The property was beautifully presented and had everything we needed. The views were out of this world. It was hard to stop looking at them. The property was less than 10 minutes walk from the Singing pub. The food, staff and outdoor play area made it a great spot for families.

    Downings had a great ice cream shop.

    Downings had a great ice cream shop. We loved shopping at McNutt's where we bought gorgeous wool items and linen napkins. The beach is accessible right in the middle of the village. You can drive onto the beach and park while you swim. The water was so clean and 16 degrees, which was warmer than the sea water off Dublin. The Galley is a great place for lunch. There are lovely little shops to check out.

    It’s a great location.

    It’s a great location. Eating out there are some lovely places nearby to eat. Pitch and put or football golf are good fun. Can get crowded in the summer holidays. But well worth a visit. The gallery is great for lunch, as is Downings hotel.

    there are beautiful beach walks in the area but it takes some driving to get to them. It is a major golfing destination so very good for that. We are not golfers. We had a good time there with good beach walks. It is a remote area. We would have no reason to return.

    The perfect base for exploring North Donegal, close enough to Glenveagh National Park, Fanad lighthouse (via Harry Blaney Bridge) and Inishowen Peninsula (via ferry from Rathmullan) Ards Forest Park (and Friary) only 20 mins away is well worth a visit, the coastal walk from Friary leads to the most spectacular secluded beaches There are two wonderful beaches, Tra Beag in the town and Tra Mor just outside. Plenty of places to eat with two hotels in the village, plus Fisks for Sea food, The Galley for Gourmet Burgers, Goose and Gander for Pizza, as well as the Singing Pub just outside the village (Steak on the Stone)

    The view from the house was beautiful. So peaceful. It’s a lovely walk into Downings but also a quick drive. No complaints whatsoever. Paddy popped in to say hello. The dogs absolutely loved it. Opened the door and they could be free and enjoy the sea at times also. Beautiful stay for a peaceful getaway with the family.

    Location was perfect- close to The Singing Pub and a short drive to Downings. The apartment is small but was grand for 4 people for a weekend. It is modern and very clean. The hosts were very helpful with great communication throughout our stay and an easy check in.
