“Quiet, remote location providing for a restful week's stay.”
The Cabin was spotlessly clean, well furnished and provides what is needed for a self-catering stay, including some outdoor cooking on the wood-burning chimera (wood and fire-making materials all provided).
Internet provision was fast, so research on the area was easy.
HD TV was provided through Netflix, Amazon Prime, AppleTV+ etc.
The surrounding area provides beautiful scenery and you are well rewarded during trips to Glenveagh National Park, Horn Head, Melmore Head peninsula, Fanad Head Lighthouse or just around the Mulroy Bay.
There is also plenty of choice of places to eat out, from Pizza & Burgers to excellent Fish in Fisk Seafood Bar, Downings.
The owner, Shane, was on hand during part of the week, to ensure all was well, plus provide recommendations within the local area.
For a holiday and break, in this part of Ireland, well recommended.

Davey Johns Forge Cabins
Resting alongside the picture-perfect Mulroy bay and boasting stunning views and a quintessentially Irish feel throughout the grounds are the Davey Johns Forge Cabins. Each cabin is decorated with chic and contemporary finishings, with hints of Donegal’s famous Mcnutt tweed running throughout the spaces adding to the charm of the dwellings. The cabins offer off-road parking and a delightful decked area, as well as all the home comforts one could need for a relaxing, self-catered holiday away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just a short drive away from the site are magnificent blue flag beaches, championship golf courses and popular attractions such as the magnificent Glenveagh National Park, which is a haven for avid walkers and cyclists. From here you can also find Glenveagh Castle a 19th century castellated mansion, encompassed by beautiful gardens and courtyards. A fun-filled day out can be enjoyed at the nearby Tropical World, a delightful zoo with a fascinating array of animals, from creepy crawlies to primates and many in between. For a spot of history, the Donegal County Museum and Newmills Corn & Flax Mill are both reachable by car and present an insight into the county's rich past. Making your way to the coast (a short 10 minute drive), be sure to visit Fanad Head Lighthouse to admire some of the best views in the country while atop of the dramatic cliffs, or stroll along the rugged coast to find the amazing Great Pollet Sea Arch. There are also plenty of walking and cycling opportunities in the area, as well as a good selection of pubs and award winning restaurants to keep you going during your adventurous days out.
