  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.

  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

  The property is not to a standard to give a comfortable winter break, the temperature in the living area was only 16c .

  If the oil fired central heating on its high setting used 1 litre per hour, oil is charged at €1 per litre which is 27+% over its actuall cost . All the heat was sucked up the open fire chimney. We used 60kg of coal , 5 baskets of peat and 1 bag of logs. Total cost of heating €81 for 6 days to attain at temperature of 18c at the end of the 6th day. This issue was exasperated by a draft around the double bedroom window, no seal around the loft space doors in the upper bedroom and no flap valve on the toilet extractor fan . All heat was lost if you opened the front door because there was no porch. A hot tap was not fitted on the left hand side , good job none of us is blind ( Europe Standard) . A sink was loose on wall , and the hot water tank had no insulation at all. I also think the bed quilts were not winter tog , their was not one sharp piece of cutlery. Dust in the corners and cobwebs all over. Bed room lay out was very poor, I'm sorry there is no finesse or care visible on this property.

  The property was everything that we hoped it would be, matching the pictures and descriptions on the website.

  The views were stunning, particularly as we were blessed with probably one of the best week’s weather of the year. I have spinal issues and choose properties that appear to have comfortable furniture, very often I’m disappointed but on this occasion the sofas and beds were great. The owners have created a beautiful home and provide pretty much everything that you would need. There’s plenty to see and do in the area, lovely walks and beaches close to the house and pretty good shops and restaurants in Dungloe which is a short drive away. If you want somewhere that you can completely relax in peace and quiet you won’t be disappointed. We couldn’t get the TV to operate but decided not to bother contacting the owner about it as it was nice to just read and chat and soak in the views that didn’t disappoint thanks to the sunshine. We’d love to return some time in the future as this was a great find.

  We absolutely fell in love with this house, the house was beautiful, perfect infact.

  The owners left us a lovely bottle of wine when we arrived which was a lovely touch. We spent a week living in luxurious comfort, the views where amazing and it was so peaceful there, shops where a short drive away the area has some of the most beautiful beaches ive ever seen, we made some beautiful memories in this house, and we where truly saddened to have to leave, Only thing I would say and it's the only negative and a small one was the midges (flys) where attracted by the spotlight at the front of the house at night stopping us from sitting out as much as we would have liked at night. We plan to return to this house as it stole our hearts. Thank you to the owners for giving me and my family some unbelievable memories.
