    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. 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.

    The apartment is located within easy walking distance of Buncrana town centre and local shops including a Lidl and an Aldi. Clodagh and her family went out of their way to make my family feel very welcome including adding her own personal touches to the apartment. The rooms and bathrooms were all very warm and comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We also enjoyed sitting out on her lovely balcony looking over Lough Swilly and the Inishowen Peninsula. We would have no hesitation booking again on our next return trip to Buncrana.

    Apartment is in a great location, minutes from the beach and town centre. We would especially recommend Tank and Skinnys by the pier for breakfast and lunch and the Sherpa restaurant on Main street for dinner, both of which were only minutes walk from the apartment. Check in was easy with the owner messaging me the code for the key box. Very clean property. Large with 2 wc's and.spacious enough for our group.of 4. Comfortable beds and pillows. We really enjoyed our break in Buncrana and would book this apartment again.

    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 😊

    Really nice hotel. Had a good big room with everything you would need including a fan which was badly needed as it was exceptionally hot weather. Breakfast was plentiful with something for everyone. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again if I was back in Buncrana

    Lovely big property, beautiful views over the lough, 2 minute drive to a lovely beach, and near to pubs / restaurants. Lots of space for the family to spread out in the property and I can imagine in summer it will be stunning having a BBQ in the outside patio area. Heating also worked well.

    The property was spacious and equipped with what we needed for our stay. We were visiting the area to attend a family wedding, easy to check in. May benefit from some soft furnishings to help acoustics in the lounge and kitchen.
