Beautiful pod and beautiful location
Pros:

We loved our stay here at paddock pod. The pod was spotless clean and very comfortable. The hot tub and sauna were great and it was nice and private. As it is self check in and check out we never seen the owners but they contacted asking if we needed anything and thanked us for staying and seem really nice. We will definitely book again sometime

Cons:

With the pod being pet friendly, a gate between the fence and sauna would be handy so pets can’t escape as we would love to bring our dogs with us sometime.

Pros:

Great hidden gem in Donegal, very private and comfortable! The hot tub is 10/10 and was ready to be used when I arrived. Crisps and biscuits on the bed, lovely treats from.the host! Easy check in/check out and 3min driving from a Spar.

Cons:

I didn't receive any instructions on how to use the sauna, amd I was very excited to experience a private one. But this didn't ruined my trip...

Pros:

The sauna was very good

Cons:

To start with paid 180 euro for what I could describe as bloody awful, the hot tub was fillty dead bugs and dirt in it, sides didn't look like they have been clean in weeks, the pod itself was ok, the bed was horrible. The gowns we got had holes in all the pockets I nearly broke my phone putting it into it, we had to order food and went to get a fork and they where all covered in what looked like curry, the blinds that you pull down on the door where disgusting, and I'm assuming the person who owns it cat would leave us alone, even ran into the pod and jumped around everywhere, my partner who is allergic to the hair has broken out in a rash. This is the worst stay we ever had, and would definitely like a refund and wouldn't recommend to anyone

I really enjoyed my stay and because it’s a short distance to my home, I will definitely be booking again and recommendi
Pros:

The paddock pod was exceptionally clean and private. Self check in and self check out. If you needed to contact the staff they would go over and beyond. The complementary snacks was such a lovely touch. The hot tub and sauna was just amazing.

Netflix and Chill
Pros:

A little oasis in the country in Wild Donegal, lovely little private space to recharge the batteries after attending a wedding the previous day, just what we needed and it was also a birthday treat for Caroline, we had a very tasty lunch in The Harbour Inn in Buncrana a short drive away and the beach is a must visit, finishing our evening between the hottub,sauna and Netflix was 5 * relaxation.

Cons:

The flies are a bit annoying but its in the country

The stay was relaxing and comfortable
Pros:

The property was amazing.
The location is close very good- there were 2 little villages 5 minutes away- with the property being in the countryside I found this quit good.
One of which had a lovely little cafe to grab something to eat and the other little village had a chipper for the later evening snacks.
The hot tub and sauna were so relaxing and the atmosphere around the property was amazing.
The birds chirping and singing while sitting in the hot tub really added to the experience.
We even had some little visitors while sitting out- 2 lovely peacocks and a little cat (I'm an animal lover) so this really made my stay enjoyable.
