  My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Ring Fort Lodge.

  It is in a good location with lovely views out of the patio doors. The kitchen/lounge is very nice, however there are areas that need attention. Firstly the mixer tap on the sink is free to twist and wobble about needing three hands to turn it on, keep hold of it and what you want to rinse under the tap. It's great to have the dishwasher but a small draining tray alongside the sink would be very useful to place the odd items on you just want to rinse. In the bedroom whilst the bed is very comfortable there is very little clothes hanging and storage space. It was a shame that the wardrobe would not fit in the bedroom & was situated in the lounge. However with the great shortage of hangers it would not have helped much had it been in the bedroom. The room is small but is cluttered up with unnecessary useless furniture. We had to leave most of our clothes in the suitcases on the floor in the bedroom and one case in the lounge. The only mirror on the wall had a clothes hanging rack in front of it so you couldn't use it. The shower and W/C room was OK but the shower screen being small & open at both ends meant the water flooded onto a mat just between the door and shower. We had to hang the soggy wet matt up in the shower to drain after every shower. Surely a rubber shower matt could be placed there which would drip dry when hung up instead of having a wet mat to stand on when coming out of the shower. We also had to mop the floor each time we showerd as it became a skating rink when wet. The sink whilst being perfectly OK was placed on top of an old wooden cabinet that was falling apart when you tried to open the doors. The tap over the sink was the most weird tap I have ever seen. It was anything but user friendly and was difficult to turn on without getting showered in spray. The host kindly left a basket of bread, eggs and other snacks even some butter in the fridge which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. However we have never stayed anywhere were only one toilet roll was supplied. All in all we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation had a lot of pluses but could and needs to be made more user friendly instead of quirky.

  The owner ( and his gorgeous little dog ) was very welcoming and helped us when we had difficulty with the tv.

  He came straight away. He gave us lots of great information of the area of walks, shops etc. The property was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, we had everything we needed for lovely holiday. It is situated in a fabulous spot with open views from the patio door, lovely 5 minute walk along a grass path and down steps to the beach, perfect! It's a beautiful, quiet spot to get away from the humdrum of everyday life. Would love to stay again and can highly recommend to others. If you like peace and quiet, this is the perfect place for you. We had a fantastic week, the weather wasn't too bad and one day we sat outside in the garden in glorious sunshine reading, It was a proper sun trap and perfectly peaceful.

  This house is exceptional!

  ! So comfortable, well finished, well maintained. Loved the fireplace in the living room (you wouldn't need the heat out of it as the house is warm but the flame lights were cozy in the evening!) Lovely garden. Peaceful surroundings. Had a conversation with the owner one of the days and turned out we stayed in another fantastic property he owns in Crohy head last year (on the otherside of Dungloe), equally as beautiful! We were very sad to leave! Only a 10 minute drive to Dungloe and 10/15 minute (easy) walk to shop and pub. Stayed as a couple plus extended family of 4 with 2 dogs. You don't have to drive far for nice beaches and walks. Will be booking early for next year!!

  We were thrilled we chose Pebble Lodge.

  The kitchen was well stocked with teas and coffees as well as a wonderful welcome hamper and note. The accommodation was comfortable, as were the beds. Our little dog loved exploring the fenced in back garden. The home is in a great location and we enjoyed the ten minute walk to town and all the lovely shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants it had to offer. We enjoyed walking to the stone circle and pier too. We stocked up at Aldi, but then found the supermarket center next to it was better for ready meals and organic produce- both a 5 minute drive away. Our host responded to questions quickly and was kind and thoughtful. We could not have been happier.

  I loved this property so much!

  You can't see in the pictures but it is attached to another house. The rooms were great, the kitchen was massive and it had a lovely view. We sat in front of the massive windows looking at the stars and one night watch8ng a storm. Rosaleen was great, told us how to work everything. She checked in a few times to make sure we didn't need anything. She also made sure we had tea and cake when we arrived which was lovely too. It was close to all the sites we wanted to go to. Only half an hour from Sligo but we mostly went to Carrick-on-Shannon which was also beautiful. Overall it was a great place to stay
