Absolutely gorgeous property midway between Dungloe and Mt Errigal. Every room had its own character. Plenty of space for 10 people and was really nice to have a full stocked kitchen to make breakfast. Wifi signal wasn’t reliable so wouldn’t recommend for remote workers. And had spotty data. But there’s only one “main” road in and out of the property so we didn’t have trouble navigating. Enjoyed some trail running and waterfall hikes near the area. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway with family and friends.
