This must be the ultimate in bed and breakfasts. The room was cosy and warm. The breakfasts amazing. A lounge room with chocolates and extra cups of tea. Lots of cakes and slices extra. We arrived early and were made welcome. Given lots of guidance with our planned activities. And ideas on where to find dinner. Josephine and Charlie were warm and gracious. It was a shame we could not stay longer. It is a great base for exploring Derry and Donegal and the north region of Ireland.

We enjoyed three glorious nights in this lovely home. It was a great base to explore Donegal and a short drive into Northern Ireland for the next part of our trip. Our room was so pretty and had everything we could possibly need plus some. Breakfast was amazing and included fresh eggs from their hens, just hard to eat it all because Josephine bakes the most delicious breads. Both of the hosts were extremely helpful making sure we had everything we needed, including information about where we could find food for dinner on Easter Sunday. They made sure we had travel tips for our travels depending on where we were driving that day. I would definitely stay here again. Location was easy to find, and was in a quiet area. Thank you, Josephine. Think of us when you look at your oyster shell we left for you.

We had an amazing time at this B&B. The home is gorgeous and the bedroom was wonderful. The breakfast was the topping on the cake. You felt like you were taken back in time. Josephine was an absolute pleasure to speak with, and I would love to visit again. The location is very close to town and is easily walkable. We did not have much time, but we made the most of it.

A total delight starting with tea and biscuits on arrival. The home was spectacular, impeccably clean, and the attention to all details that make for a memorable stay was evident. Breakfast was without a doubt the best of our entire stay.
