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.

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.

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.
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.
I stayed with my wife and two boys 5 and 7.upon arrival there was a welcome basket which was very kind and very much appreciated by us all was a lovely touch to welcome us. We all had a lovely time at the house, great location to everything in buncrana 5 min Walk into town center. House was perfect ,very clean and everything we needed was a like a home from home. The host was so kind and made sure we had everything sorted for us. Can't recommend enough definitely stay 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 😊
This is one of the best place to stay either for getaway or vacations with nearby beach & town. Justin is very helpful from booking until check out, very responsive to all messages. The interior of the house is excellent, modern and very clean and the best part is the hot tub with nice view & can be used on any weather as it is indoor with fire and seating area to accomodate large no of ppl. I give this place 5 stars and definitely will return in future
Clean, well appointed apartment comfortably shared by family of 5. Attentive host and hostess available throughout and quite helpful. Washing facilities and updated kitchen a plus. Hot food/Irish breakfast and eat in dining at nearby circle K also an option. Central location on bus route, within walking distance of Main Street, grocery stores and beach.
beautiful location near to town centre. walked down beautiful Swan park every morning before breakfast with the dog. perfect location Mary Margaret as usual was the hostess with the mostes ! loved meeting Willie in the garden for wee chats, was always interested in our daily Donegal adventures . best Bed and breakfast in Buncrana
Staff throughout the hotel and restaurant were friendly and helpful. Our room was huge, which was a lucky break for us. Everything was clean and tidy. Looking over the golf course while dining was especially nice. Plentiful free parking. The hotel was a perfect location for taking the first Swilly Ferry to Rathmullen the next morning.
Central with a good car park across from it..great walks and big park if you have kids .good beach is 5 mins away and town also just 5 mins walk.. breakfast was very tasty best I've eaten in a long time and spotless in my room...
We stayed in the 2-bed unit, nicely renovated, good location, modern & warm, clean and near to local shop & hotel with bar / restaurant and couple mins drive to Buncrana main street. The view over Lough Swilly is gorgeous.
Elegant decor, warm welcome, and sumptuous place in a beautiful setting overlooking Lough Swilly and close to restaurants and amenities. Marie and her husband offered a smooth and accommodating service.
It's spacious. In the centre of Buncrana and right opposite lidl. Pubs and restaurants 5 mins walk away. 12.mins to walk to ferry. For us very convenient. Easy going communication too.
amazing value for money we where at a wedding in the inishowen gateway hotel and this cottage is just across road. very comfortable and perfect so handy to everything you’ll need.
Brian could not have been a more gracious and helpful host. Absolute gentleman. Room was gorgeous. Location was excellent. Well worth a stay in beautiful Buncrana.
