The girl that checked us in was so welcoming and helpful which was really nice because we hadn't been there before, I didn't get her name but she had glasses. The room was lovely and clean and we had a great nights sleep, such comfy beds. We dined in the bar that evening and the food was delicious too, I got the chicken supreme. Also in the morning we got a fantastic spread for breakfast well worth the price and the views were an added bonus. One other thing I noticed, staff brought the tea out just before we sat down wereas other hotels we've stayed at always bring it out way too early and it gets cold so this was the first place I've been to that the tea wasn't cold! 😂Top marks.

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.

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 apartment is located within easy walking distance of Buncrana town centre and local shops including a Lidl and an Aldi. Clodagh and her family went out of their way to make my family feel very welcome including adding her own personal touches to the apartment. The rooms and bathrooms were all very warm and comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We also enjoyed sitting out on her lovely balcony looking over Lough Swilly and the Inishowen Peninsula. We would have no hesitation booking again on our next return trip to Buncrana.
I stayed with my wife and two boys 5 and 7.upon arrival there was a welcome basket which was very kind and very much appreciated by us all was a lovely touch to welcome us. We all had a lovely time at the house, great location to everything in buncrana 5 min Walk into town center. House was perfect ,very clean and everything we needed was a like a home from home. The host was so kind and made sure we had everything sorted for us. Can't recommend enough definitely stay again
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
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.
