    The hotel is a bit out of the town centre, but perfectly fine for car drivers - once you get used to the multi level one way system! Buncrana is well placed for touring North Donegal County and visiting Derry/Londonderry City nearby in N. Ireland, to where there are no travel or border restrictions. Thought the local ferries were a bit expensive for cars. The local attraction "Wild Ireland" situated near Burnfoot was well worth a visit. And a visit to Ireland's most northerly point, Malin Head, is a "must do" too. Be advised that the famous Slieve League Cliffs are over 100km from Buncrana.

    Family break: 2 adults & 2 children. Loads to do, loads of activities and loads to see. The kids preferred Donegal to our week in Spain earlier this yr. The area is beautiful with lovely beaches nearby and loads of things to visit. We will definitely be back soon.

    The house was ideal for a large family group.

    The house was ideal for a large family group. There were plenty of baths and showers in the house. The house has a great view. Apart form a few very minor things we were very satisfied. There is beautiful countryside, excellent beaches, and places of historical interest within easy reach of Buncrana.

    A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit.

    A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit. We didn't visit the museum but did some of the walks which were spectacular. We also ate in the little cafe on site which was very good indeed. Coffee in particular! Buncrana town is lovely, plenty of shops, bars and cafes. Its a one way drive system. We ate at Tank and Skinnys - just coffee and cake, but the food going to other tables looked delicious - we'll definitely be back.

    Apartment is in a great location, minutes from the beach and town centre. We would especially recommend Tank and Skinnys by the pier for breakfast and lunch and the Sherpa restaurant on Main street for dinner, both of which were only minutes walk from the apartment. Check in was easy with the owner messaging me the code for the key box. Very clean property. Large with 2 wc's and.spacious enough for our group.of 4. Comfortable beds and pillows. We really enjoyed our break in Buncrana and would book this apartment again.

    The house was in a great location and was literally just 5 minutes away from the centre were there was plenty of bars and restaurants. Then just another 5 minute walk took you too Buncrana Beach which was stunning. Cosy McCarrons was clean and very comfortable. There was plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids. It was nice and modern and the host thought of everything leaving us a beautiful welcome basket and all other essentials. Brillant place for a trip away 😊

    This is one of the best place to stay either for getaway or vacations with nearby beach & town. Justin is very helpful from booking until check out, very responsive to all messages. The interior of the house is excellent, modern and very clean and the best part is the hot tub with nice view & can be used on any weather as it is indoor with fire and seating area to accomodate large no of ppl. I give this place 5 stars and definitely will return in future

    Clean, well appointed apartment comfortably shared by family of 5. Attentive host and hostess available throughout and quite helpful. Washing facilities and updated kitchen a plus. Hot food/Irish breakfast and eat in dining at nearby circle K also an option. Central location on bus route, within walking distance of Main Street, grocery stores and beach.

    Staff throughout the hotel and restaurant were friendly and helpful. Our room was huge, which was a lucky break for us. Everything was clean and tidy. Looking over the golf course while dining was especially nice. Plentiful free parking. The hotel was a perfect location for taking the first Swilly Ferry to Rathmullen the next morning.
