Beautiful surroundings. Nice rooms. Noreen was very nice and came quickly when we needed help.
Make sure that are glasses and plates for the number of people the house will hold. There were not 2 glasses that were identical and several of the plats had big cracks. Also, the frying pannwas a disaster. I know ot is late in the season, but still…

It's very peaceful in Harefield. The accommodation is spotless and spacious. Checking is easy and Noreen is always available to help with any questions.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harefield Holiday Home
The house was much larger than expected. Looked smaller from the outside but was far bigger inside.
My only comment would be that in the two large bedrooms upstairs they could both fit at least a King size bed. The double beds were too small for my husband and I so we slept in two rooms. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Great house for our young family.
Great house, well layed, perfect for our young family. The house is a 2 minute drive from beaches, walks and Kilcar village.
Immersion was broken, but it made little difference for us.

Lovely Stay
Provided a lovely base for our first trip to Donegal. House was more than adequate. Plenty of room and excellent facilities. Only 1.25km walk to Kilcar. Lovely view out the back and very quiet location. Excellent beaches only 5 mins drive away. Would recommend.
There was WiFi in the house but it struggled with 3 teenaged boys streaming. Other than that it was ok.
