Every room in the house was clean, bright and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and the location really suited us as we were attending a special occasion in the Red Door. It was great value for money.

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.

Family break: 2 adults & 2 children. Loads to do, loads of activities and loads to see. The kids preferred Donegal to our week in Spain earlier this yr. The area is beautiful with lovely beaches nearby and loads of things to visit. We will definitely be back soon.

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.
The apartment is located within easy walking distance of Buncrana town centre and local shops including a Lidl and an Aldi. Clodagh and her family went out of their way to make my family feel very welcome including adding her own personal touches to the apartment. The rooms and bathrooms were all very warm and comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We also enjoyed sitting out on her lovely balcony looking over Lough Swilly and the Inishowen Peninsula. We would have no hesitation booking again on our next return trip to Buncrana.
Apartment is in a great location, minutes from the beach and town centre. We would especially recommend Tank and Skinnys by the pier for breakfast and lunch and the Sherpa restaurant on Main street for dinner, both of which were only minutes walk from the apartment. Check in was easy with the owner messaging me the code for the key box. Very clean property. Large with 2 wc's and.spacious enough for our group.of 4. Comfortable beds and pillows.
We really enjoyed our break in Buncrana and would book this apartment again.
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.
I stayed with my wife and two boys 5 and 7.upon arrival there was a welcome basket which was very kind and very much appreciated by us all was a lovely touch to welcome us. We all had a lovely time at the house, great location to everything in buncrana 5 min Walk into town center. House was perfect ,very clean and everything we needed was a like a home from home. The host was so kind and made sure we had everything sorted for us. Can't recommend enough definitely stay again
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. We were not able to be on time for breakfast but host was very obliging and facilitated us.
Th hotel was extremely well run, service in house and restaurant was excellent. Good range of dinner choices available and at breakfast there was the best range of fresh fruit I have come across in a long while. All in all this was one of the best value for money hotels I have used and the spaciousness and comfort of the room would be hard to beat.
Lovely hotel in a stunning location! Rooms are spacious and very clean.. Breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious and the bar is a great atmosphere that even had live music on the Saturday night! Lovely spa area with super jacuzzi and beautiful beach right beside hotel. Staff very friendly too! Will definitely be back.
I had a wonderful stay in buncrana. The people are very welcoming and the location is so beautiful. The accommodation is only a short walk to the main street of the town and the room is bright and very spacious. The breakfast was lovely, and I would definitely recommend staying here.
Spotless. Great views out across the old Church and valley. Three really good sized bedrooms. Kitchen and living space really cosy with a great wood burning stove. Also very peaceful in amongst farmland and cattle. Short walk to Buncrana town centre and Swan Park.
Bruncrana is lovely little town at the edge of Lough Swilly.The Cottage provides more than enough space for a family of four. It was very clean,had all the essentials and was very comfortable. Idea location for touring Inishowen and it's stunning beaches.
The property was spacious and equipped with what we needed for our stay. We were visiting the area to attend a family wedding, easy to check in.
May benefit from some soft furnishings to help acoustics in the lounge and kitchen.
Central with a good car park across from it..great walks and big park if you have kids .good beach is 5 mins away and town also just 5 mins walk.. breakfast was very tasty best I've eaten in a long time and spotless in my room...
This Property is located near the river, which is a very nice walk. It is really quiet but only 5 minutes walk from Buncrana center. Breakfast was very good and the host kind and helpful
great location but loud if it’s warm outside and you have to open windows to cool off. walking distance to restaurants and pubs and lovely shore walk as well. Very close to the ferry!
The Family room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Location was excellent. The breakfast bag in fridge was a lovely idea and a welcome surprise.
