"We were a family group of six on a holiday."
Having four ground floor rooms, en-suite, was perfect as some of our group had mobility issues. Veronica (the owner), John & Jackie were so thorough when we had a bit of a hic-up at the beginning of our stay. All was sorted in double quick time. The two bedrooms upstairs were equally good. Also the second upstairs sitting room was a great space to have. Because we had very good weather during our stay, the heat in the house was a bit too much for us. A good complaint to have I expect! There was everything we needed in the kitchen. The oven was in need of a clean prior to our stay. Everything else was perfect. The views from the property are breathtaking. It is a very special place to experience.

"An excellent property for a large group with extensive 'break out' space."
We loved the spectacular location, the internal space, the stunning views, easy walking access to the sea and easy driving to many places of interest. The locals were extremely friendly and all we needed was available in the village. We will miss the lovely cows and calves in the adjacent field and the peace and tranquillity.

"The accommodation was ideal for our family of 7 adults and 5 children."
The location was very special with stunning views and scenery. Plenty of rooms to play games and relax with a book. There is some noise coming from one of the pipes upstairs when using one of the bathrooms but didn't bother us. (Just thought the owners might like to know) All kitchen appliances and equipment we're first class.

"Hi we enjoyed our stay nice quiet location house was very clean and tidy ..."
Hi we enjoyed our stay nice quiet location house was very clean and tidy inside,kitchen was very well equipped and spotless, the beds were not the best to sleep on , shower heads were poor in some bathrooms our room was tied up with a shoe lace, it worked but we were all looking forward to a good shower and nice bed back home, outside was very overgrown and as we looked out windows there was a lot of overgrown weeds nettles etc, concrete outside patio area was very poorly finished as our youngest had a fall after tripping on rough surface and grazed her knees BBQ was a lovely idea and we did use it but there was no utensils so we did struggle a bit when using the bbq, the end of the lane turning out on to road was dangerous, somebody had to get out of the car each time to check the road, on the other small roads we did notice mirrors were used to see both ways this could work here as well, we loved our stay we spent most of our time in enniscrone village we loved it there,

"Lovely cottage."
Rooms were perfect. Excellent location (although directions on how to find it were poor) Perfect for the WAW. Overall cleanliness was great & towels were provided, I cant fault any of our stay. My only negative was there were a few webs n dust in corners on the floor

"We had a lovely holiday in a comfortable house in a beautiful location."
The house was spacious with comfortable beds and facilities. The location was within a fairly short drive to some great beaches and lovely towns. The property is an excellent choice for families or a large group looking to relax in a peaceful location. All in all we had a great break. Jo

"The fact that we did not meet any caretaker or person involved in preparing house for tenants, we wondered how we would deal with an emergency if it occurred."
Phone number given seemed to be an English one which I rang on 1st day with a minor query but got no reply. This is not a complaint but an observation! We were very happy with the accommodation, many thanks,

"Location is simply superb."
Wonderful views from the cottage. The house is fully equipped with all required appliances.

"We visited Doonaulton House as a group family holiday and the house and location could not have been any better."
There were 10 of us all together and the house was perfect as we didn't feel like we were all on top of each other due to the amount of space that the house provided. The house is located close to a shop and there are fun things to do a short drive away. While we stayed for the week there was plenty to do. We visited Knocknarea and also took a day trip to Bundoran. Close by is a town called Easkey which was beautiful. A short drive away was Enniscrone which was great for the kids. This house had amazing views and located in a quiet peaceful place. We would definitely stay again at Doonaulton House and would highly recommend anyone to stay at here.

"The house was very comfortable and we loved the big bedrooms with en suites."
Our group was on a work retreat, so having several places we could go to talk and not disturb others was fantastic. The property was beautiful and peaceful. The issues we ran into were that the fan over the hob didn't work, the faucet on the kitchen sink was intermittently leaky, there was no clothes dryer as listed on the property description (only a rack), and the internet was so slow (well under 5Mbps) even with an ethernet cable plugged into the router I had to cancel several scheduled meetings that require video conference.

The property
Located in Doonalton, just outside of Dromore West, County Sligo is this magnificent, architecturally designed six-bedroom holiday home, Doonalton House.
Boasting six splendid double bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities, off-road parking and incredible views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Doonalton House welcomes up to twelve guests, ideal for families or groups of friends seeking to enjoy a memorable escape on the Wild Atlantic Way in the beautiful West Coast of Ireland.
After unloading your personal belongings and having taken in the stunning views, take the weight off your feet by kicking back in the homely living/dining room as a member of the group rustles up a feast in the open plan, well-equipped kitchen.
Settle down at one of two dining tables, ready to tuck in as the wine is poured and conversation flows before stepping out onto the private patio, if the weather permits, to delight in a toast over a cold beverage, basking in your lovely surroundings as dusk sets in; the views of the Wild Atlantic Way from Doonalton House are simply breathtaking.
Take advantage of two generous relaxation spaces including a first-floor games/reading room and a further first-floor sitting room with balcony, perfect for getting lost in a book, a game of chess or admiring magnificent views of the coastline, before treating yourself to a warm shower or bath in your respective en-suite.
The bedrooms all consist of doubles and offer plenty of storage to house your belongings, with some residing on the ground floor which may be more suited for the older members of your group.
If you’re ready to leave the sumptuous surroundings of Doonalton House, there is so much to explore nearby.
A short drive away, you will find the beautiful Blue Flag accredited Enniscrone Beach, stretching for an amazing 5km and surrounded by a lively little seaside town, it offers a range of activities from surfing, golfing, walking, horse riding, amusements, sand dunes, fishing, swimming to a variety of summer camps that are held throughout the summer months.
You should also find time to relax in the world-famous seaweed baths, renowned for their health benefits.
In nearby Easkey, discover the historic remains of Easkey Castle, stroll along Easkey Pier or follow the famous Wild Atlantic Way, known as one of the longest, defined coastal routes in the world with stunning cliff top and sea views, in addition to a surfing school.
The local shop, ‘Bernie’s’, can provide everything you need to ensure your self-catering holiday is fully stocked or you can refuel with a hearty pub lunch.
Guests can also enjoy a day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage site at the Ceide Fields, visit Achill Island and Westport Town and House, climb Croagh Patrick or enjoy a tour through the world-famous Foxford Woollen Mills.
For those that enjoy fishing, the River Moy is the greatest asset here in the region, and with the nearby Ballina known as the Salmon Capital of Ireland, there are lots of opportunities to enjoy the river; there is also a wealth of lake and sea fishing available throughout the region.
Keen walkers will be delighted with their close proximity to a range of scenic coastal paths, where you can soak up the best views and scenery in the area.
For keen golfers, Enniscrone has the finest and most challenging traditional Irish links golf courses and offers 27 holes on 400 acres of magnificent land.
It also features the par 73 Dunes Championship Links Course, one of Ireland’s top-ranked championship links courses, a “must play” as described by American golf novelist Tom Coyne.
For something less challenging, there is also a wonderful pitch and putt in Enniscrone, perfect for the whole family to get involved in some friendly competition.
For your next trip to Ireland, make Doonalton House your home-from-home.
