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.

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.
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
This is one of the best place to stay either for getaway or vacations with nearby beach & town. Justin is very helpful from booking until check out, very responsive to all messages. The interior of the house is excellent, modern and very clean and the best part is the hot tub with nice view & can be used on any weather as it is indoor with fire and seating area to accomodate large no of ppl. I give this place 5 stars and definitely will return in future
I have been to a few BnB in Ireland but this one was exceptional. It felt like I was staying with my own family. Evelyn and her husband are one of the friendly people I ever met, they treat the guests with love and kindness. Always there to help with whatever I needed. My room was very clean and neat. Had a delicious breakfast as well, spoiled for choices. This place is now my second home whenever I visit buncrana.
The house was based just outside Buncrana, with plenty of restaurant options & takeaways amd a beach just down the road. There was plenty of room in the house for us, 5 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen and living space is very spacious and the outdoor area is very safe for kids. The host was very quick to reply to any messages in the lead up and during our stay. We would definitely return
The apartment was so well equipped with every thing you needed. Very spacious and so clean. We travelled with a three year old and she was delighted to see toys in the sitting room.The views from the kitchen are fab looking over buncrana ad the sea.Clodagh could not have been more accommodating, the best host we have ever had. We will definitely be back!!
We really like coming here. Comfortable, lovely views ask for 2nd floor, easy reach to buncrana. Food is practical and tasty with 2 types of choices 4 course or the relaxed bar. I'm coeliac, gluten free bread (good quality) and good choice of milks and hot food. Hubby was happy with his. Rooms warm and bed comfy my little happy place
The Harbour Inn is a brilliant hotel: very friendly and attentive staff; premises really clean throughout; and the food is excellent - generous portions too. Definitely recommend booking the breakfast option, the full Irish breakfast on offer is great and the breakfast room / area is so well stocked, spacious and comfortable.
I liked the setup of providing a PIN number and the room key available inside so no messing about with receptions! The room was spacious and very clean and more than adequate for my family as we have three small children so the single bed and sofa bed were ideal.
The location was ideal right on Buncrana main street
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.
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...
Well equipped flat conveniently located near to Inishowen Gateway hotel where we attended a wedding. Nice touches like free tea/coffee and biscuits. Very clean and homely
Brian could not have been a more gracious and helpful host. Absolute gentleman. Room was gorgeous. Location was excellent. Well worth a stay in beautiful Buncrana.
Marie was very friendly and helpful.
We had a room with a lovely view overlooking the town of Buncrana and Lough Swilly.
Extensive choice for breakfast.
