Warmly welcomed by Breid. The house is really comfy and homely, the kitchen is well supplied with whatever you'd need and the cooker is great. Bed was really snug and comfy and the shower was absolutely brilliant! A perfect location for walks to and around the beach and around the local park and bigger walks like Glenveigh or the Burtonport railway walk only a short drive...Didn't make it to Tory this time...next time for sure :)
