The perfect vacation home on the spectacular Northwest Coast of Ireland

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect month on a peaceful Donegal farmAs a city girl, spending a month here in August was wonderful. We were four adults and two children (some nights we were six adults and two children) and had more than enough space - the house was comfortable and beautifully kept. Mornings and evenings we watched the cows head off to be milked, there were sheep outside my window, and the wide, calm countryside views were simply stunning. Michael and Jennifer were great to work with - the whole process from booking to check-out was seamless. We loved visiting Donegal town and used it as a base for many day trips. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to spend time in the country — whether a month or a shorter stay."
