“Peace”
Tranquil setting. 1 min to beautiful beach with safe swimming. Compact and clean property.Hotel quality white bed linen. Buncrana is a five min drive or 40 minute walk along shore walk.If you want to get away from it all… this lovely house will do it for you.

Lovely location right at the beach in Buncrana. The house is very neat and clean, with excellent WiFi connection. One of the few places that allow dogs- we had our family dog with us and found it difficult to find dog friendly places.

“Brilliant beach location”
The location was brilliant - It felt very private. The beach is a 2 minute walk from the front door. You can walk into town via a seaside path in 30 mins. There is an open fire, & conservatory with a sea view, which is lovely. The property had all the stuff you needed. Great wifi.

“A fantastic fine . Look forward to to returning and hopefully the sun will be shining.”
The property was within a short walking distance to the beach and you could view the beach from the front porch . The Buncrana shore walk was on our door step and it took us all the way around to Straghill beach one way and we could walk into Buncrana town the other way . We met Christine our host on the first day of our stay who was so friendly and offered to help with anything we needed . Her husband Eunan assisted with get a taxi into town on one of the evenings when we had walked the legs of ourselves 😀. There was everything in the house that you needed and it was spotless . A shout out to Daniel Mc Daid our taxi driver who was at the door with in 5 minutes of calling him and gave us a great history or Buncrana and places around the area for us to visit . We will certainly be looking at booking this fantastic house again.
