"Donal and Mary welcomed us to their lovely house which is in a great location."
Donal recommended nearby walks which our dog loved. There are some beautiful beaches approx 10 minutes drive away, a great pub/restaurant literally at the bottom of the street and a garage round the corner. A great base to explore Donegal from :)

"Donal and Mary were great hosts."
They welcomed us and left tea, milk and cake which was a lovely thought. The house has a great location.

"We had a really lovely stay here in October."
The views are beautiful and the house is spotless throughout. All the bedrooms are well furnished with lots of storage and comfy beds (lots of beds!) and the en-suite bathrooms were great. Plenty of parking and the owners (who live next door) were so generous allowing the children to play on the play equipment and offering them use of the bikes or balls etc. Another great plus point is that we had control of our own central heating. So when we were home for the evening we could pop it on and it warmed up very quickly. Equally if staying in a bit longer in the morning we could boost it for an extra hour or two. All in all this is a beautiful, modern, clean house with all the facilities you need. We definitely hope to return soon.

"I used this cottage as a base for hiking and exploring north Donegal for a week."
Perfect location, easy to find, and comfortable with everything exactly as advertised. The owners, Donal and Mary, are very friendly and were a great help on arrival; they were available throughout the week if needed, but weren't obtrusive in any way. In terms of exploring Donegal: Errigal and Muckish mountains and Glenveagh National Park are just 15 minutes away; Horn Head and Ards Forest Park are about 30 minutes away; and even Sliabh Liag in the south-west is just an hour (or so) away. There are also great beaches nearby. Perfect accommodation, highly recommended.
Thank you Derek for your lovely review. Looking forward to welcoming u back again soon Property Owner

"We have just returned from a week at Loch An Iuir lake view cottage ."
The view of the lake from the house is beautiful and we were so lucky to avail of a week of great weather . The house is well placed for touring around the beautiful beaches of West Donegal and there are many fine restaurants within a 10 minute drive of the house . The house itself is very spacious and so well equipped with everything you’ll need to aid a relaxing stay . We travelled with our 2 dogs and they had ample outside space in which to burn off all the energy ! Our hosts , Donal and Mary both went out of their way to ensure that everything was ok for us . They were both very welcoming and friendly and gave us some useful hints in terms of restaurants within the local area . We are already looking forward to returning again . Many thanks , The O’Kane family .

"We've just spent August 19th through to August 26th at this property and found it faultless."
Well placed to visit a multitude of must go to towns and attractions. We were an extended family ranging ages from infant to pensioners and we were all delighted with the time spent there. The hosts, Donald and Mary sadly were on holiday themselves for most of our visit, but on meeting them the day before leaving, we found them to be very welcoming and friendly. They had family members meet and greet us on arrival and we had no issues at all with the property, and Mary and Donal provided our young grandson with an Alladins cave of toys and stuff to entertain himself with. Without a doubt they've been the most helpful and obliging hosts we've encountered. Already planning to return next year.

"4 couples spent 5 days in Loughanure Lake View."
We had a wonderful time in Donegal and the cottage had everything needed for a good time. It was very well equipped; it was very clean and comfortable; it is well situated for visits to the rest of Donegal and very close to the seaside. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a base to roam in Donegal. The owners stay next door and are very helpful, without being in any way, intrusive.

"On arrival at the property we were greeted by Mary and Donal, who provided us with a welcome bottle of Prosecco."
They were very friendly and provided us with information and advise on the local area. Our grandchildren thought they had arrived at an activity centre where they were given access to a variety of bikes even providing for the youngest under 2 years, this on top of the slides, swings and climbing frames in the safe and secure garden. We would definitely recommend Loughanure Lakeview for any age particularly families. The adults enjoyed the pier, kayaking, fishing and swimming. To complete our stay there was the local pub, which was just a stones throw away providing outstanding food. ,

"We had a wonderful week in Loughanure, Mary and Donal are really great hosts, made us very welcome, gave us great tips and pointers for the area."
The house has all you need and great play area for the kids, lovely walks close by and the location is a brilliant base to easily reach the best beaches, the Glenveagh national park, Gola and Arranmor islands, would recommend and hope to come back again some day.

The location was very central & accommodation of a high standard. Some highlights included climbing Mount Errigal, Kayaking off Cruit Island, visiting Arranmore Island, Dunlewy Centre & having fun at the many stunning beaches. Food was fabulous & Loads of memories made! Our boys have voted this as being the best Family holiday Yet. We will return next year!

"Spent a very relaxing week Loughanure Lakeview."
The house was very comfortable and our hosts very helpful. The area is centrally placed for exploring the beauty of Donegal with most attractions no more than 45 minutes away. Definitely made us think of a staycation again next year.

"Loughanure Lakeview is set in the heart of the Rosses between the village of crolly and town of Dungloe with easy access to the some of most beautiful beaches on the wild Atlantic way."
The views from the cottage across the lake are stunning. The local pub is located 100 yards from the house the welcome we received and the food was fantastic. The home was well equipped with everything we could have needed. It was spacious, extremely clean and very comfortable. The on-site park for children was fantastic and it was hard to encourage the children to leave the property. The WiFi was a great touch. Mary and Donal are lovely people, very warm and welcoming and couldn’t have done more to make us feel at home and comfortable. This cottage is great the location is fantastic we had the best week and will most definitely be back in the near future if not before the end of summer. I would highly recommend this cottage for families or groups looking to explore the wild Atlantic way.
