Very cosy inside, lovely area to sit by the fire. Great gardens with some fire pits and seating areas. Very quiet during our stay. Relaxed atmosphere. Information sent ahead of time so I had a good idea of what to expect.

It was great, just disappointed we were there on a night the fish van wasn’t open!

So different a complete hidden gem

After first 3 seconds I knew that I will recharge and recover from busy,noisy weeks I had before coming here. Beautiful views,quietness lovely food and kind familiar atmosphere makes that you want to come back. Enjoy all the spots around in the garden, landscape is amazing you can watch full panorama sunsets as well as sunrises.If you are a bird watcher there is plenty to watch and listen to.If you are not install Merlin bird ID it’s fun to discover which birds you hear.It’s a beautiful place with respect for people and nature.

loved it! We stayed in one of the family rooms (number 11), it was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was not included in our room price, however for €12 per person you could buy it extra (good choice of breads, yogurt, fruit and boiled eggs available). We ate at the fish and chip van every night which was incredible! the fish tacos were to die for. Staff were great and gave good recommendations on where to go and what to do.

not much! short drive from Dunfanaghy and taxis cost €10 each way.

Breakfast was fairly basic but ok. Only issue was with having to pre-book breakfast slots - and those were very strict!

the site, the view and space to go around

the room was a bit small

I can't comment on cleanliness etc because I never got to see my room.

I received a confirmation of my reservation from booking .com, followed a question about my arrival time, which I responded to. I then spent the following day hiking in an in area without a phone signal. I arrived to the lodge at the agreed-upon time, but the place was deserted. Not a soul. There was a sign pasted on the window with a phone number to call if nobody is present (that number was different from the one on booking.com). I called both numbers, but there was no answer in either one. We waited for a while, and when it became clear nobody is going to show up I called booking.com support (in the US). I waited on the phone for about 20 minutes while they tried to contact the proprietors, but they also failed. It was rather stressful because it was difficult to find another room with two twin beds so late in the game. We ended up driving 30 km away to the closest such room we could find without doubling the cost. I later found that the lodge has sent me an email the previous day (while I was hiking) with a link to a web page which would have given me some information. But as I was not able to check my email on that day, that was completely useless. I do not know what the information in that link was, or whether that would have enabled me to enter a room, because by the time I was able to read the email, this reservation was cancelled. To the proprietors: if you rent out a place and you are not going to be present, the least you can do is be available to answer the phone at the agreed-upon check-in time. Sending an email the day before and then disappearing is not acceptable. Your negligence caused me significant harm: wasting an hour waiting for you, followed by spending time with booking.com support (and paying dearly for calling the US while traveling abroad), wasting another hour finding an alternative place for the night, then driving 30 km and ending far from where I was planing to to travel the following day.

Loved the rooms. Comfortable and attractive and spacious with everything we needed. Fabulous location. Beautiful surroundings. Great vibe.
