"Was a wonderful setting, especially beautiful sunsets."
We were 4 couples and felt completely at home and comfortable. There was plenty of extra space to spread out, or to find a quiet retreat. Beds were comfortable-no complaints from anyone! The house was neat, clean, well organized. And the views were mesmerizing. Would highly recommend this property to families or groups. Location was fine for us, as we had been to Ireland before and didn’t feel a need to see the typical sites. But it does sit a bit far from some touristy sites. We were exploring, finding national forest sites, walking areas, and views more than seeking castles. A boat trip to the Slieve League cliffs was a great one to book ( seasonal). So the location for us was fine. Yes, we all felt it was an ideal visit for us and would return when opportunity allows.

"Wow wow wow Words cannot describe this house."
It is in a completely stunning setting and the house itself is so beautifully decorated and furnished. There are so many “extras” provided it is unbelievable - my husband and son now want one of the fantastic coffee machines they had the use of all week! Jim is on hand if any little problems do arise which is good to know. Yes it is at the high end price bracket but you most certainly get value for your money. Very well worth the price and we would certainly love to return to Whitehorse House.

"Absolutely stunning."
Amazing unspoiled sea view, underfloor heating, en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom. 10 minutes walk from a beautiful beach and the house is greatly stocked. The pool table was a hit with our two girls. Best stocked and facilitated house we ever stayed in. Our only suggestion is that a patio area with chairs and table would add more value to the holidays.

"We were VERY pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Whitehorse House in Donegal."
The location is absolutely stunning, and the house takes full advantage of this - the kitchen and seating areas have massive windows, which look out onto the rolling waves of the sea, two of the four bedrooms also have excellent sea views. However, the house itself would be what we would consider a 'destination' in itself - underfloor heating throughout, large and spacious rooms, an extremely well stocked kitchen (we like to cook, and most times we hire a house, we have to bring our supplies with us - none were needed this time, everything we wanted was provided, and more). Everything supplied was of a very high quality. Very comfortable beds, plenty of extra sheets and towels there if needed, Dyson hair dryers, washer and dryer in the boiler room, lots of very cosy armchairs, a library with loads of books, open fire (which we didn't need, as the heating was on 24/7), all four bedrooms are en-suite, and tons of hot water always available, all four bedrooms also have TVs too. Upstairs there is another massive room, with a huge TV at one end, a table tennis table, snooker table, games console and a desk looking out to sea. The house was spotless when we arrived, and Anne was there to greet us and show us around - very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble for her. She also came to see us off on our last day. We were a party of six adults (and two dogs), and we stayed for seven nights, but all of us were disappointed that we had not booked for longer. If you get a chance to to to Whitehorse House - do it!! You won't regret it.

"We were blown away by the quality of the accommodation."
The kitchen facilities were fantastic and the selection of spices the best I’ve seen in a rental. The beds were outstandingly comfortable. And the location superb. The games area was brilliant. My kids loved it and I think will talk about it for years to come. Thank you for your hospitality. I struggle to think of any constructive criticism. It was great.
Thank you Christopher for your kind comments. We were glad you enjoyed your stay and your review was greatly appreciated. Property Owner
