    there are beautiful beach walks in the area but it takes some driving to get to them. It is a major golfing destination so very good for that. We are not golfers. We had a good time there with good beach walks. It is a remote area. We would have no reason to return.

    The perfect base for exploring North Donegal, close enough to Glenveagh National Park, Fanad lighthouse (via Harry Blaney Bridge) and Inishowen Peninsula (via ferry from Rathmullan) Ards Forest Park (and Friary) only 20 mins away is well worth a visit, the coastal walk from Friary leads to the most spectacular secluded beaches There are two wonderful beaches, Tra Beag in the town and Tra Mor just outside. Plenty of places to eat with two hotels in the village, plus Fisks for Sea food, The Galley for Gourmet Burgers, Goose and Gander for Pizza, as well as the Singing Pub just outside the village (Steak on the Stone)

Goose & Gander for cocktails and pizza Fisk for outstanding seafood The Old Glen Restaurant for a la carte The Harbour Bar for a pint Several other restaurants/cafes but did not try as had excellent kitchen in the Cottage.

    The beaches were beautiful, you could go for lovely long walks, and with 2 dogs with us, this was great. Ards Forest Park was lovely and worth many visits. We ate in the Singing Pub a number of times, food was excellent. Takeaways from the Goose and Gander very good. Golf at Rosapenna Golf Courses challenging and enjoyable. Altogether a great week in Downing’s. We will be back, hopefully.

    We had a lovely time in Downings except for the weather but as we are from Belfast we are used to it. It is a very scenic place very down with nature which is a lovely change. There are very few shops most of the town seems to be closed which is a pity. Having transport is a must, you can travel around, we weren't able to see things due to the weather but there is nothing you can do about that.

    The apartment itself was perfect for a family of four with two teenage boys. Big space to relax on sofas, great TV, well-equipped kitchen, well-appointed and modern throughout. Clean and tidy on arrival and a nice touch was a bottle of Prosecco on the table with four glasses. Great location, a couple of minutes straight into the village itself. Close to the two hotels and the beach. In the summer the outdoor sofa area at the front would be a great place to sit out and enjoy the weather. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

    Highly recommend this guesthouse. Phenomenal staff who could not do enough for us. The room was brand new in quality, recently refurbished and extraordinarily clean. The shebeen/bar was incredible and the pizza from the restaurant was the best we've all ever had. The Downings is a beautiful place, but made all the more beautiful by staying in such a friendly and welcoming spot, we'll definitely be back. Family ran establishment with a great attention to detail. No request was too much and breakfast was perfect.

    This little apartment is situated in the centre of Downings directly beside all amenities and bars and restaurants. The apartment had everything we needed and an extremely comfy bed to boot. The host had provided some butter, dilute, biscuits coffee even some cereals. Couldnt have asked for better. At first, we were dubious about the outdoor shower but worked pretty well it was dry on our stay so no worry about rain, and not to mention the water was really hot which I love.

    Cottages have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed in a round tower which had amazing views out over Downings Bay..cottages are convenient to shops, bars, restaurants and beautiful beaches. Seamus is a brilliant host who went out of his way to make us feel welcome, even arriving with wine, beer and chocolates to celebrate New Year's Eve. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

    This property was a perfect location if you want a getaway in Downings. Right beside the restaurants and bars and beach. The accommodation itself was bright, cozy and very clean. It was fully equipped with a kettle fridge etc which came in so handy before setting off for the day. The shower outside was lovely, very clean with lovely hot water. We will definitely be back for another stay.

    A beautiful, clean,well equipped house that made our holiday perfect. In a quiet rural part of Downings but just 5 minute drive from stunning beaches, shop, restaurant and bars. The host answered questions before I went very promptly. And left us the most appreciated welcome pack off all necessities needed to make our holiday home from home.

    The house exceeded expectations. The location was great and so central for touring Donegal. There were lots of lovely restaurants just a 15 minute walk away in Downings. The host left all the basics; tea, coffee, milk, bread, oil etc. which was really helpful. We were in cottage 1 with the most amazing view! We didnt want to leave.
