The Glen

The first impression of this property wasn't great.

We pulled up to the front door & saw that the side garden was so overgrown it was unusable, there was green algae all over the guttering & dormer window surrounds, paint & plaster were peeling off the outer walls, there was an old car parked at the side of the house & the doors & windows were covered in cobwebs. The rear garden looked like it hadn't been cut in months. But when we opened the front door we were greeted with a warm, spacious, comfortable home. The beds were super comfy, the showers were great, huge kitchen with lots of glasses, plates etc, the woodburner was perfect for taking the chill off the living room in the evening, great heating system with lots of hot water. Outside maintenance was definitely an issue but we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely property and very helpful owner .

Had a great stay.

The Glen is a real holiday for any family.

The property is secluded yet within easy reach of Carndonagh Town with every type of shop or service needed. The house itself, wow! We were blown away! The best quality appliances, full built in furniture throughout. Everything one would need is included in the package right down to the electric multi cooker. The rooms are all very spacious. 3 showers and a jacuzzi bath. The beds were very comfortable and had extra blankets and pillows. 7 beds in total, king-size, double and 3 single beds, one with a pullout mattress for an extra guest. The owner, Ryan, is obviously understanding of each individuals needs and has provided a luxury spacious, warm home to suit everyone and anyone. I had a severely learning disabled adult, two elderly and infirm parents and an adult with a serious medical condition. Everyone felt at home and everyone's needs were met. The ramp at the back door was a godsend. Ryan has maintained this home to the highest standard. He has an eye for detail and provides fixtures, fittings and accessories of very high quality. No expense spared. As a host, he was brilliant. Rowing up in the area, he is knowledgable and can guide you to the best places to visit, to dine at or to go for a lively morning walk. Responding immediately to any messages I sent, even on Christmas day. He is attentive and kind, taken care of every detail, honestly, this home definitely made Christmas break away one to remember; it was truly the best Christmas break our family has had for many years. I don't get many breaks away but I will be booking a break away to the Glen in 2025.
