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.

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.
We were going to Buncrana festival and this property was perfect for us. It was less than a 5 minute walk to the festival site. The apartment is comfortable and very well equipped. The sofa bed in the lounge was easy to erect and comfortable for my daughter.
Gary met us on arrival and went through everything with us. All communication prior to the visit was prompt and friendly.
We ate in the centre of town before the gig. It is an easy 10 min walk. There was a great pub opposite the apartment also.
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 😊
Great B&B with high quality finish close to the main street. Brian is a true Gent and looks after you from check in to check out. Plenty of onsite parking which means you didn't have far to take in the luggage. Breakfast was amazing with a choice of cooked or continental food and endless tea or coffee. The B&B is c;lose to some great walks and beaches and is ideally located to tour around Northern Ireland.
The house was just amazing. It has recently been renovated to a very high standard. It’s bright & modern. It is spotless with all you could need, nothing has been spared. A lovely surprise to arrive to treats & essentials. Host was very helpful & informative, met us on arrival & insisted if any queries to call. It’s probably one of the best houses we have stayed in & we cannot wait to be back.
We are a family of 7 and were in Bucrana at the end of June to explore the surrounding delights and stayed in the 5 star WAW Seaview apt. The apartment is brilliant and has everything you need to make your stay wonderful. It is very clean and the facilities are topnotch. Clodagh who is the host is brilliant and gave us wonderful tips on how to explore the sites around Bucrana. We'll be back.
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.
Bedroom was spacious, warm, clean & well appointed. Bed was wonderfully comfortable & made for a great night's sleep.
Next morning we ate a fine full Irish breakfast in the pleasant restaurant served by an attentive & cheerful waitress.
A very positive experience.
Would highly recommend this hotel. We will certainly return.
I had a wonderful stay in buncrana. The people are very welcoming and the location is so beautiful. The accommodation is only a short walk to the main street of the town and the room is bright and very spacious. The breakfast was lovely, and I would definitely recommend staying here.
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...
Beautiful cottage with a beautiful view. Lovely and peaceful, livestock right in-front of you. Just what we wanted for a lovely quiet few days away with the family. The most Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Highly recommend.
Had a very enjoyable time in Buncrana. B&B was in a great location and was exceptionally clean. Hosts were very friendly and accomadated our later than anticipated arrival. Would recommend to friends and family.
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.
They made effort to give us a room with ‘’a view’’…. However, no real sea view as there is a dune with vegetation and busy road in front of the hotel…. Nice person at the reception. Good breakfast.
Fabulous location right in the middle of Buncrana, its a no reception hotel so check in was just collecting the room key. Ther room was very comfortable , beds so cosy and no noise.
