Trip with Friends

The view was amazing probably the best breakfast spot ever! The owner was the loveliest lady and gave us a warm welcome. We would definitely be back if in the area! Ps: the property was spotless!

The mattresses definitely reached the end of life. Really uncomfortable to sleep on.

Beautiful house in a stunning location. The house has everything you could need and is so cosy and comfortable. It's in a beautiful setting with stunning views and a short drive to shops and restaurants.

We honestly can't say we disliked anything

The view!

8.0

We liked the house very much. The conservatory has a fantastic view of the coast. The open-plan living room with fireplace, kitchen and dining area is very spacious and ideal for 5 people. Everything you need is available in the kitchen. The landlady is very friendly and was interested in our well-being. The location is ideal for secluded walks on the surrounding beaches, but also for excursions to the northern areas of Ireland. Particularly noteworthy is the Crolly Distillery and the many pubs, where there is live music on alternate days.

Family stay on Cruit Island

10.0

The house and setting was very charming in keeping with its surroundings, situated in a perfect location for us in all honesty. 100m to a small tidal beach and a few minutes drive to lots of other beaches. Lots of golf courses and fishing spots nearby and walking trails for exploring. Dungloe was a 10 minute drive for dinner and pubs etc. Kathleen and her family are lovely people and would highly recommend staying here to all.

A lovely stay in a gorgeous area.

9.0

Lovely bungalow with exceptional views of the surrounding area and beaches. Although we had really bad weather , the views from the sunroom were amazing, even when it was raining. Kitchen was well equipped although we didn't really cook much. Beds were very comfortable. Kathleen's grand daughter kindly helped us to try to get Netflix on the television.
