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.AAnonymous - 10Scored 10

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)

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.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom

- 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 102 reviewsHighly 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.
DaveIreland - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 40 reviewsThis 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.
PAULAUnited Kingdom - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 40 reviewsThis was the ideal place to stay the night before my round at St.Patricks Links. Coastal Heaven is right in the middle of town and close to everything. The bed was the most comfortable one I have slept in while in Ireland. Mairead and Joe were great hosts and looked after me when I left a few things behind in a rush to make my tee time. The directional instructions by video were great. Will stay here next time I’m in Downings.
WillemAustralia - 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 178 reviewsset on an beautiful little island this holiday let was perfect for a peaceful break to recharge the batteries. The house was clean and comfortable and is a short car journey to Downings Main Street where pubs and eateries can be found. The area has lots of things to do from beautiful sandy beaches to horse riding and an alpaca farm. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days here and will definitely come back again in the summer.
JanineUnited Kingdom - From € 384.69 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 119 reviewsThe 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.
