    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.

    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 😊

    Room 226 was a really good size, over looking the bay and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was cooked to order, great quality. On site restaurant and bar had a brilliant atmosphere with live music on Saturday nights and the food was 1st class. Staff are all really lovely and willing to help. Beautiful beach just across the road and garage next door to pick up any essentials. One of the best hotels I have stayed in.

    Good location for exploring Inishowen - went to Doagh Famine Village and Malin Head. Was also very central in Buncrana - nice walks by sea and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Door code very handy. Apartment clean and comfortable with lots of space. Host easily contactable and very helpful - lots of good tips for places to visit and restaurants to try.

    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.

    The actual facilities were exceptionally good and the views over Lough Swilly and the hills around Buncrana were amazing. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They served a wide ranging breakfast that was hearty and generous. The bedrooms are very large and more than adequate for the average family.
