What our customers say about their holidays

  Well we arrived in Nephin View on 26th a beautiful sunny afternoon & the house is in a lovely spot so quiet & Peaceful.

  however I have to say we were a bit disappointed with the house. It looks like it has been recently painted but unfortunately the Hob left a lot to be desired. Needed a good clean. We couldn't even find the switch to turn it on & there wasn't any Instruction Book around on any of the appliances apart from the Dishwasher.. Kettle was even a bit greasy on the outside.The Fridge appeared to be Defrosting leaving water gathering on the bottom shelf .. The doors of the Fridge weren't even attached to the outside door. We couldn't open/close some of the windows as the handles were broke. One of the Wardrobes had a Screw sticking out on the inside which would tear your clothes if you didn't know it was there. There was no hooks on the back of the doors so nowhere to hang a dressing gown or a jacket. One of the wet rooms didn't even have a towel rail & there was no bulbs in the lights over the mirror in the Ensuite..However both Wet rooms had Grab Bars which was a great addition.. This was a three bedroom house which could mean up to six people staying. The Dining Table only had four Chairs with some small Rattan Chairs if you needed extra. We then decided to go outside to sit in the sun & have a coffee & when the other person on the holiday sat in the garden chair (Ratten) the seat collapsed leaving her practically sitting on the ground. Luckily she didn't break anything apart from hurting her shoulder a bit. It would have been worse if it was me as I'm currently waiting on a Hip & Knee Replacement. Not the start you want to your holiday. I then rang the Contact Number listed & spoke to what seemed like a very confused man only to find out He was in Australia on holidays so God only knows how much that call cost me. He wasnt really very helpful nor did he even ask how the Lady was after the fall. He gave no other Contact Number leaving us at a loss as to who we should ring if the was a serious problem & I certainly wasn't going to ring Australia again. I tried another number that was pined up on a door in the hall & that wasn't much help either. The Lady has nothing to do with the house but she would try & help if she could. . A New Contact Number should have been left when the Owner & his Wife knew they were going to Australia. There was no Information Pack in the house about the surrounding area. No Information regarding the Local supermarkets/Restaurants around. No Telephone number for the Emergency Services The Police or even the Local Hospital or G.P. There was no Information regarding Rubbish & no Rubbish Bins outside the house so we didn't know where to leave our Rubbish when leaving. There wasn't even any Information on the Central Heating or if it was set to come on at certain times & no Information where to leave the used Towels. So with no Information supplied you just used your own judgement This. Property could be a little gem if it was managed properly & all of the above problems were sorted but for our visit the property certainly wasn't ready to be rented out & not having a local Contact Number is a very big problem. We are very disappointed & annoyed especially having paid £625 (€720). We have booked through Sykes before & this is the first time we really had any issues with a property. I just wonder if anyone vetted it before it became listed ? This sort of thing certainly won't do Sykes Reputation any good. Have taken photos of above complaints if requested.

  We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage.

  It was spotlessly clean, spacious, very comfortable and cosy. The efficient heating system meant that the whole place warmed up very quickly when needed. It was well equipped and provided everything required for food preparation and cooking when we didn’t eat out. The pictures of the property were accurate and as expected. The location was perfect for touring this lovely part of Donegal without having to clock up too many miles and we would certainly stay here again if we return to this area. One of our favourite trips was to Glebe house and we would most definitely recommend a visit to this fascinating house. There are beautiful beaches nearby although the cold weather meant we did not make much use of the swimming facilities! We would also like to thank the owners for their welcome pack- a lovely gesture and much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend Ard an Phiobaire and hope to return here ourselves, at some point in the future. Thank you

  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.

  I am just afraid to provide my genuine feedback on this piece of paradise as I worry that I will not be able to book it when I want to in the future.

  This is my fourth trip this year to Teresa and Bernard's properties, here and Crohy house - this area of Donegal is so special, we travelled short distances to different beaches each day and indeed many times a day too. The house is so comfortable, clean, modern, every possible facility available. The panoramic view from the sitting room is truly special - 180 degree landscape to include rolling mountains, sea, tides and the oyster farm of course. Stylish, modern, clean and comfortable and so quiet - a piece of paradise to relax in. Also had the pleasure of meeting Bernard and Teresa this time which was super special. The fantastic furniture and maintenance of their properties is a credit to them both.
