Schönes altes Haus mit tollem Flair auf riesigem Grundstück am Fluss
Pros:

Altes, historisches und schön gelegenes altes „Haus“, auf einem großen Grundstück mit alten Bäumen. Kühe Weiden nebenan, Hunde und Katzen laufen umher- schönes Landflair.

Das Haus hat viel Seele und Liebe zum Detail. Die Zimmer und das gesamte Haus sind sauber, gut ausgestattet und versprühen einen Charme aus alter Zeit.

Schöne Hortensien blühen überall.

Man ist sehr schnell im Genveagh Nationalpark, an alten Schlössern/ Burgen und traumhaften Stränden. Sehr gute Lage.

Cons:

Frühstück könnte mehr Auswahl an Obst und Gemüse vertragen. Es muss alles bestellt werden und ist recht abgezählt. Dazu Brötchen wären noch prima.
Speisen sind aber gut zubereitet.

Excellent!
Pros:

This was an overall excellent property. The common rooms, our suite, the breakfast, the staff, everything was excellent. Caroline (an owner) was very attentive and happily made us coffees to enjoy in their beautiful sitting room every day. We didn’t have dinner here, but noted it was packed each night for dinner so the chef must also be excellent! (The nearby Letterkenny Golf Club was very good as well. We played it several times.)

Cons:

Nothing.

Everything about this unique period property exceeded our expectations. The location, rural costal setting, property character and style, comfortable original furnishings and overall ambiance were all exactly what we hoped for, and enjoyed. Amazingly welcoming and attentive staff, wonderful food and restaurant service. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Cons:

Nothing
