The area was beautiful and the view from the conservatory is idyllic. My family enjoyed the games room and the hot tub. If I had to pick a fault I would say a few throws / blankets in the living room would be nice as we sat out a lot looking at the beautiful view.

Great accommodation really spacious with everything you could need. You could sit on the terrace or in the Hot tub and look out over the fields to the lovely view of the sea. Really quiet and relaxing with a great Games room for Kids and adults (ours were 10 & 12). It had Pool, Darts, Table Tennis, Air Hockey, table football and the winner for us was the Go Kart which the kids adored. Visited the Maritime Museum, Malin Point and Donegal Castle as all not too far.

Spacious, comfortable and well-equipped property. The games room and hot tub provided lots of entertainment. Short walk into Muff with nice restaurant (Treehouse) and takeaway place (Food guru). Short drive to Inish adventurers or Culdaff beach for sunny days and Doagh famine village or Derry for rainy ones. Would thoroughly recommend staying here.
