very well. I have mobility issues, however, it was very easy to get around with my "walker" and the walk-in showers were excellent for my needs. Pub very close that serves excellent food with very friendly locals; although I couldn't get my wheelchair up the path leading back to the property, as it isn't a smooth road but we just drove down...not a big deal. We explored The Wild Atlantic way and on the days that we didn't want to venture out; just sitting looking out to that AMAZING view was enough; didn't need to go out. We went to nearby towns; took a taxi to Falcarragh one day to explore, very easy to book a taxi; we used Woods. Also took an overnight to Donegal town, which was jumping. Took a day trip to Downings where my grandfather came from, stunning. I honestly had to fight back tears when we were leaving. What a time we had. Little Buddy, the dog next door, just made it complete. Thanks SO much, we had an AWESOME time. Michelle and Chris
