    Location is good The property looks good on the outside nice garden plenty of outside parking Layout inside spacious , but is in need of a deep clean especially in the kitchen , fridge freezer was ok but needs replaced Dishes were filthy I had to bleach the cups and wash plates before use , the inside of cupboards were filthy Hob oven and tiles were disgusting, the sink was bad and I had to bleach it , blinds falling to bits in some of the rooms , kitchen cupboards are in need of attention , around bottoms of shower trays , inside of windows a frames need a good cleaning Had to buy a duvet cover for the upstairs en-suite room as the under side was all rough with the material balling I payed over £1000 for 7 days expected better , I don’t live with dirt at home so don’t want to live in conditions like Sallywood for a holiday There needs to be a governing body to inspect these properties as the level of hygiene is bad , Skye’s need to investigate the properties before they advertise as pictures are deceiving I have found the condition of properties I rent which is twice in the year have started to slip where cleanliness and overall maintenance is concerned Prices are ridiculously high for what you get

About the location

BALLYBOFEY, COUNTY DONEGAL

Donegal Town 16 miles; Letterkenny 18 miles.

Located through Barnesmore Gap in the heart of County Donegal and resting on the banks of the River Finn, Ballybofey is often mentioned in the same breath as its ‘twin town,’ Stranorlar, with the two towns separated by a small bridge across the River Finn. The river is noted for its quality trout and salmon fishing with a number of other fisheries dotting the area. The town has much to offer with a good selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, a theatre, an 18-hole golf course and regular traditional music and other nightlife in the evenings. Walkers will enjoy exploring the local woodlands or the shore walk around Lough Trusk, while the 47km-long Bluestack Way, which meanders through the mountains of the same name, is also accessible.

Note: This property has a minimum booking of 4 nights.
