    Only issue was we only realised on arrival how close owner of the lodge House was to the Lodge. Ideal of privacy and isolation not what we first expected.

    Location was amazing. Unreal views of the coast. Local area had everything you need for short stay restaurant, pubs and shops. Lodge was up to a great standard.

    A great little cabin in a terrific location.

    Our only issues were that there was too much furniture. We would take some out especially from the bedroom. Also while the cooking facilities were great, we would have liked to have had a small microwave.

    A very simple little cabin. Very new, very clean. Had just about everything. In a really good location if you like wild rural/coastal scenery.

    That I had to leave it

    The property was perfect. It was warm, cosy, with a lot of amenities. It was spotless and the view was excellent. The hosts were attentive. The location is perfect-a few minutes drive from two well stocked shops. There are a number of beaches a short drive away.

    The lodge is new, and inside it is very comfortable, with little treats to welcome tired travellers. The views and quietness add to the experience.

    The Ocean lodge is set in a wonderful part of Donegal, with stunning coastal views. It was warm and cosy, nicely furnished, well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. There was a lovely welcome basket of scones, jam and butter along with some complementary wine. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and when we mentioned we were unsure where to eat that evening, they recommended a lovely bar/restaurant and even booked it in their name for us. Thank you! We look forward to returning in the future.

    Everything was perfect and had evevthing needed

    The cabin was absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated to perfection. The location was perfect, peaceful with both ocean and mountain views. The cabin was easily found and accessible and had everything needed for a lovely night away. Perfect spot for beautitul walks and close enough to walk for dinner/drinks nearby. The cabin was fully equipped with new kitchen and all mod cons anyone could need. Couldn't recommend a stay highly enough. Will definitely be back and recommend anyone for a lovely weekend or trip away to visit!!

    The location of this lodge is excellent, it is close to Gweedore and other neighbouring towns. Host was very friendly and even gave us a lift to the wedding we were attending. The host lives beside the lodge although we did not need to make contact it was good to have them there the views from the lodge are breathtaking, I would recommend and would certainly go back.

    The cabin was absolutely gorgeous, tastefully decorated, very comfortable, warm and cosy. It had everything that was needed. It was great sitting out on the veranda looking at the beautiful scenery, and listening to the ocean, very quiet and peaceful. It is a great location for travelling to other places of interests and some of the lovely sandy beaches in Donegal, Mullaghduff, Carrickfinn and The Boat Strand. Thank you Meave for looking after us and all your little welcoming treats. Everything was perfect, we had such a lovely time.

    Double bed a little small for tall people.

    Delighted that I found this little gem. Great location close to several different beaches and places to explore, with a fabulous view. A neat little lodge with all the essentials. Great kitchen facilities so was really perfect for us with a toddler. Really good communication from the owner and some perfect essentials available when we got there which was very thoughtful.

    It is hard to fault Ocean Lodge for a couples retreat to this corner of Donegal. The view is spectacular; it is approximately 100 yards from the Bloody Foreland lookout point. The chalet is brand new and well furnished, fairly small but perfect for couples. The local family next door are very friendly, kind and as attentive as you need. Would highly recommend!

    A lovely little cabin, very fresh and new. A comfortable seating area inside, it would be very cosy during the colder months. The bed was comfy and it's a very quiet area, so slept very well. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for cooking a meal for two. Lovely little outside sitting area, although weather prevented us from using it. The location puts you in a perfect spot for visiting the beaches and also Glenveagh National Park.
