The hotel is situated in one of the most scenic parts of the northern coast of Ireland, and would be my unreserved recommendation for anyone in search of gorgeous sea views. The rooms are spacious and well appointed, airy and light. The bathrooms are modern and have a walk-in shower, and everything is sparkling clean. The food in both the bar and restaurant was good, the spa also offered everything you could ask for. And all in all a very pleasant stay.

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)

From even before we arrived, Mairead had sent us a video explaining how to get to the location of Coastal Heaven. We were met by a lovely bubbly lady who couldn't have done much more for us during our first stay in Downings. She gladly told us what to see and do around the place and was more than willing to answer any questions and made sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. This place has an outdoor shower, which is definitely an experience on its own and what a class one it was. Many Thanks Mairead and we hope to be back soon.

A beautiful, clean,well equipped house that made our holiday perfect. In a quiet rural part of Downings but just 5 minute drive from stunning beaches, shop, restaurant and bars. The host answered questions before I went very promptly. And left us the most appreciated welcome pack off all necessities needed to make our holiday home from home.
