"Just back from spending a week at the Beechhouse with our family, The house was superb, very clean and tidy, and the location was spectacular."
We would definitely recommend staying here, and we hope to be back in the near future. Thanks again for the lovely stay.

"Absolutely beautiful property."
Clean, tidy and had everything you could need. Upstairs living area perfectly situated for wonderful views overlooking the sea. Perfect location for peaceful getaway yet 5 mins drive from shop and pub. Linda and Sinead excellent hosts, have previously stayed at their Upper Killult property and always available should you require anything. Will definitely be looking forward to returning to the Beachouse.

Fantastic property with all the necessary facilities Had a very relaxing break excellent beaches on your doorstep and Fantastic views from the house

"The Beachhouse is peaceful and idyllic."
We unexpectedly experienced warm summer weather for most of our fortnight in September with only a few days that were a wash out. Regardless, you can enjoy the property in any weather as when we were not out in and around Donegal, there was plenty of space for our daughter to play in the rooms and we could relax with a book too. It's also no issue to communicate with the property owner should it be required. Would highly recommend staying here.

"The house is everything as described and more."
We loved it so much we booked for 2 weeks next year. If you have dogs and are looking for luxury you won't be disappointed. A home from home. The views, the peaceful surroundings, the beach on your doorstep to name a few. Thanks to syke cottages and the beach house for a stress free stay.

"Part of our honeymoon was spent in this fabulous property; the peaceful location, the stunning views, the luxury furnishings, the friendly welcome, and being able to bring our beloved pup with us all helped to make very special memories."
So much so that we have booked again for our anniversary next year! Book it you won't regret it! Thank you Sinead for the lovely welcome and making sure we settled in OK. The property is spotlessly clean with everything that we needed, we had the best time

"Wonderful holiday had by all & we didn’t want to leave."
Luxurious Beachouse & yet so homely with everything & more you could ever want or need. House perfectly tidy. Free standing bath gave us a little home Spa experience. Great thought & love went into every detail of this house. Surrounded by such natural beauty, the views were stunning & relaxing. Beach nearby for walking, swimming or R&R with nature. Good size Supermarket nearby. Visited Glenveagh National Park twice & brought our bikes & so worth a visit. Definitely going to return next year. Finally thanks to the Sykes Team for all they did to ensure our holiday plans went so smoothly.

"+ House was fantastic."
Very clean and spacious. It had amazing views and it was great being able to walk across the dunes over to the beach at low tide. Very luxurious, and would 100% visit again. Underfloor heating made it very cosy and warm. Owner very helpful when we had power cuts during storm Isha and Jocelyn! - If bringing a dog, the garden is not secure especially when you bring a pup with zero recall! Also there was no baking equipment or casserole/presentation dishes for food. Or hairdryer.
Hi Mark glad you enjoyed the house and survived the storms ! Will make sure there’s baking equipment and dishes for your next visit Property Owner

"Hands down."
Thee best rental we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. To echo almost every other review, pictures do not do this gem justice. It’s like an interior designer planned every aspect of this home. The design, the quality and the sheer luxury is second to none. Views out of this world. It was a storm almost every day of our visit and we loved watching it from the inside through many of the picture windows. We 10000% will be booking again. Actually don’t want to share it with anyone else. Top tip: don’t feel the need to pre buy and pack food and drink. The local spar has absolutely everything you may need. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Look for are to staying again.

"We had a wonderful stay."
The views are tremendous no matter the weather. Well equipped, cosy and spotless. Sinead easily reachable to answer any queries. The beach is a short drive and was great for our dog. We really enjoyed our stay, the proximity of the sea has a real healing property for my wife, much needed after some recent losses. In the kitchen a sieve would be handy and a cafetiere (we brought one!). Thank you.

"We had a fabulous week in the Beach House."
We were met by Sinead who was so helpful and gave us very useful information about local events happening during our stay. Communication was great with her. As previous reviews have said, the house really is better than the pictures! It is thoughtfully and tastefully decorated with lovely art work throughout the house. The views are to die for from every window! It is so lovely to sit and watch the changing views with the tides. It was warm and cosy and perfect for relaxing in the evening after a day spent exploring the local area. Every possible thing you could need is provided, it was the best equipped house we have stayed in, and it was spotlessly clean! We have stayed in many holiday houses over the years and this was our favourite yet, will be hard to beat! We hope to return soon.
-
"Fantastic property in a great location."
Photos don’t do the property justice. Thought some of the pictures made it feel a bit stark and bare, in fact the property felt luxurious throughout. Everything is of a very high quality with a huge secure garden area leading down to the sea shore
-
"Had a glorious week at the beachhouse."
..despite the mixed weather...on dry days was lovely to sit out on the balcony and take in the views and on wet windy weather you could appreciate your cosy and comfortable surroundings watching the wild weather outside in this exceptional property. As other reviewers have said, the pictures do not do it justice. Well decorated in tones drawn from surrounding landscape. Sinead helpful in providing us with instructions as to how to access local irish tv channels. Beds are very comfortable, quality linens etc, fabulous ensuite bathrooms, particularly master bedroom suite...Great facilities eg utility room, dishwasher tumble drier etc ...just bring a hairdryer...access road a bit 'rural' but driveway round property excellent. Will definitely return next year if we can. Many thanks John and Michelle

"Beautiful, pristine condition, amazing views, extremely comfortable, loved it."
-
"This was an exceptional house to stay in, the photos don’t do it justice!"
Amazing views from the back and even seats overlooking the estuary (if you’re lucky enough and it’s not raining). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, was here for my 50th birthday, everything was provided and was lovely decor and comfort (quite unusual in some holiday let’s to have both). Would definitely book again if we ever come back this way!
-
"The Beachhouse was even better in real life than the gorgeous photos on web site."
Everything has thoughtfully been designed for comfort with plenty of space and beautifully decorated. Having plenty space around house was fantastic too with two dogs and great access to beach walks to tire them out. Will be highly recommending this to family and friends.
-
"Sinead the caretaker was very helpful from the start of our visit to the end."
The property was immaculate we just didn’t want to leave! We just couldn’t find a thing wrong, the location & views were outstanding.
-
"This house was stunning with spectacular views of the sea and the mountains."
The whole house was beautifully furnished with lots of lovely features. I couldn’t fault it. It’s an excellent spot for touring Donegal with a range of fabulous beaches nearby along with Mount Errigal which is an enjoyable climb.
-
"Outstanding house with beautiful views."
Everything in the house is so well thought out. So peaceful, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Although we had rain most of our stay it didn't stop us getting out and about. We had a really enjoyable week would highly recommend The Beachhouse. Pity there is only 5 stars to mark ...its a 10 from us.
-
"Just back from this beautiful property the interiors and Layout of the house is outstanding the photos don’t do it justice the views are just amazing!"
!! The master bedroom is a dream! We had a lovely relaxed stay and even when the rain comes you can relax and enjoy your surroundings in the luxurious comforts ! Would highly recommend this dream house with dream views
-
"My family and I had an amazing stay at the beach house, amazing views and so peaceful, for my dogs to be able to walk straight out the back door onto a private beach I don’t think they wanted to come back home."
A short 5 minute drive to another beautiful sandy beach, the holiday home is one of the best I’ve stayed in and we will definitely return. So relaxing and a very spacious modern home 10/10
I am so glad you enjoyed yourself looking forward to seeing you back again Linda Property Owner
-
"Wonderful family week spent in this beautiful house."
The views were amazing even in the rain, the house has everything you need and as a family is the favourite holiday house we've ever stayed in. The owner was very friendly and helpful and there were plenty of beaches, walks and castles to keep us busy in the area. Would highly recommend the Beachhouse for a fabulous holiday.
-
"The Beachhouse is a fabulous property, architecturally designed and coordinated."
Luxurious throughout, from the bedrooms, to the bathrooms, and not forgetting the upstairs kitchen/dining/living area. In a quiet location, but very close to Magheraroarty pier, and beach. We had a lovely time, and will be back.
Thank you for your great review so glad you enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing you again Regards Linda Property Owner
-
"I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful location and property, we had a fabulous holiday and we’re lucky enough to witness some of the most spectacular sunsets during our stay."
You will not be disappointed
-
"This is an exceptional property and location."
I’ve stayed in AirBnBs in ten different countries but this is by some distance the best quality accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. I would be back tomorrow if I could.
-
"Property/Location was so peaceful and relaxing."
Family and pets really enjoyed being so close to the beach and the ocean. Views from property were outstanding. Property has so much room inside that our group of 5 plus 2 pets were perfectly accommodated. Gas barbecue was easy to use, and cleanliness in and around property was to a very high standard. Very sad our holiday there is over!
-
"Hi There, Our weeks stay was brilliant from start to finish."
The Beechouse was really clean and comfortable. Its location was really convenient for local pier, beach, etc. We would really be interested in booking another week in this house, if not this year, definitely next year. We used the wooden deck chairs at end of garden in evenings for a few drinks, such beauty all around!!! We had a minor problem with batteries for window blinds but managed to rectify this ourselves, by swapping around batteries. Also, maybe an idea going forward, would be to erect a glass shelter around garden deck chair area, It got quite cold there in late evenings. But, on the whole, a very enjoyable and comfortable week was had here by my wife and I, our daughter and her husband and also our son, plus our little 12 yr old terrier dog. Larry Mc Cole, Dublin.

"Perfect in every way."
Beautiful house and surroundings. Could not have asked for more.
-
"Beautiful Beach House - fabulous views, tastefully decorated with everything you can think of for a fabulous, comfortable holiday."
I kept pinching myself, exploring Ireland we enjoyed, breathtaking views, stunning beaches and didn’t want the exciting adventures to end. Prepared to be wowed at Beach House!
-
"Simply splendid."
Lovely house, tastefully decorated, fantastic setting. We really enjoyed our stay. The beach beside the harbour, where the Inishbofin ferry launches, is fantastic. We had a lot of rain during stay and the Beachhouse was the perfect spot for very comfortable relaxation with views to die for.
-
"Amazing house,with amazing views, comfortable warm,spacious."
Helpful and kind owner, highly recommend this lovely cottage.Thank you for a relaxing, peaceful stay.Sharon.
-
"This property is more than we expected."
Our hostesses was very friendly and reachable. The house is very lovely and the view was more than ideal. Privet garden not over looked. It is walkable from the property to it’s own little paradise at the bay. Fun for family with kids who wanted to spend a day at the sandy beach or a nice walk with your pet. Very quiet location for anyone who wanted to be away from city and noises.
-
"Yet again another fabulous holiday, we are back at Easter for a week and so excited to be going back to an amazing holiday home and location."
Many thanks for allowing us to stay in your lovely home again . Andrea Chris and two very happy dogs Poppy and Daisy.

"One of the best vacations of my life, this amazing house brightened up the harsh weather."
Beautiful home in an amazing location. The house has everything you need and even more. The house is perfectly clean. Pet friendly and we were so happy to have our beloved dogs by our side. We absolutely recommend!!!!! This is the best thing that could happen on my 50th birthday, waking up with a view of the ocean and mountains. We will definitely come back again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Stunning! Attention to detail exceptional."
Beautiful house in a most spectacular location. The views are incredible from the kitchen, master bedroom and outside spaces. Facilities were excellent and we have never been to a holiday home that was so well equipped with literally everything you could need. Fantastic property, very clean & well equipped. Sinead was indeed a five star host. She gave us very useful information before we checked in and maintained good communication with us. The instruction covers every single detail. The property has excellent amenities and we made a lot of use of the kitchen and common space with our group. Sinead also allowed our dogs to stay in the flat with us which was great. We had a great time. Thanks Sinead, we had a lovely Christmas during our stay.
-
"Fabulous place to stay, the house was stunning and the scenery was breathtaking."
Watching the sun rise from the bottom of the garden over the mountains and sea, will be a memory to treasure forever. We loved it so much we have booked a return visit next year.
-
"Friendly welcome."
excellent, first class accommodation set at a very high standard, every thing you could want is provided. beds were very comfortable and spotlessly clean. shower rooms were fantastic, first class. absolute stunning views from the house. only thing missing was a visitor review book, would have liked to give some positive feedback to future guests.
-
"The property was more than we expected, the location was perfect situated right on the shoreline which was at the bottom of the garden."
There was a picnic table and chairs right there when the weather was good you didn't feel the need to move anywhere else as the views where stunning. The house itself has been designed to make the most of the views with the living accommodation being upstairs with the added benefit of an upstairs patio off the lounge complete with gas barbecue and patio furniture, another encouragement not to go far. Great detail has been put into the furnishings and I got the feeling that an interior designer had been employed to ensure that the full potential of the house was achieved. Everything about it has been designed to make your stay there enjoyable. As for the area it must rate as one of the most beautiful areas of the British Isles with stunning beaches of white sand more often with hardly a sole on them and coastal scenery with sea cliffs coupled with majestic mountains. When needing help in asking directions or finding places the local people where more than helpful and very welcoming and polite. I can also recommend the boat trip across to Tory Island for a day out, we will hopefully return in the future.

"We were blown away with the quality of the house it’s location and especially the quality of the interior and design."
Everything was pure luxury no expense spared . Sinead who meet us upon arrival with the key’s was very friendly and answered all our questions regarding places to eat and the surrounding area . A guest book would have been nice to write a thank you message to the owner and also give other visitors ideas of places to visit and good restaurants in the area . We had the most amazing holiday, we live in Ireland and we always holiday here with our two dogs this is our favourite holiday house and location to date . See you next year . Andrea and family not forgetting the very happy dogs Poppy and Daisy.

"This was a first class experience, a beautiful house with every facility and comfort you could need in an amazing location."
The house was exceptional, fantastic interior, plenty of space, comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms & living accommodation upstairs taking in the views. The lady managing the property is excellent, it was immaculately clean on arrival and very well stocked. Definitely five star rating !!

About the location
GORTAHORK, COUNTY DONEGAL
Glenveagh National Park 11.5 miles; Dungloe 18 miles; Letterkenny 27 miles.
The village of Gortahork is situated on the north western tip of the County Donegal coast, and is an increasingly popular location for surfing and walking. There are several beautiful beaches around the area, and the village is home to the Samhain International Poetry Festival each year. From Gortahork, Glenveagh National Park is easily accessible for a great day out, and with 16,000 acres, it is a walker's paradise. The renowned artist Derek Hill bequeathed his house and gallery near Glenveagh along with his art collection to the nation in 1980, attached is Glebe Gallery and tea rooms which hosts many exhibitions. For a day's relaxation head to nearby Bunbeag which has a swimming pool and a spa area or An Chuirt Hotel which lies at the foot of the Errigal Mountain and has its own health club and spa. Island-hopping is fun for all the family, and from Gortahork, you can charter a boat and visit Arranmore, Cruit Island and Owey Island. Cruit Island is joined to the mainland by a bridge, so is easily reached by car, but chartering a boat is much more exciting! Nearby, the town of Dungloe plays host to the annual ‘Mary From Dungloe’ festival, and is renowned for its fantastic fishing. This is a great location, and an ideal base for touring the area.
