    The hotel is a bit out of the town centre, but perfectly fine for car drivers - once you get used to the multi level one way system! Buncrana is well placed for touring North Donegal County and visiting Derry/Londonderry City nearby in N. Ireland, to where there are no travel or border restrictions. Thought the local ferries were a bit expensive for cars. The local attraction "Wild Ireland" situated near Burnfoot was well worth a visit. And a visit to Ireland's most northerly point, Malin Head, is a "must do" too. Be advised that the famous Slieve League Cliffs are over 100km from Buncrana.

    The house was ideal for a large family group.

    The house was ideal for a large family group. There were plenty of baths and showers in the house. The house has a great view. Apart form a few very minor things we were very satisfied. There is beautiful countryside, excellent beaches, and places of historical interest within easy reach of Buncrana.

    A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit.

    A visit to Dunree Fort is worth a visit. We didn't visit the museum but did some of the walks which were spectacular. We also ate in the little cafe on site which was very good indeed. Coffee in particular! Buncrana town is lovely, plenty of shops, bars and cafes. Its a one way drive system. We ate at Tank and Skinnys - just coffee and cake, but the food going to other tables looked delicious - we'll definitely be back.

    We were going to Buncrana festival and this property was perfect for us. It was less than a 5 minute walk to the festival site. The apartment is comfortable and very well equipped. The sofa bed in the lounge was easy to erect and comfortable for my daughter. Gary met us on arrival and went through everything with us. All communication prior to the visit was prompt and friendly. We ate in the centre of town before the gig. It is an easy 10 min walk. There was a great pub opposite the apartment also.

    Caldra is a beautiful B&B located with fabulous views. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. It was a short walk into Buncrana and a number of options for dinner and entertainment. Breakfast was great and everything was possible.

    Warm welcome from Jason and his lovely black Labrador Peppa. Very comfy bed. Lovely view of the sea fromthe bedroom. Quiet location, and very convenient to Buncrana town, Beaches and facilities.and the heating being turned on for a short period in the evening was a nice touch, even though it was a nice evening in general.

    Lovely big property, beautiful views over the lough, 2 minute drive to a lovely beach, and near to pubs / restaurants. Lots of space for the family to spread out in the property and I can imagine in summer it will be stunning having a BBQ in the outside patio area. Heating also worked well.

    Although it was to be a room only, our provider fed us both mornings we were there. We were also treated to a lovely St. Pat's Day with our providers as we spent the day celebrating with them. Tara guided us all around Buncrana.
