Lovely big property, beautiful views over the lough, 2 minute drive to a lovely beach, and near to pubs / restaurants. Lots of space for the family to spread out in the property and I can imagine in summer it will be stunning having a BBQ in the outside patio area. Heating also worked well.

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.

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 😊
The house was based just outside Buncrana, with plenty of restaurant options & takeaways amd a beach just down the road. There was plenty of room in the house for us, 5 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen and living space is very spacious and the outdoor area is very safe for kids. The host was very quick to reply to any messages in the lead up and during our stay. We would definitely return
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.
Warm welcome from Jason and his lovely black Labrador Peppa.
Very comfy bed. Lovely view of the sea fromthe bedroom.
Quiet location, and very convenient to Buncrana town, Beaches and facilities.and the heating being turned on for a short period in the evening was a nice touch, even though it was a nice evening in general.
Lovely little B&B run by a super friendly family, who made sure that all our needs were met and exceeded. They also gave tons of good advice, for what to see and do and where to eat in Donegal, as well as what roads to take. The rooms were really comfortable and homey and I will definitely stay here again.
The Location was perfect for Buncrana, Derry, Donegal town Malin Head and Wild Ireland. Highly recommended the red door restaurant. The apartment was great. Everything we needed host was wonderful. Really nice lady. Highly recommended staying here. Right accross from the beach.
The property was spacious and equipped with what we needed for our stay. We were visiting the area to attend a family wedding, easy to check in.
May benefit from some soft furnishings to help acoustics in the lounge and kitchen.
Central with a good car park across from it..great walks and big park if you have kids .good beach is 5 mins away and town also just 5 mins walk.. breakfast was very tasty best I've eaten in a long time and spotless in my room...
Fantastic Accommodation. Stayed for a family wedding. It is better than any hotel. Beautiful decor , clean, warm.
The owner Brian is extremely friendly and helpful. Will visit again.
Our second visit and looking forward to returning soon. Breakfast and dinner superb. Lovely relaxing place for such a busy hotel. Very family friendly.
