Recent Reviews in Glencolmcille

The Rusty Mackerel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a historic pub full of history and culture. The people are lovely! The bnb portion is a newer construction of little row cottages in the back. Very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this place for good food, fun times, and a great place to stay! Right beside the access to Sliabh liag as well!"

Sleibhte Sliabh Liag

8/10 Good

"Was not clear in the description that the building is actually divided into 3 units. We booked the 3 bedrooms only to realise it's upstairs. And is a big con for a disabled visitor. The flight up is okay but imagine if you can't climb up the stairs! Each bedroom had their tiny individual shower rooms. No hooks for hanging clothes, very tiny space for putting toiletries, or none at all. Had to put on the floor or on the toilet seat. Bedrooms are spacious and clean. Kitchen is new and clean. We didn't cook. No dish washing machine and no dryer. We did use the washing machine that took forever to spin dry. Heater was working well. Was very warm towards the end of the stay. Living room is very small with large dated sofas... There are 3 of us, so it was enough for us, but a bit claustrophobic. Big con for me: no windows to look out and admire the beautiful view unless I stand next to window or bedroom or on a ladder. Location is hard to find when it is dark. Please print the map out before travelling there because there is no 4G, not even H, and no phone signal! It is in the middle of nowhere. I was lucky I caught some signal to get my location while we were searching for the house when it was dark. We didn't know who to call anyway if we had gotten lost - no prior communication with the owners. Pros: quiet and stunning location for those who love nature."

Village House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for touring Donegal. Clean and comfortable. Lovely hosts. Had a good pint at McLaughlin's pub down the road. Very nice stay. Close to Donegal town, the coast road from Killybegs and about a half hour from Ardara and an hour from Letterkenny."

"Had a short break there. Good central place for touring. Lovely views at the back, easy parking. Comfortable place. Steep stairs to upper flat so not good for those with mobility issues. Ground floor flat would be fine."
