17 The Fort Greencastle

This was a very special stay for my mother and myself over Christmas. Waking up to the beautiful view of Lough Foyle from the bedrooms is an experience we’ll never forget! Francis and Kay were very accommodating. They met us at the property to show us around. Providing logs to light the wood stove fireplace and adding a few Christmas lights was a really lovely touch that made us feel right at home. There are beautiful walks right from their doorstep. We extended our stay an extra night and it was still very hard to leave! We will definitely be back again.

As a previous reviewer said, I’d give Francis’s place 10 stars if I could! Spectacular location, AMAZING views, superb comfortable accommodation, fully equipped kitchen, lovely touches like the throws to keep you warm on the balcony, a BBQ & the bikes…I could go on and on… all in all a top class rental. Francis and Kay were very helpful with every query. We absolutely loved our stay and we will definitely be back!!!

The view is worth the stay alone! The kitchen had everything we needed, sheets and towels were soft and very clean. Labels throughout the place made it easy to use, and there was also a binder with suggestions for the local area. We enjoyed just sitting on the swinging chair on the balcony to take in the views.

We stayed at this house for 4 nights. Highly recommend. We really enjoyed our stay. First time to Donegal and won’t be our last. The views from the apartment are outstanding. So close to all attractions such as malin head and giants causeway. The communication was the best i have come across. No matter what time i messaged Francis he responded within minutes. They were so welcoming when we arrived and we cannot wait to return again. We have stayed in many places throughout Ireland but this one is top of the list now. There is a walkway along the coast from the apartment which brings you into greencastle village. We walked this on an evening when the sun was setting and it was absolutely beautiful.
