"The premises itself are nice but for what we were charged to stay I was a little disappointed the sofa has a slash in the arm that was covered by a cushion, the tiles around the fireplace are broken which would be dangerous if a small child was staying as there quite sharp,the garden is not fully secure for a pet as the gate is broken & doesn’t even have a lock, I don’t know if it’s just a bulb but the light above front door outside never worked the whole time we were there making it quite difficult of a night to open the door as it was dark ( thank god for phone torches) & finally the main bedroom the mattress needs replacing as you can feel the springs."
But for location in was perfect being right in the town.
Thank you Richard for your kind feedback . We will indeed take on board your feedback and address the issues as soon as possible to make the home more comfortable . We do hope to see you again in the future . Kind regards Michelle and Pat Property Owner

"Perfect accommodation for our group of five adults."
Felt like home more than a rental. Very comfortable and clean. Location of property is outstanding. Walkable to every retail store, pub or eatery in the town. This property would be my first recommendation to anyone who is visiting the wonderful town of Ardara, Co Donegal.
Thank you James for the lovely feedback we received today . I’m glad it felt like a home to you that was what we were aiming for . And location is perfect if you want to enjoy the town . We do hope you return again in the future Property Owner

"A good big house in a great location with parking."
The upstairs was nicely done but the downstairs and bathrooms are a bit dated. The facilities let the property down a bit, with limited bowls amd glasses, no microwave, a small telly and the shower in the main bathroom that was very slippy. There was also rubbish in the kitchen bin upon arrival and it gave the downstairs a bad smell.
thank you Jack for your feedback .I have addressed the rubbish issue with the cleaners and I have been reassured it won't happen again . also since you brought the bowls and glasses to my attention they are being replaced .A microwave is also being installed .The bath upstairs has an antislip mat with it I will look into getting one maby that will cover a larger area . I do hope you enjoyed your stay and we will look forward in the future welcoming you again with our updates in place . Property Owner

"The house was in a great position in the town ."
Handy for most things. The oven needs a new seal and a good clean The microwave needs to be dumped .we refused to use it was falling apart with rust. Couldn't be healthy. All the germs would be trapped inside. And the grass was uncut this year and the house was very dirty to my standards. We tried to contact owner with no luck.
thank you Deirdra for your feedback . upon your suggestion we have replaced the oven and hob in the house and removed the microwave which will be replaced . shortly .The grass is cut every twelve days weather permitting ,perhaps it was due a cut during your stay .I did not receive a missed call from you ,or a voicemail .I always return a call if missed and a message left . I do hope you enjoyed your stay in ardara and enjoyed the locals and the possibly one of the many festivals on offer . Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house in Ardara, which has been recently renovated and is very welcoming with the open fire in the living room and all the facilities you would need."
The location is perfect, just round the corner from some great pubs, restaurants, cafe's and a shop, and the the perfect place for exploring West Donegal. The hosts Michelle and Pat are really supportive and helpful, and respond straight away to any requests. We would definitely return.

The property
Nestled at the centre of Ardara, a charming seaside village in County Donegal, rests the quaint, three-bedroom holiday home of Owen Tucker View House.
With designated parking for one car, an enclosed lawned garden, and a collection of well-appointed living areas, this delightful property welcomes a family or group of six, along with one well-behaved dog, for a relaxing, fuss-free stay just a short car journey east of the Crocknamurrin Mountain Bog nature reserve.
Step into your lovely new home-from-home and make yourself comfortable by getting to work in the fully-equipped kitchen/diner, housing all the appliances you’ll need to rustle up a delicious home-cooked dinner.
Savour your meals together at the dining table, which seats six, before you retreat to the sitting room to gather, enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage, and plan the rest of your trip.
When sleep calls, head upstairs to refresh with a revitalising shower or a soak in the bath before you finally catch your rest in one of the three inviting bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a double bed and accompanying en-suite shower.
When you’re ready, head out to explore your local area.
A walk into the heart of Ardara will bring you to your nearest convenience store and supermarket, where you can stock up on essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be had at Nancy's, a bar popular with locals and tourists alike.
During your stay, be sure to pay a visit to the nearby scenic point of St John’s Pier, which looks out upon the idyllic bay.
Further afield, jump in the car to explore nearby landmarks and attractions, whether that’s the awe-striking locale of the Glengesh Viewing Point, the brilliant Sheskinmore Nature Reserve Park, the breathtaking Assaranca Waterfall, or the magnificent Caves of Maghera.
For a full day out, drive west along the coast until you reach the setting of Glencolumbkille, where you can spend an afternoon picnicking or sunbathing on the stretch of Glencolumbkille Beach, brush up on local history at the Glencolmcille Folk Village, or even enjoy a spot of fishing or crabbing at the Lug na druan Pier.
Make your next stay in County Donegal unforgettable by booking Owen Tucker View House.

About the location
ARDARA, COUNTY DONEGAL
Donegal Town 17 miles; Derry Airport 54 miles.
Ardara, voted by The Irish Times as one of the 'best villages to live in' in 2012, is one of the most attractive towns in Donegal, set in a wide valley where the Owentocher River enters Loughros More Bay. Visitors can enjoy the many craft and gift shops, together with the traditional Irish pubs. There are many brown trout lakes in the area for budding fisherman, or why not discover the nearby caves and falls of Maghera? Enjoy walking the magnificent Glengesh Pass, with spectacular views over the Atlantic from Loughros Point. Every March, the village hosts a successful walking festival with walkers coming from all over the world, while May boasts the annual “Cup of Tae” traditional music festival. Donegal town, 17 miles away, is situated at the mouth of Donegal Bay, on the River Eske, and is overshadowed by the Bluestack Mountains, which provide a great base for hill walking. With Donegal Castle, and the remains of a Franciscan Abbey which dates back to the 15th century, there is plenty of Irish history to absorb. There is a horse riding centre just one mile away, great golfing opportunities nearby, with a magnificent links course open for players of all abilities just seven miles away, and five miles away is Killybegs Sea Angling, where a competition is held on the first Saturday in May and September each year, along with the Killybegs International Sea Angling Festival, which is a two day event on the second weekend in July. Also 20 miles away is the wonderful Slieve League mountain, which has a height of 601 metres (1972 feet) and is situated on the Atlantic coast of County Donegal. With its sandy beaches offering good surfing conditions, restaurants, shops and pubs, this is the perfect base for an Irish break.
