This property is remote and is good for anyone that likes walking or for touring donegal. The road to it is rough in places with grass down the centre. Yes we would go back there again we loved the peace and quiet of its surroundings

The view was fantastic, we could see all the way to the sea and Ben Bulben. The silence was restful, we heard nothing but the sheep and birds around the house. For us the house was not too remote, we made many trips to the surrounding area: Donegal Town, Killybegs, and the beautiful beaches of Donegal. The friendly and helpful hosts took good care of us. We will gladly come again. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
