    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.

    Very friendly host couple. They got us an extra blanket, because we are not used to share one and sleeping in a double bed. And we had the option to help ourselves to tea or coffee in the morning even without any booked breakfast. 4 lovable cats as a bonus. Perfect basis to explore Inishowen. Not far from Buncrana itself. It‘s a small house and you are practically staying in their living space, but Tara and Catalina very much respect your privacy. Good infos about food and the peninsula. Very good price!

    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 😊

    We are a family of 7 and were in Bucrana at the end of June to explore the surrounding delights and stayed in the 5 star WAW Seaview apt. The apartment is brilliant and has everything you need to make your stay wonderful. It is very clean and the facilities are topnotch. Clodagh who is the host is brilliant and gave us wonderful tips on how to explore the sites around Bucrana. We'll be back.

    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.

    Although it was to be a room only, our provider fed us both mornings we were there. We were also treated to a lovely St. Pat's Day with our providers as we spent the day celebrating with them. Tara guided us all around Buncrana.
