An Irish Idyll - traditional stonewall cottage nestled in hills above Downings

An Irish Idyll - traditional stonewall cottage nestled in hills above Downings

10/10 Excellent
"My oh my. This wee cottage was better than I had hoped for. Simple in standing but plentiful in charm, the owner has done a wonderful job in not overcomplicating the property. It had everything we needed for our short break - but it is the spectacular setting with utterly incredible views that really sets this property apart. The heavy clouds in the ever changing sky, the absolute silence and the cool breeze - when it feels like the rest of Europe is burning - all lent themselves to a reset. It was breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing your cottage William. We loved it."

8/10 Good
"Great hotel. In center of town. Breakfast delicious. Enjoyed our 2 night stay; but as our room, 32, was directly above a loading bay, the noise early each morning was V loud, to be honest. We also had no seaview, which was on our booking. We will use this hotel again. Just not room 32 ..."

Lakeside Farmhouse (5 mins from beaches) with private walks and gardens

Lakeside Farmhouse (5 mins from beaches) with private walks and gardens

10/10 Excellent
"This is a little gem nestled right beside a lough, with a view of hills and nature all right on your doorstep. This is a lovely quirky house, filled with charm and a real sense of home. 4 Great-sized bedrooms, 3 x very comfortable double beds, and the 4th room with 2 sets of bunk beds. Perfect for an extended family or a share house. A lovely open fire in the sitting room and another room just for chilling. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal, and a separate dining room to eat in. Gardens all around the property and little paths that take you on adventures. Take the road just up past the house and in 5 minutes you will be at a beautiful beach. 15 minutes, over Harry Blaney Bridge, and you're in Downings. Great places to eat nearby are Fisk in Downings, In Carrigart, the Hotel has great food as does Narrow Quarter Bistro. Fanad Lighthouse is a must. There is so much beautiful scenery to see. Highly recommended; I would love to return. thank you."
