    Donal recommended nearby walks which our dog loved. There are some beautiful beaches approx 10 minutes drive away, a great pub/restaurant literally at the bottom of the street and a garage round the corner. A great base to explore Donegal from :)

  • "We had a really lovely stay here in October."

    The views are beautiful and the house is spotless throughout. All the bedrooms are well furnished with lots of storage and comfy beds (lots of beds!) and the en-suite bathrooms were great. Plenty of parking and the owners (who live next door) were so generous allowing the children to play on the play equipment and offering them use of the bikes or balls etc. Another great plus point is that we had control of our own central heating. So when we were home for the evening we could pop it on and it warmed up very quickly. Equally if staying in a bit longer in the morning we could boost it for an extra hour or two. All in all this is a beautiful, modern, clean house with all the facilities you need. We definitely hope to return soon.

  • "I used this cottage as a base for hiking and exploring north Donegal for a week."

    Perfect location, easy to find, and comfortable with everything exactly as advertised. The owners, Donal and Mary, are very friendly and were a great help on arrival; they were available throughout the week if needed, but weren't obtrusive in any way. In terms of exploring Donegal: Errigal and Muckish mountains and Glenveagh National Park are just 15 minutes away; Horn Head and Ards Forest Park are about 30 minutes away; and even Sliabh Liag in the south-west is just an hour (or so) away. There are also great beaches nearby. Perfect accommodation, highly recommended.

The house itself is very spacious and so well equipped with everything you’ll need to aid a relaxing stay . We travelled with our 2 dogs and they had ample outside space in which to burn off all the energy ! Our hosts , Donal and Mary both went out of their way to ensure that everything was ok for us . They were both very welcoming and friendly and gave us some useful hints in terms of restaurants within the local area . We are already looking forward to returning again .

    Well placed to visit a multitude of must go to towns and attractions. We were an extended family ranging ages from infant to pensioners and we were all delighted with the time spent there. The hosts, Donald and Mary sadly were on holiday themselves for most of our visit, but on meeting them the day before leaving, we found them to be very welcoming and friendly. They had family members meet and greet us on arrival and we had no issues at all with the property, and Mary and Donal provided our young grandson with an Alladins cave of toys and stuff to entertain himself with. Without a doubt they've been the most helpful and obliging hosts we've encountered. Already planning to return next year.

    They were very friendly and provided us with information and advise on the local area. Our grandchildren thought they had arrived at an activity centre where they were given access to a variety of bikes even providing for the youngest under 2 years, this on top of the slides, swings and climbing frames in the safe and secure garden. We would definitely recommend Loughanure Lakeview for any age particularly families. The adults enjoyed the pier, kayaking, fishing and swimming. To complete our stay there was the local pub, which was just a stones throw away providing outstanding food. ,

The surrounding area is rich in Gaelic heritage and culture, whilst the cottage offers contemporary living spaces for a family gathering in the Irish countryside.

Park in the off-road parking with space for four cars and get settled in straight away; fully kitted-out for your self-catering needs, the kitchen/diner is a lovely, smart space to rustle up hot meals and get the family together around the dining table.

Retire to the spacious sitting room after a long day exploring your surroundings, where a woodburning stove warms the room for an evening of games or films.
